dc.description.abstractIn recent decades, environmental sustainability had become a hot topic being discussed by academicians and practitioners. The increase of environmental problems such as pollution, global warming, scarcity of foods, depletion of natural resources and solid waste had drawn attention from governments sector, communities as well as business organizations. Hence, going green is the latest approach that emphasized. Green Information Technology (IT) is part of the effort by business organizations to be green. This study aims to investigate factors influencing green IT adoption by manufacturing firms in Penang, Malaysia. Based on the Technology-Organisational-Environment theoretical model and related literature, a research model was developed to test the hypotheses proposed. In attaining the study objectives, a quantitative approach was used by distributing survey questionnaire to randomly sampled manufacturing firms in Penang state. The collected data is then tested with SmartPLS version 2.0.M3. The outcomes indicated that there is a significant and positive relationship exists between technological, organizational and environmental factors and green IT adoption. However, there is no significant moderating effect found on the organizations size to the relationship between the three factors and green IT adoption. The findings from this study serve as guideline for top management among manufacturing firms in Penang to uncover the various dimensions involved in IT adoption and understand factors that motivate organizations to invest in green IT. This study is also useful for researchers to further investigate on other drivers, values and antecedents of green IT. Lastly, this study concluded with some limitations and recommendations for future research.en_US
