The structural model also proved a direct, strong, positive, and significant effect of behavioral intention on the actual use of metaverse technology. This confirms that a higher level of intention among employees directly reflects on employing these technologies in the work environment, supporting the development of tourism services and preserving archaeological heritage through modern digital methods.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u200bThe discussion committee consisted of: Professor Dr. Ali Abdul-Fattah Mahmoud \u2013 College of Administration and
