Blockchain barriers in public organizations: A systematic literature review

Year: 2025

Type: review

Abstract: Blockchain technology has garnered attention for its potential to revolutionize public sector services by enhancing transparency, efficiency, and trust. However, adoption remains hindered by critical organizational and technical barriers, which are underexplored in current literature, particularly from an economic-organizational perspective. This paper systematically reviews recent studies to identify sector-specific challenges, including interoperability issues and a shortage of technical expertise. By addressing these barriers, the findings propose tailored strategies to facilitate effective implementation, offering practical insights for public sector stakeholders and laying a robust foundation for future research.
