Abstract

Over the past decade, research under the label of Green Information Systems (Green IS) has invested remarkable effort in examining and demonstrating the valuable role of Information Systems for environmental sustainability. Yet, so far Green IS scholars have largely neglected a more comprehensive perspective of sustainability covering not only the environmental but economic and social dimension as well. We consider this perspective relevant for research and practice as we demonstrate how these environmental initiatives might eventually lead to conflicting outcomes and negatively affect environmental user behaviour in the short and long-term. Therefore, we proffer an affordance-based framework explaining the relationship between Green IS affordances and conflicting sustainability outcomes. We further add to the current body of research by contributing a set of testable hypotheses and corresponding measurement constructs.
