“…Currently, telecommuters around the world are using immersive, interactive, and collaborative metaverse platforms like Gather, Teamflow, Meta, or platforms created by their employers (Park, Ahn & Lee, 2023). real work necessitates workers to commute to and operate from a designated office space, whereas remote work enables tasks to be accomplished using technology (such as just relying on email or a combination of several tools) without the need to travel to a real office.…”

The surge in telecommuting during the COVID-19 pandemic is a recent and noteworthy development that could potentially influence patterns of population mobility. In order to limit the transmission of Covid-19, the movement restriction was implemented in the whole world. It involves the shutdown of all government and private sectors, save for those that offer essential services. Concurrently, governmental implementation of social distancing measures has led to the increased utilisation of information and communication technology (ICT) for remote cooperation in professional settings. Consequently, a large portion of Chinese were required to work remotely from their homes during this crisis in order to ensure the safety of employees and sustain economic activity. This has led to a significant rise in telework throughout Asia, Europe, and the United States. The primary objective of this research paper is to discuss the existing knowledge on telework practices and the emerging trend of metaverse in the application of human resource policies in private sectors in China. The study aims to examine the influence of metaverse telework and non-metaverse telework on an employee's inclination to move from an urban to a rural location. This study has been established the conceptual framework which constructed three variable which are Employee’s Intention for Relocate of Residency as endogenous variable, while metaverse telework and non-metaverse telework as exogenous variable. This produced conceptual framework backed by the theory of reason action (TRA) and expected to gather the data via questionnaire from the employees in private sectors in China.

“…Several research studies [59]- [66] have been conducted to provide a strong backbone for understanding social and cultural norms of virtual worlds and digital avatars. It is also to be noted that these researchers have potentially indicated the technical challenges of implementing XR-based Metaverse that primarily involve issues with scaling and usability, such as motion sickness and nausea [3], [67]. XR is still evolving, and the human factor concerns are still far from being addressed.…”

“…Implementing a head-mounted display (HMD), such as Hololense, HTC Vive, and Meta Quest, is also challenging across masses due to various factors involving cost, expertise, and infrastructure. A study on the Metaverse workspace [67] also indicates that people are not willing to wear the headset for 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. jobs continuously all the time. It also suggests that users become uncomfortable wearing these headsets and vomit, thus taking these HMDs off very soon.…”

This paper presents a conceptual insight into the Design of the Metaverse to facilitate educational transformation in selected developing nations within the Global South regions, e.g., India. These regions are often afflicted with socio-economic challenges but rich in cultural diversity. By utilizing a socio-technical design approach, this study explores the specific needs and opportunities presented by these diverse settings. A rapid scoping review of the scant existing literature is conducted to provide fundamental insights. A novel design methodology was formulated that utilized ChatGPT for ideation, brainstorming, and literature survey query generation. This paper aims not only to shed light on the educational possibilities enabled by the Metaverse but also to highlight design considerations unique to the Global South.CCS CONCEPTS • Human-centered computing • Human computer interaction (HCI) • HCI theory, concepts and models

“…We approach distributed workplace collaboration [4,19,75,80] holistically, as a system that requires both organizational and technical considerations. We build on the body of HCI literature solving the problem of competing demands for workers' focus [12, 18, 25-27, 38, 66, 68-72] by providing an understanding of how and when meeting-free weeks can help.…”

Circle Back Next Week: The Effect of Meeting-Free Weeks on Distributed Workers’ Unstructured Time and Attention Negotiation

While distributed workers rely on scheduled meetings for coordination and collaboration, these meetings can also challenge their ability to focus. Protecting worker focus has been addressed from a technical perspective, but companies are now attempting organizational interventions, such as meeting-free weeks. Recognizing distributed collaboration as a sociotechnical challenge, we first present an interview study with distributed workers participating in meeting-free weeks at an enterprise software company. We identify three orientations workers exhibit during these weeks: Focus, Collaborative, and Time-Bound, each with varying levels and use of unstructured time. These different orientations result in challenges in attention negotiation, which may be suited for technical interventions. This motivated a follow-up study investigating attention negotiation and the compensating mechanisms workers developed during meeting-free weeks. Our framework identified tensions between the attention-getting and attention-delegation strategies. We extend past work to show how workers adapt their virtual collaboration mechanisms in response to organizational interventions.
