Abstract
This chapter explores the transformative capabilities of the Metaverse and its profound implications for human resource management (HRM) practices within the hospitality and tourism industry. Specifically, it elaborates on how the Metaverse can realign and reshape essential HR functions, encompassing talent acquisition, development, and retention. With its immersive technologies, virtual connections, and cross realities, the Metaverse holds the power to revolutionise the way we work and manage people. This chapter also recognises the importance of addressing various challenges that may surface while adopting the Metaverse in hospitality and tourism organisations. As such, it highlights the need for researchers to uncover these ethical considerations, such as issues of accessibility, justice, and biases, to aid managers in navigating the complexities of this novel technological landscape. The chapter discusses how important theoretical frameworks evolve due to the introduction of the Metaverse and outlines critical future research areas in HRM, providing a roadmap for hospitality and tourism researchers to extend inquiry in this area.
