“…The evolution of society can be considered the most powerful and influential factor as it influences all aspects of culture, from the development of digital technologies to the ways organisations and working life is conducted, organised, and carried out. The development of different societies influences all individuals, including educators, students, and prospective educators [4]; Salavati et al, 2021). The primary constructs of SSM are Root definitions (RD) which are succinct descriptions of notional systems of human activity.…”

“…These models are then compared with the appreciation of the actual situation generated in the first stage, and the differences then form the subjects for debate about desirable and feasible changes. However, in this study, the SSM helps address the problems associated with educators' limited understanding and adoption of digital technologies only in the following ways [14][15] [16]. 1.…”

In the context of vocational education in Indonesia, integrating technology-enhanced learning (TEL) is becoming increasingly important to improve the quality of education and prepare students for the demands of the evolving labour market. Five key strategies can be implemented to address the challenges of TEL implementation. This study focuses on polytechnics acting as strategy owners in these endeavours, while environmental constraints included budget limitations, resistance to change and technical challenges, and using 4 of the first stages of SSM. Through the model, polytechnics in Indonesia can holistically address the complexities of TEL to improve vocational education. In integrating TEL, the roles of educators, stu-dents, IT departments, and government are key. In addition, it is important to overcome environmental constraints such as budget limitations and resistance to change to achieve success in TEL adoption and prepare students with relevant skills for the digital age. Thus, these strategies provide a comprehensive view of how to address the challenges and realize the potential of TEL in improving vocational education in Indonesia.

“…Soft systems methodology (SSM) represents a holistic approach that provides a framework for addressing problematic social and economic situations and managing real-world challenges. It was coined in the 1970s to acknowledge the entaglement and diversity of human systems and aims to understand and improve them through a participatory and iterative process (Checkland, 2010;Salavati et al, 2021). Some reseachers highlight the key principles of SSM that enable its successful application in tackling non-trivial challenges (Warren et al, 2019).…”

As the world faces major challenges related to the climate change and geopolitical hurdles, soft systems methodology (SSM) and institutional factors offer a complex approach that might be helpful in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and are therefore gaining an increasing popularity in the research literature. By embracing the principles of SSM within the realm of institutional economics, academics and decision-makers can navigate through the complexities of real-world problems and devise effective strategies for addressing them. Understanding the intricate relationship between SSM and institutional economics offers a unique lens through which organizational performance and sustainability can be enhanced. This synergy, when explored and applied judiciously, provides a comprehensive framework that addresses not only the technical aspects of an organization but also its socio-economic dimensions. In the empirical part of the paper, a bibliometric analysis is used based on the sample of 76 documents indexed in Web of Science (WoS) database between 1995 and 2023. The network cluster analysis using the text data and the bibliometric data is employed using the VOSViewer software for network analysis. The results show that as the economic and social processes are becoming more robust, SSM and institutional economics are currently returning to the spotlight of the academic research focused on topics such as organizational performance and sustainability as well as sustainable human capital efficiency.
