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.
期刊介绍:
Studies directed toward the more effective utilization of existing resources, e.g. mathematical programming models of health care delivery systems with relevance to more effective program design; systems analysis of fire outbreaks and its relevance to the location of fire stations; statistical analysis of the efficiency of a developing country economy or industry.
Studies relating to the interaction of various segments of society and technology, e.g. the effects of government health policies on the utilization and design of hospital facilities; the relationship between housing density and the demands on public transportation or other service facilities: patterns and implications of urban development and air or water pollution.
Studies devoted to the anticipations of and response to future needs for social, health and other human services, e.g. the relationship between industrial growth and the development of educational resources in affected areas; investigation of future demands for material and child health resources in a developing country; design of effective recycling in an urban setting.
