Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 14A Curriculum on Sustainable Information Communication Technology(Politechnika Lubelska, 2015) Ozkan, Baris; Mishra, Alok; Information Systems Engineering; Software EngineeringEconomies are increasingly becoming dependent on Information Communication Technology (ICT) and concerns over sustainability have called for the investigation of the relation between sustainability and ICT. While the majority of the studies in this field have an environmentalist focus in this regard, technical, economical and societal concerns on sustainability have arisen in the last decade. Today, more and more studies are addressing the need for the inclusion of sustainability as a design goal for ICT development and for the systems that rely on ICT. Therefore, the integration of education on sustainability in the curriculum is imperative for current and future generations of professionals to accomplish this goal. In this paper, we propose a curriculum for sustainable ICT along with the expected learning outcomes and components. The course design is based on a multi-faceted approach that embraces different viewpoints on sustainability and aims to increase students' awareness of the complex nature of sustainability.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 28Green Information Technology Practices Among It Professionals: Theory of Planned Behavior Perspective(Politechnika Lubelska, 2014) Akman, Ibrahim; Akman, Kamil İbrahim; Mishra, Alok; Mıshra, Alok; Akman, Kamil İbrahim; Mıshra, Alok; Software Engineering; Software Engineering; Computer Engineering; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering; Computer EngineeringAccording to the existing literature, the determinants of environmental attitudes and behavior are important. In this paper impact of information technology adoption environment has been investigated. Some of the studies have successfully utilized Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) for adoption behavior. This study proposed TPB to explain IT professionals' intentions for Green Information Technology (GIT) practices. For this purpose, a survey was conducted among IT professionals from public and private sector organizations. Core factors of TPB were included in the analysis. Overall, results revealed that the TPB model explains behavioral intent, and all four core constructs were significant predictors of the intent. Limitations of the study, and implications for theory are also discussed.
