Abstract
This paper explores the factors that facilitate and impede blockchain technology adoption (BTA) within business organizations. Analysing 112 scholarly articles via thematic and bibliometric methods reveals a complex adoption landscape, highlighted by the proposition of an innovative conceptual framework that augments the conventional technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework. This augmented framework integrates enabling factors, such as enhanced security mechanisms via smart contracts, and barriers, including scalability challenges and regulatory limitations. The research offers significant insights into cultivating a conducive ecosystem for BTA within organizations and provides practical implications.
