Green Information Technology (Green IT) emerged as a critical research agenda for reducing organizations' carbon footprints to achieve environmental sustainability. This paper aims to understand the factors that affect the adoption of Green Information Technology in the context of a developing country. Studies that have focused on both individual and organizational level factors (multi‐level approach) remain limited. The Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), and Technology‐Organization‐Environment (TOE) framework was used as a theoretical lens to address the gap in the literature. The theoretical background and participatory case study (qualitative) as the methodology was used to investigate the factors at multiple levels that could affect Green IT implementation in the developing country context (Indian business school). The findings reveal that three key dimensions affect the implementation of Green IT‐ Need, Scope, and the Inclination to adopt Green IT. Each dimension includes a mix of factors at the individual and organizational levels. This paper contributes to the theory by proposing a framework for multi‐level Green IT adoption. It also provides guidelines to the practitioners for considering the intervention factors at the individual and organizational levels.

“…Unlike traditional non-green technologies, green technology is a technology that conserves resources and energy consumption while reducing environmental pollution [7][8][9]. Because of its significant advantages, green technology is widely used in energy, construction, information and other fields, such as green energy technology, green building technology, and green information technology [10][11][12][13]. In addition, the cost of green technology will decrease over time [14][15].…”

Priority needs to be given to the green technology of saving resources, saving energy and reducing pollution by enterprises in the new era where green development needs promotion because humans and nature are the community of life. In essence, green technology is the innovation-driven development of enterprises under the background of green development. In order to sort out the research trend of Chinese scholars on green technology, 206 articles published during the period of 1994 to 2017 and their citations mainly from the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index database were studied by means of bibliometrics and mapping knowledge domains, which reveals the trend of a number of Chinese green technology research papers published, the evolution path of the hot research topics, the research frontier and the knowledge base, drawing inspiration from them. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) The number of Chinese scholars' research on green technology shows an N-type upward trend and will continue to rise in the future. 2) Green technology, technological innovation and environmental protection have long been research hotspots of China's green technology research. 3) The frontiers of green technology research in China can be divided into three stages for germination (1994 to 2010), rapid growth (2010 to 2014)and depth advancement (2015 to present. 4) The knowledge base of green technology research in China is mainly composed of efficiency, the relationship between the environment and economics, green technological innovation, environmental regulation and intellectual property.

“…ITG it is defined an important part of corporate governance, it is involved in leadership and organizational structures to ensure that an organization's IT sustains and extends its strategies and objectives [Joshi et al, 2018]. ITG not only encourages desirable behavior in the use of information technology (IT) and has the capabilities to get the business operations aligned with IT [Kude et al, 2017;Hardin-Ramanan et al, 2018], it also defines the roles and responsibilities within information systems (IS) and related technologies to manage and support an organization's functions [Higgins, Sinclair, 2008]. ITG's purpose is to direct and manage IT initiatives to ensure that organization performance meets the goals established by management [Selig, 2018].…”

T he pace of information technology evolution calls for governance. Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies (COBIT) is the main framework for information technology governance (ITG) and defines the concept of IT governance enablers as a critical step for any governance decision or path. This investigation aims to clarify the enablers defined by COBIT to help organizations manage their information technology. Clarity on the meaning of enabler is still lacking in the literature. Enablers are somewhat described in COBIT, but space is left for confusion and contradictions among researchers and practitioners. The research question to be answered by this investigation concerns the definition for each enabler and
