N2 - Metaverse applications would soon be as prevalent as TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. Recently, metaverse applications have begun to emerge in numerous fields, including higher education. As technology advances and provides new 3D immersive and fictional worlds, HEI is keen to learn how to meet these new opportunities. They are truly interested in understanding the aspects that would facilitate the successful adoption of metaverse technology by Gen Z students, who represent the current student generation. Nonetheless, there is a scarcity of research that provides useful insights into the salient factors that influence students' intentions and behaviors towards the usage of metaverse technology in higher education (Hi-Eduverse). Thus, this research aims at developing a consolidative conceptual model that combines a decomposed version of the TPB and PIIT. This model will then be used as part of an ongoing research project to examine Jordanian Gen Z university students' intentions to adopt metaverse technology and their positive Word-of-Mouth (WoM) behavior.
