: The authors declare that the research was conducted without any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

: This study, aligned with articles published in Humanities & Social Sciences Communications and similar surveys that preserve organizational anonymity without revealing sensitive data, was determined by the Research Ethics Committee of the International Business School of Fuzhou University of International Studies and Trade to be exempt from requiring ethical approval. Additionally, since the collected data on Digital Drive, Digital Adoption, and Digital Culture did not involve identifiable information, a written ethical endorsement from the academic institution was not necessary. Nonetheless, the confidentiality of individual respondents and their respective organizations was diligently upheld. Participation in the survey was voluntary, respondents could withdraw at any time, and no identifiable information was collected throughout the survey process.

: Before the study began, all participants were provided with their informed consent, confirming their voluntary involvement and understanding of the study’s aims, goals, and how their data would be used. They received comprehensive details about the study’s nature and objectives, and their agreement to participate was given freely, without any pressure or improper influence.
