A questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool after being reviewed by a panel of expert professors. Statistical software programs such as SPSS version 25 and AMOS were employed, Furthermore, a range of statistical and mathematical methods were used to facilitate the analysis and the achievement of results in the fieldwork.

The research reached a number of conclusions, most notably, that technological readiness has a clear and positive impact on continuous improvement. It has contributed to raising the level of innovation and optimism, fostering security and comfort in the workplace, and facilitating interaction with and engagement with modern technologies, all of which support continuous improvement, A set of recommendations was presented, including strengthening specialized training programs on the use of complex technologies and offering workshops and guidance sessions that focus on the psychological and behavioral dimensions of employees, such as optimism, innovation, and adaptability.
