Abstract

Currently, Green Information Technology (IT) has become an active research field in the information system discipline. Green IT adoption is one of the most used approaches for organizations to handle the current environmental issues. In the Green IT adoption studies, decision makers’ intention to Green IT adoption have been ignored. While decision makers make decisions, few studies have considered this issue. The lack of a theoretical framework for Green IT adoption based on decision maker's intention in the organizations is considered as a main gap in the Green IT literature. In this regard, a research framework was developed through integrating two theories, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Norm Activation Theory (NAT). This study contributes to existing knowledge in the field of information systems, monitoring the decision maker's intention for the adoption of Green IT and sustainability through the development of a theoretical framework that identifies the key factors for the adoption of green information technology.
