Abstract

Scholars have identified various factors for adopting green IT by organizations from different perspectives. However, the studies about the priority of those factors and the interdependent relations among them are relatively lack. To address this problem, we use the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability (MOA) framework to establish a systematic model of the factors which drive firms’ green IT practices. Furthermore, an integrated Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach has been adopted to analyze the complex relations among different factors and determine the weight distribution of them. The results show that top managers supports, policy and regulation, institutional pressure and human resources are key factors driving firms’ green IT practices. This study provides the implications for organizations and policy makers to understand and develop strategies to implement green IT.
