<![CDATA[This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to examine fear-driven decision-making in cyber risk management and digital transformation within the banking sector. The review follows the PRISMA framework and analyzes 25 peer-reviewed journal articles selected from Scopus and Web of Science databases published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that fear operates as a latent psychological mechanism influencing strategic decision-making, particularly through risk amplification, regulatory pressure, and trust concerns. Fear-driven responses often lead to conservative strategies, delayed innovation, and excessive risk aversion, which may affect organizational resilience and governance effectiveness.
