创新支点还是保守枷锁:绿色供应链管理实践如何撬动企业绩效?

Innovative Pivots or Conservative Shackles: How Can Green Supply Chain Management Practices Spur Corporate Performance?

现有研究表明,绿色供应链管理实践和绿色创新均对企业绩效产生显著影响,但缺乏对上述三者内部关系的深入阐释。本文基于知识基础观,从动态开放视角分别引入双元知识搜索和绿色社会资本两个变量,构建三阶调节中介效应模型,探究企业绿色供应链管理实践对绿色创新和企业绩效之间深层次的作用机制。研究结果显示:绿色供应链管理实践撬动企业绩效增长的关键在于绿色创新在两者之间发挥中介作用;同时依赖于双元知识搜索对该中介作用的调节效应,且上述双元知识搜索的调节效应受绿色社会资本的再次正向调节。本文从理论上延伸了绿色供应链管理研究范畴;从实践上为企业从绿色供应链管理实践中获益提供借鉴和指导。

Although previous studies have found that both green supply chain management practices and green innovationcan impact firms’ performance, and few have examined the internal mechanism of green innovation between the green supply chain management practices and firms’ performance. Based on the knowledge-based view, a three-order moderated mediation model is constructed in this research by introducing the variables of ambidextrous knowledge search and green social capital to explore the deep-seated mechanism of green supply chain management practices on green innovation and firms’ performance.The results show that firms’ performance can be significantly improved by green supply chain management practices, and green innovation plays a mediation role in the above relationship. Moreover, the mediating effect is further positively moderated by ambidextrous knowledge search, and green social capital positively moderates the moderating impact of ambidextrous knowledge search on the relationship between green supply chain management practices and green innovation. Overall, this study not only deepens the theoretical research of green supply chain management but also provides practical implications for firms to benefit from green supply chain management practices and green innovation.
