Department of Computer Science, Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, NO-7491 Trondheim, Norway Abstract Purpose The aim of this research is to design a system deployment model that integrates case based- agent technique to develop an eco-responsibility decision support tool for Greening educational institutions towards environmental responsibility. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected by employing questionnaire from a statistical population that comprises of practitioners across educational institutions in Malaysia that implement Green practices to measure the feasibility of the developed tool based on factors derived from the literature. Accordingly, descriptive, exploratory, and factor analysis approach using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to test the feasibility of the developed tool. Findings Results from descriptive analysis confirms the tool is feasible based on mean values which ranges from 4.1619 to 3.6508 on a 5 point scale indicating that the tool is effective in sustaining educational institutions going Green. Besides, results from exploratory analysis verifies the reliability of the tool based on the acceptable Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient score higher than 0.7 and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value being above 0.5. Finally, results from factor analysis reveal that the developed tool is usable, efficient, helpful, flexible, credible, and supports educational institutions in going Green at 88.44 percent of the total variance. Research limitations/implications The sample population in this study comprises only practitioners in educational institution in Malaysia. Theoretically, this research provides feasibility factors and associated items that can be employed in evaluating developed information systems. Practical implications Practically, this study develops an eco-responsibility decision support tool to facilitate Green implementation that provides information on how practitioners in educational institutions can adopt Green practices. Social implications Technically, this study shows how case oriented agents aid educational institutions in going Green for environmental responsibility. Socially, this research provides the dimension or process for Green practice implementation in educational institution towards environmental responsibility. Originality/value The eco-responsibility decision support tool provides a web based platform for promoting ecological protection by supporting the measuring of practitioners’ current Green practices for environmental responsibility. Thus, research findings of this study are expected to help decision makers to generate useful insights into environmental friendly strategies to be implemented in educational institution. Lastly, the statistical tests employed in this paper can be employed in testing the feasibility of information system application in future.
