The type of research is qualitative-quantitative. Given that the purpose of this study is to investigate the barriers to the adoption of Industry 5.0 in supply chains; therefore, the research method is exploratory-applied in terms of purpose; cross-sectional in terms of data collection time; in terms of philosophical inductive-deductive; and in terms of data collection method or nature and research method, survey. In order to conduct the research, the review content analysis method and DEMATEL were used. The statistical population is manufacturing industry managers. 10 people were selected as a snowball. The research tool in this study is a researcher-made paired comparison questionnaire. The analysis tool is the DEMATEL technique, which has led to the creation of cause-and-effect relationships. The results of the study indicate that the components of lack of management support, lack of capabilities and organizational commitment, security concerns, risk in data ownership and data security, and lack of government support are, in order of absolute priority, influential. This study recommends launching small and pilot projects with direct management and support from managers to prove the role of technology and innovation in improving processes.
