| description | This study investigates the implementation of green information technology (GIT) mechanisms within the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran (TPOI), emphasizing the increasing need for sustainable practices in the IT sector. The research explores the multidimensional aspects of GIT adoption, including environmental, economic, and social impacts. By employing a systemic approach and causal loop diagrams (CLD), the study identifies critical factors such as management budget, IT infrastructure, employee training, and compliance with environmental standards that influence GIT development. The data collection involved an extensive review of documentation, interviews with TPOI managers and experts, and surveys from employees. The findings highlight the complex interplay of various factors affecting the success of GIT implementation. For instance, the allocation of budget significantly impacts the ability to upgrade IT infrastructure and support employee training programs, both of which are crucial for advancing GIT. Additionally, the study found that adherence to environmental standards not only promotes sustainable practices but also enhances the organization's reputation and compliance with regulatory requirements. The research underscores the importance of a comprehensive, holistic approach in integrating green technologies within organizational settings. It provides a strategic framework that can guide other organizations in improving their environmental performance. The study's implications extend to environmental policy, offering a valuable reference for policymakers aiming to promote green IT initiatives across different sectors. The holistic understanding of GIT adoption presented in this research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainable development and highlights the potential for technology to drive environmental and economic benefits. |
