“…an organisation-wide implemented software) can correspondingly also spread negative outcomes more widely than traditional T&D methods (e.g. one bad trainer) (Davis et al ., 2021). Therefore, decisions on the implementation of technological applications in T&D should carefully balance their respective opportunities and challenges and we hope that our discussion of these topics contributes to the scientific and practical discourse on future technology usage in T&D.…”

“…At the same time, eliminating employees' personal development meetings with HR developers or supervisors also takes away the more interpersonal and empathetic aspects of T&D (Jooss et al ., 2022) and deprives employees of personal exchanges with their supervisors or HR representatives regarding their career development or specific or non-standard T&D requests. Researchers also note challenges regarding the use of automated agents as tutors or virtual interaction partners: Besides potential discrimination due to financial or technological restraints regarding access to, for instance, cutting-edge virtual reality-technology, they note that programming bias and a lack of transparency regarding the automated agents' reactions present potential threats (Davis et al ., 2021; Iserson, 2018).…”

PurposeTo remain competitive, efficient and productive, organisations need to ensure that their employees continuously learn and develop. This is even more challenging and critical in times characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA). Hence, several technological applications have been introduced with the promise to make organisational training and development (T&D) more efficient and targeted through digitisation and automation. However, digitising and automating processes in the sensitive field of T&D also poses challenges and perils for employees and organisations as a whole.Design/methodology/approachStructured by the T&D process of (1) assessment/planning, (2) design/implementation and (3) evaluation, the authors present different digitisation and automation possibilities and discuss the specific opportunities and challenges they pose. Subsequently, the authors identify and discuss overarching themes of opportunities and challenges of technology use in T&D via a meta-review.FindingsThis synthesis revealed three central topics that decision-makers in T&D should carefully consider when it comes to the implementation of technological applications: opportunities and challenges of (1) data collection, (2) decision-making and (3) the value of human contact.Originality/valueThis review integrates previously fragmented research on specific technologies applied to specific T&D functions and provides researchers and practitioners with a fuller picture of the opportunities and challenges of technology applied in T&D.

This study investigates the impact of tourist motivations on Thailand's appeal as a gastronomic tourism destination, addressing a gap in the existing literature by examining the specific factors that attract tourists to the country's culinary offerings. The primary research objective is to identify and analyze the motivations driving tourists to choose Thailand as a gastronomic destination, while also assessing the implications of these motivations for tourism stakeholders. Data was collected from 163 valid participants who had experiences with Thailand's gastronomic tourism. Using a combination of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, this study identifies four distinct factors that contribute to tourism motivation in Thailand: social interaction with novelty, relaxation, regression, and escape from boredom. Structural equation modeling is then employed to analyze the relationships between these factors and Thailand's appeal as a gastronomic tourism destination. The results indicate that social interaction with novelty, regression, and escape from boredom have a significant positive effect on Thailand's gastronomic destination, while relaxation is found to have no significant impact. These findings challenge existing assumptions about the role of relaxation in tourists' destination choices and provide valuable insights for tourism stakeholders seeking to capitalize on the growing popularity of gastronomic tourism. This research contributes to the understanding of gastronomic tourism motivations in Thailand, offering valuable insights for tourism stakeholders and paving the way for further exploration and understanding of the factors driving tourists' destination choices in the context of gastronomic tourism.

“…In creating opportunities for expert skill development, DP can provide the framework and approach to learning, while VR can be leveraged to provide the necessary and accessible environments for skills practice. Though VR represents an established technology with a history of commercially available headsets that began in the late 1970s and early 1980s, social work has yet to fully incorporate VR technology that can be harnessed to enhance the workforce's training [22]. With the increasing prevalence of VR and decreasing costs, VR is making inroads into the social sciences, including child welfare [23].…”

This last mode enables assessing the validity of VHS in building these target skills (see [22], for more details regarding design considerations of VSWT).…”

Background: Two disciplines that work in the child welfare arena, social welfare and healthcare, are crucial for addressing families’ and children’s needs in social, emotional, and physical healthcare situations. How child welfare workers are trained and how healthcare teams collaborate with other stakeholders in the child welfare system is crucial in meeting and sustaining the needs of families and children. Methods: We demonstrate two case examples, one focusing on enhanced learning tools through virtual reality (VR) and the other on strengthening collaborations between healthcare teams and the child welfare system. Results: For the VR training tool, 79% of participants indicated they would recommend the VR learning tool as effective in developing skills in the child welfare workforce. In response to the learning collaborative project, child welfare participants reported positive impressions regarding collaborative practices while identifying system-level barriers to implementation. Conclusion: Findings from these two case studies provide insights from which to consider system development for designing and implementing sustainable improvements in child welfare approaches to families and children referred for suspected maltreatment.
