A Technology-Organization-Environment Perspective on Eco-effectiveness: A Meta-analysis

Abstract

In this research, we perform a meta-analysis to explain how organizations are deploying technologies to enforce organizational sustainability by meeting the goal of eco-effectiveness. Prior studies have studied the influences on the adoption of technologies using the TechnologyOrganisation-Environment (TOE) model that incorporate some aspects of technological, organizational or environmental factors. We collected prior research to test the factors of the TOE model to ascertain their relative impact and strength. Our meta-analysis found eight additional technological and organizational factors. We found strong support for IT infrastructure, perceived direct benefits, top management support, and competitive pressure. Moderate support for compatibility, technological readiness, perceived indirect benefits, knowledge (human resources), organizational size, attitudes towards innovation, learning culture, pressure from trade partners (industry characteristics) and regulatory support. Lastly, weak support was found for relative advantage, complexity, perceived risks and information learning culture. Only two dimensions, financial resources and environmental uncertainty failed to reach statistical significance.

“…1. Industry Characteristics Mechanical characteristics are the level of pressure perceived by the company from competitors in the industry [29], which consists of competitive pressure and trading partner pressure [26]. MSME competitive pressure arises when MSMEs desire to maintain the company's competitive advantage, thus forcing MSMEs to adopt new technologies as an alternative to the strategies they are currently using.…”
