The findings indicated that Blau, I from Israel is the leading author, King Faisal University from Saudi Arabia is the most productive institution, “International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning” is the most productive journal, and “Investigating users’ perspectives on e-learning: An integration of TAM and IS success” is the highly cited article in target domain. Furthermore, the scientific mapping indicated that Saudi Arabia has highest co-author country collaboration. Finally, E-learning is the high co-occurred keyword because of collaborative research from MENA region for the subject. The study provides most productive author, institutions, journal, articles, country, and keyword in order to understand the literature for the impact of sustainable digital transformation on human learning and organizational development from MENA region.
