Cloud computing offers so many advantages to the organizations such as availability, and cheaper cost. Many organizations are adopting cloud computing. However, the decision to adopt cloud computing is affected by several factors. Therefore, it is important to investigate the most common factors that affect the decision of organizations to adopt cloud computing. This systematic literature review helps to identify the main factors that affect the decision on adopting cloud computing by organizations. From our search in different databases such as ACM Digital Library, IEEE, SpringerLink, Scopus, etc., we select around 150 articles from the field of cloud computing and around 30 articles were qualified to be reviewed to help achieve the goal of this paper. For the purpose of this systematic literature review article, the criteria were set to select only the studies which followed the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework and were published from year 2014 to 2020. This review paper has identified the main factors and concerns that influence the decision to adopt cloud computing. Considering the importance of cloud computing, we encourage that future research to be on the awareness of organizations about cloud computing.
