Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of Smart Green IT adoption behavior. As opposed to IT adoption behavior, Smart Green IT adoption behavior has several distinct characteristics that are not typically found in general technologies. This study introduces self-determination theory to explain the causal relationship between users' motivations and Smart Green IT adoption behavior. The results show that eco-technological knowledge has a positive and significant impact on intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, and introjected regulation. Intrinsic motivation has a positive and significant effect on four extrinsic motivations. Although the direct effect of intrinsic motivation on attitude was not significant, it did exert an effect on attitude that was mediated by identified regulation and external regulation. Our findings also show that two extrinsic motivations were significant. Attitude toward Smart Green IT use behavior was the primary predictor of continuous intention to use Smart Green IT. The effects of social influence and external regulations on continuous intention to use Smart Green IT were also significant.
