“…Engaging with the metaverse for work necessitates that employees and independent workers become adept with new platforms, diverse work tools, and different work processes (*Xi et al, 2022). In product development, the adoption of the metaverse, including VR and three-dimensional models, can enhance processes and profitability by enabling real-time monitoring of process and product statuses, detecting errors, and reducing rework and processing time ( *Balzerkiewitz & Stechert, 2022).…”

“…Given the expansive and complex nature of organization development, practitioners in this field should conduct thorough assessments of potential effects and consequences before proceeding. For instance, when organizations aim to utilize the metaverse to enhance their production development processes, they must carefully consider how to seamlessly integrate the chosen metaverse system, data, and related software with their existing systems while mitigating potential system-related risks ( *Balzerkiewitz & Stechert, 2022). Moreover, the adoption of the metaverse can affect employees' mental demands and efforts, even if it enhances work efficiency (*Xi et al, 2022).…”

“…Metaverse applications for organization development pertaining to work practices and task support have been explored in various studies (*Balzerkiewitz & Stechert, 2022; *Choi, 2022; *Haywood et al, 2014; Purdy, 2022; *Rospigliosi, 2022; Xi et al, 2022). Given the broad scope of organization development, which encompasses aspects like organizational culture, structure, processes, member interactions, and overall system improvement within organizations (McLean, 2005), metaverse applications in this domain have evolved gradually and require additional time to establish stable technical standards, infrastructure, and readiness among organizational members in terms of culture, technology, and psychology, thereby promoting wider adoption.…”

This study reviews the potential applications of the metaverse to various areas of human resource development (HRD) and reflects on the applications’ significance for employee and organizational development. Adopting a narrative review approach to this study, we selected and reviewed 34 cases. From our review, we found several findings that contributes to the HRD field in several ways. First, it draws the attention of HRD researchers and practitioners to a critical emerging trend that has been overlooked in the field. Second, it offers an analytical view of the metaverse in comparison to other training or learning technologies, assessing its effectiveness in employee development. Third, this study enhances the perspectives of HRD researchers and practitioners regarding this new technology by providing practical and theoretical insights into how metaverse-based interventions can reshape organizational culture and improve employee performance in the workplace. Lastly, it addresses compelling theoretical and practical questions related to HRD issues arising from the metaverse.
