Abstract
Answering Watson et al.(2010)’s call for IS researchers to address the environmental sustainable challenge, this article purposes to conduct an empirical study to examine the role of IT in enabling environmental management and enhancing environmental performance. Drawing upon Hart’s natural- resource-based view of the firm and literature on IT and environmental sustainability, we introduce the concept of IT- environmental integration as a synergistic capability and proposed a theoretical model to examine the relationships among IT capabilities and IT-environmental integration and environmental performance. Data from the survey on Chinese manufacturers verifies the mediating effect of IT-environmental integration on the relationship between IT capabilities and environmental performance. The moderating effect of environmental orientation is also verified on the impact of IT capabilities on IT-environmental integration. The present study, thus, advance our understanding of IT capabilities and their implications for firm environmental performance.
