Abstract

Drawing on the resource-based view, this study investigates the interactive effects of green information technologies/systems (IT/IS) adoption, environmental motivation, and IT–business strategic alignment on organizations’ perceived relative environmental performance. We use data from a field study of 587 firms in China to test our hypotheses. The results confirm that green IT/IS positively affects the perceived relative environmental performance of organizations and that the interaction of IT–business strategic alignment and environmental motivation positively moderates the relationship between green IT/IS adoption and organizations’ perceived relative environmental performance. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are also discussed.
