Abstract :
Present study aimed at presenting a framework for commercial banks’ preparedness indicators in use of blockchain technology. To this end, the meta-synthesis research method was employed. Among from 306 resources found over meta-synthesis steps, a number of 38 papers included our acceptance criteria. The four organizational, technical, individual and environmental factors were identified as indicators of commercial banks’ preparedness to use Blockchain technology. Organizational indicators included infrastructures development, managerial skills, human resources development, company or organization size, financial resources, receptive organizational culture, organizational policies, and senior management support. The technical indicators included complexity, technological security, access to technology, use of technology and specialized manpower. In addition, individual indicators included attitudes toward use, ease of use, perceived usefulness, and understanding of Blockchain technology. Finally, environmental indicators included rules and regulations, technology maturity, information exchange, compatibility, market dynamics, and governmental supports.
