Abstract

Social acceptability of innovation has been a rapidly growing field of study over the past three decades. However, this domain remains characterized by fragmented knowledge, which impedes both theoretical advancements and practical applications. In particular, the absence of a unified framework prevents the integration of diverse perspectives from existing research, limiting our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the innovation evaluation process. To address this gap, this study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) of 169 studies published between 1989 and 2022 across three databases (Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar). Using the SPAR-4-SLR protocol, we collected, organized, and evaluated the literature. Bibliometric analyses were conducted to map the field, revealing five key themes, which were further examined using the TCCM (Theory-Context-Characteristics-Methodology) framework. This integrated approach provides a unified perspective on the field while paving the way for new directions in future research.

创新的社会可接受性：系统文献综述及未来研究方向

在过去的三十年里，社会对创新的接受度已经成为一个快速发展的研究领域。然而，该领域仍然存在知识碎片化的特点，这阻碍了理论的进步和实际应用。特别是，缺乏统一的框架阻碍了现有研究的不同观点的整合，限制了我们对创新评估过程中涉及的机制的理解。为了解决这一差距，本研究对1989年至2022年间在三个数据库（Web of Science、ScienceDirect和b谷歌Scholar）上发表的169项研究进行了系统的文献综述（SLR）。使用SPAR-4-SLR协议，我们收集、组织和评估文献。我们进行了文献计量分析来绘制该领域的地图，揭示了五个关键主题，并使用TCCM（理论-背景-特征-方法）框架对其进行了进一步检查。这种综合方法为该领域提供了统一的视角，同时为未来研究的新方向铺平了道路。
