Abstract

ABSTRACTGreen information system (GIS) innovation plays an important role in corporate sustainability, especially for the organizations in emerging economies that face both economic and environmental pressures. To support Sustainable Development, employees need to work together on tasks using all kinds of GIS functions like online collaboration and electronic workflow. Most researchers examine GIS implementation and usage at either the organizational or individual level, but few have studied the phenomenon from the perspective of technology-enabled collaboration. This study investigates the motivation, effort and performance of collective GIS use at the operational level. In addition, strategic-level variables including GIS Strategy, Green Image and Competitive Advantage are included in the research model. Results based on survey observations collected from China and USA support hypothesized relationships and reveal interesting cross-country differences. GIS Strategy provides overarching guidance on GIS-enabled collaboration, which yields long-term effects on Green Image and Competitive Advantage. The findings provide helpful insights on the best practices to promote GIS-enabled collaboration for corporate sustainability in countries and regions at different development stages.
