There have been various published papers that discuss the feasibility of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data Technology Utilization. But in most cases, reviewing these articles end with an establishing research gaps that allows for further research. An imperative aspect of this paper is to find out research gaps in various published papers through a critical review and place it under a new perspective. The review uses the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), and uses the three databases (Science Direct, Google Scholars and Scopus) from January 2010 to December 2020. The database and timeframe are preferred because the collected articles have passed the comprehensive resources of research report data, quality control process and analysis. As many as 312 articles were reduced to 21 articles to meet the criteria of this research. A total of sixteen (16) papers were critically reviewed in which five (5) were from areas of students’ management, four (4) from areas of construction management, three (3) from waste management area and four (4) from transport and aviation management area. In addition, based on the thematic analysis, another sub-theme emerged from these key reviews to match the use of RFID data (Internet of Things) and this has led to the development of a systematic and sustained study on it. However, findings from critical literature review reveals that research gaps existed in all the papers that discuss the feasibility of RFID data utilization.
