Why is gene duplication seen as potentially event in evolution of species?

Yes. When a gene is duplicated you have one gene doing the job it was doing before and the possibility of the duplicated gene having a beneficial mutation and picking up a brand new job to do and making a newly beneficial protein. Of course if the mutation is deleterious that organism will not pass those genes on any further than progeny. Remember, only germline mutation are passed on to future generations.
