Implication

Randomized trial tests a VR training model to improve collaboration intentions among construction workers, indicating its effectiveness.

Key Points

  • This study aims to develop and test a model linking virtual reality training features to collaboration intentions in construction.
  • Developed a structural model using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).
  • Involved 42 construction-aligned postgraduate students and equipment operators with a multi-robot VR environment.
  • Analyzed data on pre-training states, VR usability, and immersive learning experiences.
  • Learning experience significantly predicts collaboration intention (β = 0.846, p < 0.001).
  • VR features impact learning indirectly through usability, suggesting a usability-first training design.
  • First unified model integrating technology-mediated learning theory with human-robot interaction theory.
