Abstract:

Empirical investigations of the factors influencing blockchain adoption by higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia are rare. This study aimed to partially fill this knowledge gap by focusing on barriers to blockchain adoption. The results from a survey of 289 academic and IT professionals in the Saudi higher education system confirmed the negative effects of privacy and security concerns, the association of blockchain with finance only, and language concerns on blockchain adoption. At the same time, the impact of the lack of knowledge was not observed. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.
