Abstract: 
Industry 5.0 (IR5.0) represents a shift beyond the efficiency-driven logics of Industry 4.0, emphasizing human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability. To support this transition, this study repositions the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework by systematically mapping recent adoption research (2021-2025) from Scopus and Web of Science. From 21 eligible studies, we extracted TOE factors and reclassified them into diagnostic centricities forming the basis for an enhanced TOE-IR5.0 framework. Results show a persistent tilt toward technological/organizational readiness, while sustainability and ethical enablers remain under-specified. High-frequency drivers (infrastructure, cyber-security, leadership, competence) indicate partial but incomplete IR5.0 alignment. We propose an enhanced TOE-IR5.0 framework that embeds human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability across technological, organizational, and environmental domains while clarifying where current scholarship still reflects IR4.0 logics. Most importantly, the framework introduces a diagnostic methodology-operationalizing IR5.0 values as transformative lenses applied to the TOE domains. This diagnostic orientation provides researchers, managers, and policymakers with a tool to systematically evaluate and realign technology-adoption strategies toward inclusive, resilient, and sustainable industrial transformation.
