Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) use in the public sector has changed in recent decades. There is a growing demand for governments to expand their data processing and storage capabilities. Public services provided to citizens are being migrated from physical processes to digital ones. Thus, governments guided by digital technologies have emerged and the concept of e-Government standout. However, technological evolution must development aligned with current environmental concerns. Hereupon, the concept of Green IT has been highlighted in the scientific literature and in organizations/industries that seek the sustainable use of ICT. Thus, this study aims to identify the intersection point between the scientific literature on e-Government and Green IT to enable interdisciplinary research lines involving these subjects. To achieve the objective, first, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) techniques were applied to identify 102 studies. In a second step, techniques of Lexical Analysis and Content Analysis were applied to the textual corpus of the studies identified by the SLR. Third, we applied Zipf’s and Bradford’s bibliometrics laws to identify the main scientific journals and prolific authors. Our analyses suggest that e-Government and Green IT subjects have no associations in the literature studied. Each of the themes is discussed and analyzed differently, but they share similar theoretical underpinnings in the Information Systems field.
