The use of digital technology is crucial for improving efficiency, fostering innovation, and optimizing service delivery across several industries. Nonetheless, the effective deployment of digital technology is inconsistent owing to several contributing variables. This review study seeks to identify and summarize the principal hurdles and facilitators influencing the adoption of digital technology. The report identifies significant obstacles, including substantial financial expenses, insufficient digital infrastructure, a deficiency in technical skills, opposition to organizational transformation, privacy and security issues, and inadequate policy support, based on an extensive literature assessment. Conversely, enablers of digital technology adoption are robust leadership commitment, user training and digital literacy, perceived utility and usability, technological preparedness, a supportive company culture, and facilitating government regulations and incentives. The research classifies these aspects into human, organizational, and environmental levels to offer a systematic comprehension of digital adoption dynamics. This study synthesizes data from previous studies, providing essential insights for policymakers, practitioners, and academics aiming to formulate effective solutions to address adoption issues.
