Abstract
Green IT has been widely reviewed by technical and administrative areas. Green IT as green and sustainable practices are practices in designing, manufacturing, using and disposing of IT technologies in order to reduce the energy consumption, carbon emission and electronic waste. A major gap that exists in the Green IT literature today is the lack of a propose framework. Such framework is actually able to be used to assist policy maker, organization such as public and private sector and other researcher in order to support Malaysia’s pledge towards global carbon emission reduction by the year 2020. As IT industry is one of the sectors that recognized as a constituent player in supporting a sustainable development, this study attempts to bridge the gap by proposing the framework which focus on factors rendered Green IT adoption and process involved in Green IT adoption by the public sector and the private sector. In this study, the researcher depicts the major factors rendered Green IT adoption, which consists of technological, organizational, environmental, regulatory support, competitive pressure, business opportunity, responsible business ecosystem, and cost. Besides, the researcher illustrates the process involved in Green IT adoption, which consists of plan phase, design phase, implement phase, and measure of the performance phase. At the end of the study, the researcher determined which factors drive the adoption of Green IT in Malaysia and the list of activities included in each process between public and private sector. In order to achieve the research objectives, qualitative method was applied through semi-structured interview with 23 respondents by using open-ended questions as a guideline. Furthermore, in realizing the objective of the propose framework, five organizations were chosen that comes from public sector and private sector, which are Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water (KeTTHA), Unit Pemodenan Tadbiran dan Perancangan Pengurusan Malaysia (MAMPU), GreenTech Malaysia, International-Business-Machines Sdn Bhd, and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. Therefore, the researcher believed by using the proposed framework, Green IT will widely spread to nationwide of Malaysia that start from public sectors which can be applied by the other public sector and the producers which will be able to produce Green IT products with purely Green.
