Abstract

Purpose

Despite the importance of green supply chain integration (GSCI) in advancing green innovation (GI) is recognized, it remains unclear how firms can translate their GSCI efforts into GI. Therefore, this study aims to understand how GSCI affects GI, with its dimensions (exploitative GI and exploratory GI), as well as to investigate the mediating role of green knowledge integration capability (GKIC) and the moderating role of blockchain technology (BCT) adoption.

Design/methodology/approach

On the basis of data collected from 247 managers working in Indian firms in the automotive industry, the authors tested the proposed model using the PROCESS macro tool via SPSS software.

Findings

The empirical results indicate that GSCI is positively associated with both exploitative and exploratory GI, with a higher effect on exploitative GI. In addition, GKIC mediates the link between GSCI and exploitative GI in contrast to exploratory GI. Notably, the relationship between GSCI and GKIC is stronger when BCT adoption is high.

Originality/value

This study opens the black box of how GSCI affects exploitative and exploratory GI by revealing the mediating role of GKIC and the moderating role of BCT adoption. It provides valuable insights for practitioners to translate GSCI efforts into GI through developing GKIC and adopting BCT.

绿色创新促进可持续发展：利用绿色知识整合、区块链技术和绿色供应链整合

目的尽管绿色供应链整合（GSCI）在推进绿色创新（GI）方面的重要性已得到认可，但企业如何将其 GSCI 努力转化为 GI 仍不清楚。因此，本研究旨在了解绿色供应链整合如何影响绿色创新，包括其维度（开发性绿色创新和探索性绿色创新），以及研究绿色知识整合能力（GKIC）的中介作用和区块链技术（BCT）应用的调节作用。研究结果实证结果表明，绿色知识集成能力（GSCI）与开发性和探索性绿色知识集成能力（GI）正相关，对开发性绿色知识集成能力（GI）的影响更大。此外，与探索性 GI 相比，GKIC 在 GSCI 与探索性 GI 之间起到了中介作用。值得注意的是，当采用 BCT 的程度较高时，GSCI 与 GKIC 之间的关系更强。原创性/价值这项研究通过揭示 GKIC 的中介作用和采用 BCT 的调节作用，打开了 GSCI 如何影响开发性和探索性 GI 的黑箱。它为从业人员通过开发 GKIC 和采用 BCT 将 GSCI 努力转化为 GI 提供了有价值的见解。
