Abstract The study analyzed the application of gamified heuristics for increasing efficiency of engineering leaders in projects characterized by high risks and uncertainties by means of development of an innovative conceptual model of gamified management aimed at the integration of gaming elements as feedback mechanisms, reward system, and decision simulations into managerial practices. Based on behavioral psychology and engineering management theory, the study explored the impact of gamification on managers’ ability to make efficient decisions, solve problems proactively, and collaborate within their project teams. The findings showed that gamified heuristics improved requirement processing time by 35.2%, prioritization accuracy by 27.9%, and decision-making accuracy by 26.4%, while reducing workflow bottlenecks by 66.6% and decision-making time by 50.8%. The results demonstrated that gamified heuristics served as an effective tool for dealing with uncertainty, establishing expectations, and maintaining productivity in high-pressure project environments. By applying a mixed method approach, the study confirmed that gamification increased managerial responsiveness and created a more effective and engaging environment for engineering leadership.
