“…"It's the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated subsystems efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment" [55]. Today's global business environment has increased the use of IT products and it tends to grow in the future due to the invention of new technologies, like mobile phones, social media, and cloud computing [16]. This growth prompts the positive and negative impact of IT in the organization.…”

“…Green IT is the study and practice of designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of IT products efficiently and effectively with minimal or no impact on the environment [15]. Green IT is now becoming organization standards, due to its effectiveness [16]. As the adoption of green IT as a sustainable practice creates a win-win situation for stakeholders of the organizations [17].…”

The Intention to Adopt Green IT Products in Pakistan: Driven by the Modified Theory of Consumption Values

et al. 2019

Over the last decades, prompt economic growth and the resulting overconsumption has deteriorated the environment in an accelerated way. This environmental deterioration has prompted academicians and practitioners to study ecological consumption behavior. E-waste and energy consumption play a major part in this environmental deterioration, which makes consumer conscious regarding their consumption pattern. In this regard, the emergence of green Information Technology (IT) enables individuals to become involved in environmental protection and sustainability programs to reduce the negative impact of IT products on the environment. This study aims to investigate individual intentions to adopt green IT products in Pakistan by the theoretical foundation of the theory of consumption values (functional value, social value, epistemic value, emotional value, and conditional value). Whereas, an additional value, i.e., the religious value, is included in the model, due to its significant impact in green consumption behavior of individuals. Cross-sectional data is used to obtain a total of 536 valid questionnaires to test the hypothesis. The Partial Least Square Modeling approach is used to test the proposed model (variance-based SEM). The results infer that functional value, social value, epistemic value, emotional value, conditional value, and religious value have significant positive impact on the consumer intention to adopt green IT products. The reasons for the results and implications for the practitioners are discussed. Furthermore, directions for future research have also been suggested.

“…With especially Green IS as a relatively novel, and practice-based topic [33], we took the small sample as sufficient for a descriptive analysis [17]. We consequently did not aim for statistical theory testing, or significance analysis, but chose to document and outline potential trends within our data.…”

“…While 87.3% (48) followed or introduced means to lower their energy consumption, 72.7% (40) already actively and regularly inspected their general energy consumption. For 60% (33), these energy saving means included the use of technical equipment, and for 58.2% (32) also the use of non-technical means. Moreover, 58.2% (32) of all sample companies used renewable energy, while 12.7% (7) planned to use such.…”

Organizations are increasingly challenged to digitally transform themselves, and to respond to calls for increased sustainability. While the adoption of sustainable innovations, such as Green information systems (Green IS), are one way to address both challenges, there are only few insights that provide nontechnology or company-specific insights into specific positive and negative Green IS outcomes. We address this shortcoming and shed light on Green IS adoption outcomes, as well as their interconnection to general sustainability initiatives in organizations. In a descriptive survey we find that many organizations already employ sustainability principles, but few incorporate Green IS. We confirm organizations almost exclusively report positive outcomes of Green IS usage, such as reduced resource consumption, increased compliance with regulations, and social acceptance. Based on these findings we suggest to especially further research the process of Green IS adoption.

“…Concerning the different capitalizations of GIT and GIS [5] and in the ongoing discourse about using them distinctively [6], interchangeability [7], and integratively [8], we agree with the latter, viewing GIT as "measures and initiatives which decrease the negative environmental impact of manufacturing, operations, and disposal of Information Technology (IT) equipment and infrastructure" [8], and GIS as "practices which determine the investment in, deployment, use and management of Information Systems (IS) in order to minimize the negative environmental impact of IS, business operations, and IS-enabled products and services" [8]. To address both GIT and GIS, we use GIT/GIS.…”

On Making a Difference: Towards an Integrative Framework for Green IT and Green IS Adoption

Organizations and society nowadays face significant challenges. Organizations are required to fundamentally digital transform by assimilating Information Technology (IT) and Information System (IS) assets. Society faces an increasingly severe global climate disruption and needs to become more environmentally friendly. Green IT (GIT) and Green IS (GIS), as technologies and initiatives that seek to reduce the negative impacts of IT/IS on the environment, are a response to this. They can help organizations to gain a competitive advantage while also addressing broadscale environmental issues. We undertake a literature review to frame the general GIT/GIS adoption process. We provide an overarching understanding by modeling a sequence of five cognitive adoption phases (outset, pre-adoption, adoption, post-adoption, and outcome) on four levels (environmental, societal, organizational, and individual). By recognizing that GIT/GIS adoption has multiple drivers and outcomes, we provide an extensive perspective on GIT/GIS adoption.
