Abstract

The emergence of Industry 5.0 brings a renewed focus on human-centred innovation and sustainable development. As industries transition beyond automation toward greater collaboration between humans and intelligent technologies, understanding their readiness becomes crucial. This study presents a systematic review examining key factors influencing Industrial 5.0 readiness, with particular attention to how cultural values shape sustainable practices. A total of 45 peer-reviewed articles published between 2018 and 2024 were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. The analysis identifies nine dominant constructs relevant to sustainability in Industry 5.0, including human-centric innovation, leadership vision, digital competence, and environmental commitment. In addition, cultural dimensions such as uncertainty avoidance, individualism versus collectivism, and long-term orientation significantly influence adoption levels across different regions. The review highlights that countries with strong cultural alignment toward innovation and environmental stewardship are better prepared for Industry 5.0 transformation. This paper contributes to both academic and practical discussions by offering a conceptual foundation for developing culturally adaptive guidelines to support a sustainable transition. The findings suggest that policymakers and industry leaders should integrate cultural insights into strategic planning for a sustainable and inclusive industrial transformation.
