Purpose

Blockchain is a relatively new technology. Although it has a high potential to influence organizational strategies for adoption into respective operations, it has not been widely explored yet. This study aims to assess the sectoral diversity in the timing of organizational adoption of blockchain through selected organizational factors.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey was conducted based on a sample of 208 IT professionals. The data was collected using an instrument containing 17 questions. The existence of sector diversity was statistically analyzed using the Least Square Regression method.

Findings

The results indicate that, except for management support and perceived ease of use, all the other factors in the analysis significantly influence sector diversity in terms of blockchain adoption timing.

Originality/value

Although blockchain has received attention from researchers, to the best of the authors' knowledge, there is no published work in the literature that explores the organizational factors influencing sectoral differences in the timing of blockchain technology adoption. Therefore, our work is unique in the related literature since we present analyses for the diversity between public and private sectors by modeling the factors affecting the intentions for the timing of blockchain adoption as part of the organizations' IT infrastructure.

探索组织区块链采用时间的部门多样性

目的

区块链是一项相对较新的技术。尽管它有很大的潜力影响组织战略以用于各自的运营，但尚未得到广泛探索。本研究旨在通过选定的组织因素评估组织采用区块链的时间的部门多样性。

设计/方法/方法

一项调查是基于 208 名 IT 专业人员的样本进行的。数据是使用包含 17 个问题的工具收集的。使用最小二乘回归方法对扇区多样性的存在进行统计分析。

发现

结果表明，除了管理支持和感知易用性之外，分析中的所有其他因素都显着影响了区块链采用时间方面的行业多样性。

原创性/价值

尽管区块链受到了研究人员的关注，但据作者所知，文献中没有公开的工作探讨影响区块链技术采用时间的部门差异的组织因素。因此，我们的工作在相关文献中是独一无二的，因为我们通过建模影响采用区块链作为组织 IT 基础设施一部分的时间的意图的因素来分析公共和私营部门之间的多样性。
