Abstract

This study examines the moderated mediation model grounded in the natural resource-based view (NRBV) theory, evaluating the influence of green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) on green competitive advantage (GCA) in Pakistani manufacturing firms. It emphasises the mediating role of green innovation (GI) and the conditional impact of green absorptive capacity (GAC). The study used hierarchical regression and moderated mediation analyses on a dataset consisting of 373 responses. The results reveal that GEO significantly influences GCA, with both radical and incremental GI (IGI) partially mediating this relationship. Moreover, the relationship between GEO, radical GI (RGI), and GCA is strengthened when GAC is high. The moderated mediating effects reveal that the mediating role of RGI is more pronounced when GAC is high. These findings provide valuable insights into enhancing green competitiveness by promoting eco-innovation in manufacturing companies and advancing green entrepreneurship research.

可持续转型：绿色创业、绿色创新和绿色吸收能力相互作用，重新定义绿色竞争优势

本研究以基于自然资源的观点（NRBV）理论为基础，研究了调节中介模型，评估了绿色创业导向（GEO）对巴基斯坦制造企业绿色竞争优势（GCA）的影响。它强调了绿色创新（GI）的中介作用和绿色吸收能力（GAC）的条件影响。该研究对由 373 个回答组成的数据集进行了分层回归和调节中介分析。结果表明，GEO 对 GCA 有重大影响，而激进型和增量型 GI（IGI）对这一关系起到了部分中介作用。此外，当 GAC 高时，GEO、激进 GI (RGI) 和 GCA 之间的关系会加强。调节中介效应显示，当 GAC 高时，RGI 的中介作用更加明显。这些发现为通过促进制造企业的生态创新来提高绿色竞争力以及推动绿色创业研究提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
