Qualitative Interview Data on Digital Technology Adoption in Botswana's Construction SMEs

20 participants from Botswana's construction small and medium enterprises were recruited via purposive sampling for semi-structured interviews. The data, collected by Irina Zlotnikova and last updated in April 2026, was analyzed using thematic analysis in NVivo 15 software to examine factors influencing digital technology adoption.

Use Cases

• Modeling technology acceptance factors based on the UTAUT constructs identified in the study
• Analyzing barriers to digital adoption based on themes like cost, training, and resistance to change
• Developing targeted intervention frameworks for SMEs based on the contextual enablers and constraints described

Strengths

• Data is based on 20 interviews with participants possessing relevant experience in the domain
• Analysis employed a hybrid deductive-inductive approach using NVivo 15 software
• Dataset is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset is 17.4 KB, indicating a very limited textual scope, likely the study manuscript
