Abstract: In the recent years Green IS research aims to utilize information systems (IS) to influence people towards sustainable behavior change in a user-centric manner. Emerging pervasive technologies such as smartphones, wearables, and the diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices offer manifold innovative opportunities to address people and influence behavior. Lately, the design of persuasive IS became popular in IS research aiming to optimize the utilization of these new technologies to further improve the behavioral influence of people. While few implementations with the goal to foster environmental sustainability already show positive potentials – substantial limitations exist. A major shortcoming of existing user-centric Green IS studies is that these systems are primarily used in experimental settings. Thus, system use is predominantly mandatory. In this study we focus on the acceptance of user-centric persuasive Green IS and show the positive potentials of persuasive design principles on the acceptance of environmental sustainable IS.
