Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine how the adoption of blockchain technology can improve organizational sustainability and what are the contributions of morality, ethics and governance in this scenario. Design/methodology/approach This study has used different literature and theories to build a successful theoretical model and then validated it using the partial least squares structural equation modeling approach. Various statistical modeling analyses have been performed to test the robustness of the proposed model, which is found to be effective and unique as it has a high explanatory power. Findings This study has found that adoption of blockchain technology can improve the sustainability performance of organizations. It has also highlighted that organizational sustainability will be further enhanced if the underlying algorithms of blockchain technology are transparent to make the applications moral and ethical. This study has further demonstrated that appropriate governance of blockchain technology can support the organizations to enhance their sustainability performance. Research limitations/implications This study demonstrates the importance of an organization’s governance over blockchain technology and its impact on sustainability. The study provides valuable input to practitioners and policy makers regarding blockchain technology and its governance models. Also, the study provides valuable recommendations to leaders and managers of organizations on how to successfully adopt blockchain technology. Originality/value This study presents a unique theoretical model to explain the influence of the adoption of blockchain technology and an organization’s sustainability. The study also adds value to the overall body of literature in the areas of ethics, governance and blockchain technology along with sustainability.
区块链技术在组织中的应用:从道德、伦理和可持续性的角度
本研究的目的是研究区块链技术的采用如何提高组织的可持续性,以及道德、伦理和治理在这种情况下的贡献。本研究利用不同的文献和理论建立了一个成功的理论模型,然后使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模方法对其进行验证。已经进行了各种统计建模分析来测试所提出模型的稳健性,发现该模型是有效和独特的,因为它具有很高的解释力。本研究发现,采用区块链技术可以提高组织的可持续性绩效。它还强调,如果区块链技术的底层算法透明,使应用合乎道德和伦理,则组织的可持续性将进一步增强。本研究进一步证明,适当的区块链技术治理可以支持组织提高其可持续发展绩效。研究局限/启示本研究证明了组织治理对bb0技术的重要性及其对可持续性的影响。该研究为实践者和政策制定者提供了有关区块链技术及其治理模型的宝贵信息。同时,本研究也为企业领导者和管理者如何成功采用区块链技术提供了有价值的建议。原创性/价值本研究提出了一个独特的理论模型来解释bb0技术的采用对组织可持续性的影响。该研究还为伦理、治理、区块链技术以及可持续性等领域的整体文献增加了价值。
