Analysis of green technology information from the perspective of individual’s socio-environmental awareness

Abstract

This study’s objective was to analyze the influence of Green IT practices associated with individuals’ perceptions regarding the conscious purchase, use, and post-use of technological equipment on minimizing IT environmental impact. An intervention instrument was applied among IT users. The model developed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) indicates that the practices: purchasing IT from “green manufacturers,” economic efficiency of technological use, and properly discarding technological equipment make individuals more aware of technology environmental impacts. This study’s main contribution concerns a scale to assess information technology sustainable actions from an individual perspective. The results can raise the scientific community’s interest in developing new studies from this perspective.
