Persuasive User-Centric Green IS

Exploring the Role and Paving the Way of Information Systems to Induce Pro-Environmental Behavior Change

von Benjamin Brauer
This dissertation shows the potential of information systems to promote and invoke environmental
sustainable behavior. At first, an overview of existing approaches in research and practice is provided
in order to illustrate the status quo of user-centric environmental sustainable information systems
(Green IS). Furthermore, various applied theories from psychology as well as technological designprinciples
are revealed and analyzed regarding their suitability and effect in context of behavioral
change. Based on these findings recommendations for the design of user-centric Green IS are
deduced in order to achieve long-term behavior change. Moreover, an analysis of the acceptance of
such systems is performed. Alongside the presentation of the central findings for theory and practice
this thesis also contributes to an increase of people’s awareness of these systems regarding their
existence and potential. Also, this dissertation builds the foundation for future research in this young
research field of persuasive user-centric Green IS.
