The Acceptance of the Metaverse as a Platform for Knowledge Creation and Sharing in the Workplace

Abstract

Innovation has always been a driving force for change in the social norm and increasing efficiency in the workplace. This study attempts to understand the acceptance of the metaverse today with predictions of the future whereby the integration of the metaverse has always been the next big thing since the existence of the internet. The technology acceptance model is a framework that is used to investigate whether a new technology will be accepted or rejected by the users. The metaverse is an alternate world through the use of hardware where immersion is improved in comparison to other devices. In a sense, it is the virtual world or a simulation of reality. However, the technology itself is still considered to be new and therefore has room for improvement before it can be a social norm or a tool to be used by companies. This would therefore build a platform to study the acceptance of this technology using technology acceptance model.
