Abstract

Reducing the level of carbon intensity – i.e., the level of carbon emission – is an important issue in cooperate IT management. Drawing upon the belief-action-outcome (BAO) framework, this study examines the impact of two different IT resources – i.e., on-premises IT (OPIT) and on-demand IT (ODIT) – on a firm’s carbon intensity. Also, we examine the moderating impact of green management strategies – i.e., environmental board oversight and environmental management incentives – on the effect of OPIT and ODIT on a firm’s carbon intensity. Using panel data with a sample of 3074 observations collected from 864 firms from 2016 to 2019, we find that OPIT usage is positively associated with carbon intensity, whereas ODIT usage is negatively associated with carbon intensity. In addition, we find that, while environmental board oversight mitigates the positive direct impact of OPIT on carbon intensity, environmental management incentives reinforce the negative direct impact of ODIT on carbon intensity.
