Survey instrument had 29 items adapted from existing scales. Data was collected using Mturk’s panel of respondents on online Qualtrics.

Findings: This study provides empirical evidence to add ecological beliefs as a key predictor of green IS adoption models. Findings demonstrate that attitudes and ecological beliefs play an essential role in conference app adoption, in comparison with performance expectations, social impacts, and facilitation conditions, as presented in the traditional technology acceptance literature.
