Multidimensional scale for assessing the determinants of success of green information systems on organizational performance

Abstract

Environmental stewardship has become a relevant issue in the manufacturing industry, as the absence of environmental stewardship can cause irreparable havoc. This study aimed to develop a scale to assess green information systems, environmental strategies, and organizational performance in the manufacturing sector. 99 valid questionnaires were collected. The methodology used for the statistical treatment of the data was conducted by an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showing that the referent items are structured similarly to their theoretical antecedent, while a confirmatory analysis allowed statistical validation. The results indicate that the proposed scale proved to be adequate to measure the described phenomena despite being a little-explored topic, which could allow the development of a more concise guide when considering green technologies within strategic planning.
