Abstract

An effective methodology to protect our environment from hazardous material and its effects that come from computer resources to sustain our environment and expenditure costs reduction associated with environmental resources misuse are termed Green computing. In this research document, the researcher focuses more on investigating awareness on Green computing practices while combating Covid-19 at Institute of Health Science-Gaborone. Computing is crucial in this time of Covid-19 no modern business organization can excellently perform its operations without the use of computing. That is why it is now a necessity and mandatory to have organization aware of the negative impacts brought by computing on the environment and technologies initiated to help mitigate the situation. Green computing practices are mostly influenced by human knowledge, behavior and attitude. The study investigated different literature review on awareness of green computing practices with the assistance of several theoretical models such as Technology Acceptance Model which was utilized to present an economical explanation to the components that define the adaptation, which is generally applicable to many utilizing behavior from different computing innovations. The model provided a diagram to ...
