    (Makerere University Business School, 2025-11-14) Leeke, Samuel
    This study aimed to explore the relationship between technology factors, organizational factors, environmental factors, and the technology readiness of humanitarian organizations. A sample size of 165 humanitarian organizations in Kampala was targeted, and complete responses were received from 55 organizations, resulting in an 84.6% response rate. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The objectives were to assess the relationship between technology factors and technology readiness, examine the relationship between organizational factors and technology readiness, and determine the relationship between environmental factors and technology readiness. The findings highlighted the importance of contextual factors in shaping technology readiness. Based on the positive results from the regression analysis, several recommendations were made to enhance technology readiness in humanitarian organizations. These recommendations included focusing on contextual factors that include strengthening government support, addressing competitive pressure, fostering external partnerships, and engaging local communities. By paying attention to these recommendations, humanitarian organizations can enhance their technology readiness and effectively leverage digital cash-based assistance to support their missions and deliver aid more efficiently and effectively. This research contributes to the understanding of the factors influencing technology readiness in the humanitarian sector and provides practical insights for organizations seeking to improve their technological capabilities.
