Abstract

Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of green strategic alliances (GSAs) in fostering a green shared vision (GSVis) and green shared value (GSV) and their impact on green organizational identity (GOI) and sustainability. Design/methodology/approach The authors employed structural equation modeling to analyze data collected through a 60-item questionnaire administered in Portugal and China, allowing the authors to test their theoretical model. Findings The findings of the authors' study indicate that green strategic alliances have a positive influence on the development of a GSVis and GSV in both countries. This, in turn, contributes to improved sustainability and the establishment of a GOI. Furthermore, the authors' results demonstrate that these alliances enhance GSV, resulting in enhanced sustainability performance and a stronger green identity, with a notable increase in awareness of environmental and social practices. Originality/value This article is innovative as it applies organizational learning and value creation theories to gain a deeper understanding of how alliances can shape the green identity of companies and contribute to their overall sustainability.

绿色战略联盟的作用及其对绿色组织认同和可持续性的影响

本研究旨在探讨绿色战略联盟(GSAs)在促进绿色共同愿景(GSVis)和绿色共同价值(GSV)中的作用及其对绿色组织认同(GOI)和可持续性的影响。设计/方法/方法作者采用结构方程模型来分析通过在葡萄牙和中国进行的60项问卷调查收集的数据，使作者能够检验他们的理论模型。研究结果表明，绿色战略联盟对两国GSV和GSV的发展都有积极影响。这反过来又有助于提高可持续性和建立政府倡议。此外，研究结果表明，这些联盟增强了GSV，从而提高了可持续发展绩效和更强的绿色认同，显著提高了环境和社会实践的意识。原创性/价值本文的创新之处在于，它运用了组织学习和价值创造理论，更深入地了解了联盟如何塑造公司的绿色形象，并为其整体可持续性做出贡献。

期刊介绍： Benchmarking is big news for companies committed to total quality programmes. Its enthusiastic reception by many prominent business figures has created high levels of interest in a technique which promises big rewards for co-operating partners. Yet, like total quality itself, it must be understood in its proper context, and implemented single mindedly if it is to be effective - this journal helps companies to decide if benchmarking is right for them, and shows them how to go about it successfully.
