Abstract: Abstract Our study examines how the topic of sustainable value creation of Industry 4.0 employs the social-technical perspective. Sustainable value creation of Industry 4.0 is an emerging topic in the IS literature. The topic extends the IT value, a core topic of IS, focusing on the sustainable outcome of these leading-edge technologies adopted into the assembly line of manufacturing organisations called Industry 4.0. We conducted a meta-review of three systematic literature reviews of this topic from which we extracted 23 empirical case studies. We address this gap employing the socio-technical framework. The study revealed that the technical perspective in prominent in literature, but socio-technical perspective studies exist. We further propose research directions to make more socio-technical the discourse.
