摘要
气候变化与环境问题是人类发展面临的重大挑战,作为有意义的创新范式下重要实践工具,绿色创新是实现可持续发展的重要途径。采用元分析研究,基于91篇实证研究、248 248个实证研究样本,从组织外部环境、组织资源和能力以及高管团队三个层面探究绿色创新的驱动因素,检验了绿色创新对财务绩效与环境绩效的影响,并分析了数据来源及样本国家的调节作用。研究发现:(1)组织外部环境、组织资源和能力以及高管团队层面的前因变量均与绿色创新有显著正相关关系,但关系强度存在差异,其中高管团队认知与绿色创新的相关性最强;(2)绿色创新与企业财务绩效和环境绩效有显著正相关关系,且对环境绩效的影响程度更大;(3)数据来源为一手数据时,绿色创新与相关变量的关系更显著,相关性更强,数据来源为二手数据时,绿色创新与相关变量相关性较低或不显著;(4)中国企业与非中国企业之间,其绿色创新与前因后果变量的关系存在明显不同,如中国企业的利益相关者和社会资本与绿色创新的相关性更强。
In the context of carbon peak,carbon neutrality,and high-quality development requirements,firms are under pressure of green transformation.Green innovation is an essential tool for green transformation.Through green innovation,firms can take more social responsibility,reduce environmental damage and achieve sustainable development while maintaining economic growth.Green innovation has the characteristics of high risk and slow return.Furthermore,both negative and positive externalities are linked with environmental degradation and knowledge spillover in the context of green innovation.Finally,there are doubts about whether green innovation can achieve a win-win situation regarding economic and environmental performance.Therefore,existing studies on the antecedent and consequence of green innovation have not reached consistent conclusions.The research on the antecedents,repercussions,and boundary conditions of corporate green innovation can better support meaningful green innovation activities by firms and realize economic,social,national strategic,and future values.This research examines the internal and external drivers of corporate green innovation at the levels of the external organizational environment,organizational resources and capabilities,and executive team,as well as the impact of green innovation on economic and environmental performance,to assist firms in establishing green orientation and better responding to current challenges and opportunities.This research explores the antecedent and consequence variables of green innovation using 248248 studies from 91 empirical research papers in English and Chinese as a meta-analysis sample.It analyzes the moderating role of data sources and sample countries.The results of the meta-analysis revealed that(1) environmental regulation(r=0.273),stakeholders(r=0.344),and environmental uncertainty(r=0.106) at the level of the organization's external environment,redundant resources(r=0.348),organizational culture(r=0.409),social capital(r=0.412),resource acquisition capacity(r=0.364),resource utilization capability(r=0.295),and RD capability(r=0.415),and executive team perception(r=0.457) at the executive team level are highly positively associated with corporate green innovation;(2) corporate green innovation is highly positively associated with financial performance(r=0.205) and environmental performance(r=0.613);(3) data sources and sample countries are highly correlated with innovation has a moderating effect on the relationship between innovation and antecedent and consequence variables.Based on the collation and summarization of existing empirical studies,this research draws the following conclusions:(1) it proves that factors at the level of the organization's external environment,organizational resources and capabilities,and the executive team can effectively promote corporate green innovation,but the executive team generates the most significant driving effect,which to a certain extent provides more theoretical basis for establishing a social green meaningful orientation and guiding firms to carry out meaningful innovation;(2) it proves that corporate green innovation can achieve the win-win goal of financial performance and environmental performance,which again emphasizes the vital role of green innovation in protecting the environment and achieving high-quality development;(3) it finds that there are differences in the effects of different data sources and sample countries on the relationship between green innovation and antecedent and consequence variables,which to a certain extent explains the inconsistent findings of existing studies and provides a specific theoretical basis for subsequent research.In addition,this research also defines the concept of green innovation and classifies green innovation at different levels.For future research on green innovation,this research has the following three suggestions:(1) pay attention to the influence of the executive team on green innovation.This research demonstrates the crucial driving role of the executive team level on green innovation.Still,the existing literature has only a few studies with the executive team as the entry point.Future research on green innovation drivers can be promoted by cutting more from the executive team level;(2) using methods such as machine learning to conduct more accurate analysis.This research finds that data sources affect the relationship between green innovation and antecedent and consequence variables.By optimizing data measurement methods and reducing the influence of data sources on research results,more convincing conclusions can be drawn to guide corporate green innovation practices better;(3) research on green innovation is conducted from different dimensions of green innovation.This research summarizes the green innovation concepts in the existing literature and finds that various studies focus on varying levels of green innovation and mainly focus on the green innovation behavior of firms.Therefore,future research from different levels of green innovation will benefit from exploring green innovation mechanisms more comprehensively.
