Environmental sustainability: A technology acceptance perspective

Air and water pollution, resource depletion, soil erosion, consequent large-scale ecosystem changes the threat of global warming have resulted in stakeholders becoming more attuned to sustainability implications new technologies. Information systems are no exception. On one hand they can impact negatively on environment by consuming energy resources. other help manage save Given ever increasing growth utilisation information systems, it is topical than understand role play when comes sustainability. In this opinion paper, we identify discuss four areas related technology acceptance, most popular streams, that need be considered understanding environment. These include use predictors, task-technology impact, implementation issues knowledge gap, system lifetime long-term implications. We put forward a number examples contextualise propose ways which future acceptance research could developed focus impacts.
