| description | ‘Greening’ of business has gained attention across industries and academia. Green information
technology (IT) is a critical domain of green information systems (IS) as utilization of environmentally
sustainable information and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitates informed decision-making.
Green IT and IT for green are at the growth stage among developed countries and at the infancy
stage among developing countries. The absence of an established theoretical framework that anchors
present and future studies necessitates an examination of peer-reviewed journals and proceedings that
are published online. With reference to 10 organizational theories, this study presents an overview
of Green IT/IS applications and discusses noteworthy research questions that may guide forthcoming
empirical investigations to identify determinants or prospective outcomes of Green IT/IS. Frameworks
of a firm’s readiness to go green via eco-sustainable IT practices are discussed from diverse theoretical
viewpoints to ground implications, in pertinence to heterogeneous approaches towards the adoption
of Green IT/IS. The review also presents practical business opportunities to IT managers of socioeconomic-
oriented organizations. As journals and conference papers are the foremost source of reference,
emerging developments of this study may also appear in books and white papers. This article establishes
linkages between organizational theories and Green IT/IS implementations and presents suggestions on
further extensions for those who wish to investigate this field. |
