A Conceptual Framework for BYOD to Support Green Computing in Public Sector

摘要

The paper aims to understand and develop a conceptual framework of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to support green computing in public sector. The research focuses on literature in green computing, BYOD model, BYOD process, BYOD component and end-user segmentation to identify BYOD components for end-user profiling in public sector and green computing approaches. The results of the research suggest a conceptual framework to map the concept of BYOD as an approach to support green computing with six components of BYOD which are device choice, affordable, technical component, content, liability and sustainability. This framework considers that end-user profiling for public sector, BYOD process and green computing approaches are the main key for public sector to support green computing. This conceptual framework is an initial research for researchers and practitioners to further examine BYOD practices in public sector. The framework can be implemented based on different BYOD practices for public sector, to identify the suitable end-user profiling and the component of BYOD that support green computing.
