Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing the attitudes of software developers and IT professionals towards Green Information Technology (GIT) in Bangladeshi IT/software firms and examines their impact on engagement in green computing practices. Data was collected from 130 participants. A thorough literature review was conducted. The findings highlight key individual factors that influence employees’ attitudes, including awareness, knowledge, and perception of environmental issues. The study demonstrates the connection with GIT attitudes and behavior modification, especially through stated usage of green computing methods. Data analysis confirms 5 out of 8 hypotheses and reveals the complexity of the relationships between the constructs. The report promotes the adoption of Green IT technology by software companies in Bangladesh and highlights the significance of an organized office system integrating Green IT. Limitations include a relatively small sample size and the multidimensional nature of the relationships between the constructs. The findings can assist software companies in addressing customer concerns about the performance and functionality of green computing practices, ultimately promoting sustainable computing practices in the IT sector of Bangladesh.
