Purpose

Blockchain is a technical solution integrating multiple technologies, with the potential to overcome the drawbacks of organizational governance. Given the emergence and prevalence of blockchain, its importance for organizational governance has progressively increased. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how blockchain restructure organizational governance.

Design/methodology/approach

This study presents a structured systematic literature review of blockchain-enabled applications across diverse organizational governance models and several case studies to illustrate them. Based on the above analysis, governance mechanisms, transaction upgrading and challenges are proposed.

Findings

Based on the literature review and typical applications, the authors summarize the advances in the research on the theoretical and practical applications of blockchain in organizational governance. We also identify the influence mechanisms of organizational governance and investigate transaction upgrading based on blockchain. Finally, the authors discuss three types of challenges (i.e. administrative, technical and environmental) to the relationship between blockchain and organizational governance. Along with the development of blockchain applications, the impact of blockchain on organizational governance has progressed in both theory and practice. Therefore, these findings will have significant implications for both academics and practitioners.

Originality/value

This paper makes three key theoretical contributions: we review the literature on the impact of blockchain on organizational governance and present typical cases to illustrate it; propose four governance mechanisms for the application of blockchain in organizational governance; and propose an innovating-and-matching-oriented model of transaction upgrading based on blockchain.

智能时代的组织治理：区块链的启示

目的

区块链是一种集成多种技术的技术解决方案，具有克服组织治理弊端的潜力。鉴于区块链的出现和流行，其对组织治理的重要性逐渐增加。因此，本研究旨在分析区块链如何重构组织治理。

设计/方法/途径

本研究提出了跨不同组织治理模型的支持区块链的应用程序的结构化系统文献综述和几个案例研究来说明它们。基于以上分析，提出了治理机制、交易升级和挑战。

发现

基于文献综述和典型应用，作者总结了区块链在组织治理中的理论和实践应用研究进展。我们还确定了组织治理的影响机制，并研究了基于区块链的交易升级。最后，作者讨论了区块链与组织治理之间关系的三种挑战（即行政、技术和环境）。随着区块链应用的发展，区块链对组织治理的影响在理论和实践上都取得了进展。因此，这些发现将对学术界和从业者产生重大影响。

原创性/价值

本文做出了三个关键的理论贡献：我们回顾了关于区块链对组织治理影响的文献，并提出了典型案例来说明它；提出区块链在组织治理中应用的四种治理机制；并提出基于区块链的创新匹配型交易升级模型。
