Factors Influencing Blockchain Adoption in Government Organization : A Proposed Framework

With the rapid digitalisation of the economy nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important for organisations to embrace digital innovation. The emergence of blockchain technology illustrates digital innovation's disruptive impact and, at the same time, poses challenges to organisations. This study has been assisting government organisations in blockchain adoption that is reflected in far-reaching measures in terms of technology, organisation, and environment. Based on this framework, this research builds on an empirical study to explore the technology, organisation, environment and trust adoption of blockchain technology. This proposed framework aims to assist the government in developing blockchain adoption based on the baseline theory models, which are Technology, Organization, Environment (TOE), emphasis on trust and other blockchain adoption theories. This research uses a conventional literature review to identify the factors influencing blockchain adoption. Preliminary investigation has been conducted prior to develop the proposed framework. The interview session was conducted to verify the availability of the blockchain technology in government organisations. The proposed conceptual model can be valuable to government organisations and may assist those government organisations which consider blockchain technology in the organisation to be more secure.
