Abstract

Purpose - This study examines the effect of crucial factors (benefits and sacrifices) influencing employees' perceived values (hedonic and utilitarian) towards metaverse meeting platforms. Further, the study investigates the impact of employees' perceived values (hedonic and utilitarian values) on behavioral intention to use metaverse meeting platforms. The study also examines how behavioral intention to use metaverse meeting platforms influences organizational SDG achievement. Finally, the authors analyzed the moderating impact of employee creativity. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from 228 participants through structured questionnaires, and the hypotheses were examined using the structural equation modeling approach. Findings - Social presence and technostress are significantly associated with perceived hedonic value. Further, social presence, exhaustion and technostress are significantly associated with perceived utilitarian value. Similarly, perceived hedonic and utilitarian value is significantly associated with behavioral intention to use metaverse meeting platforms. Further, behavioral intention to use metaverse meeting platforms is also significantly associated with SDG achievement. Originality/value - The study enriches the existing literature pertaining to the metaverse, strategic human resources, sustainability, employee creativity and technology adoption. The research also enriches the value-based adoption (VAM) and stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theories.
