Background: Blockchain technology, recognized for its decentralization, transparency, and security, is considered a potential means of enhancing transparency and operational efficiency in supply chain management. Despite its potential, blockchain applications in supply chain management face numerous challenges, including technical complexity, security issues, organizational change requirements, and the need for policy support. Methods: This study employs VOSviewer software to perform a visual analysis of the current applications of blockchain technology in supply chain management. By adopting a socio-technical perspective, it aims to clarify the intricate interactions between social and technical factors across various implementation pathways. Results: The analysis reveals that successful blockchain implementation requires more than just technological advancements; it also needs substantial support from social institutions, organizational governance, and policy frameworks. The complex interplay between these elements across different pathways highlights the critical role of socio-technical dynamics in blockchain adoption. Conclusions: This study innovatively combines a systematic literature review with socio-technical interaction analysis to identify the research hotspots and developmental trends in the adoption of blockchain technology in supply chain management. It explores how social and technical factors interact and influence these trends. This approach not only provides an empirical basis for identifying hotspots and trends in this field of research but also extends the application of socio-technical systems theory to the adoption of emerging technologies. It offers a more comprehensive perspective for understanding the evolutionary process of technology, both theoretically and practically.
