Abstract: This research examines green information communication technology (ICT) deployment for ecological protection in industries, by developing a research model. Accordingly, survey was employed targeting practitioners in industries and analysed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). Results from regression analysis reveal that the identified variables significantly influence green ICT deployment which improves ecological protection in industries. Moreover, results from multiple regressions moderating analysis indicate that the age of practitioners influence their intention towards deploying green ICT practice. Conversely, the gender, education and years of experience do not have any effects on practitioners' intention to deploy green ICT practice. Furthermore, results from partial correlation analysis suggest that annual revenue of the industry influence green ICT deployment, whereas, sector the industry belong to does not influence green ICT deployment. Respectively, findings from this study have implications that provide a roadmap for industries to include ecological related pedagogy in their industrial process.
