Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors that influence the organization intention towards the use of green manufacturing technology in China. A green technology acceptance model with six factors is constructed. The model is preliminary tested using data gathered from 48 practitioners. Confirmatory factor analysis is used to validate the model, and structural equation modelling is used for data analysis. The acceptance of green manufacturing technology is influenced by the factors including facilitating conditions, social responsibility, and government policy; while others (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence) are insignificant in this case. This paper contributes to the knowledge by providing a green technology acceptance model that can be used as a foundation for future research.
