Exploring affecting factors on Green IT adoption

近年來，「綠化」已經成為公司永續發展策略中非常重要的議題。許多跨國組織和國家紛紛開始制定且通過相關的政策以因應商業實務上的規範。如此之舉動更是吸引了業界單位的注意力。然而，現存的文獻中很少探討造成這些改變的原因，開發中國家的實例研究更是少之又少。有鑑於全球經濟體系下開發中國家的地位日趨重要，本研究以開發中國家-台灣為例，對導入綠色資訊科技之公司進行研究，探討影響公司導入綠色資訊科技之關鍵因素。 本研究以綠色資訊科技導入模型為基底，並以綠色資訊科技基礎(Green IT Groundwork)及綠色資訊科技準備度(Green IT Readiness)為研究框架，發展其中的各項構面並進行試驗。我們的研究模式中包含綠色資訊科技驅動力(Drivers)，其又可細分為經濟、規範、和道德層面。實證檢驗之結果指出政府支持(Government Support)對公司導入綠色資訊科技的確有顯著的影響。研究中也發展出具體的測量工具來衡量綠色資訊科技驅動力及政府支持。綠色資訊科技驅動力之影響在後面的章節將被提出討論。最後，我們將總結本研究提出之綠色資訊科技模式所帶來管理上之意涵和建議。Green has become a very important strategic issue for corporate sustainability in recent years. Many countries and worldwide organization have passed or set policy to regulate the business practice for compliance. Such move in deed has caused a great attention in the business community. However, there are few studies to examine the impacts caused by such changes. Even fewer studied found for the developing countries. Under the increasing presence of developing countries in worldwide economy, this study examines the key factors for those firms who adopt green IT in Taiwan. Based on Green ITAM, two constructs, Green IT Groundwork and Green IT Readiness are developed and tested. Within the model, drivers are included: economic, regulatory, and ethical drivers. The empirical testing results indicate that government support has a significant impact on firm’s adoption of Green IT. Specific measurement tools are also developed to measure the content of drivers as well as government support. The effects of such drivers are discussed. Finally, managerial implication and suggestion are concluded
