Sheikha M Alotaibi, Othman I Alsalloum

Abstract


In today's rapidly evolving professional environment, organizations are increasingly focused on improving employee skills and performance, which are crucial for organizational success. However, traditional training methods often fall short in bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This study investigates the use of Extended Reality (XR) technologies in employee training programs within Saudi companies and examines their impact on employee performance.  Data was collected through structured questionnaires from 163 employees and analyzed using SPSS.  The findings indicate that while XR technologies are not yet widely adopted, employees perceive them as beneficial for enhancing learning experiences and improving job performance. Employee views on XR's engagement compared to traditional methods are mixed.  Technical difficulties are a concern for some, highlighting the need for support.
