Abstract

This study aims to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green innovation due to the fragmented and inconsistent findings in previous research. To achieve this, a meta-analysis is conducted on 29 peer-reviewed articles. The aim is to unravel the overall relationship between CSR and green innovation and identify potential factors that may influence this relationship, such as industry, data type, and region. The author’s results concluded that the robust relationship between CSR and green innovation remains consistent and strong, whether in manufacturing or other industries. Moreover, the outcomes indicate that research based on primary data demonstrates a more robust relationship between CSR and green innovation than secondary data studies. The findings also bring attention to regional differences in the relationship between CSR and green innovation, with studies conducted in North America displaying the most notable influence. This study represents the first-ever comprehensive meta-analytic investigation into the relationship between CSR and green innovation.

企业社会责任对绿色创新的影响：行业、数据类型和地区是否重要？一项荟萃分析研究

由于以往的研究结果零散且不一致，本研究旨在探讨企业社会责任（CSR）与绿色创新之间的关系。为此，我们对 29 篇同行评议文章进行了元分析。目的是揭示企业社会责任与绿色创新之间的整体关系，并找出可能影响这种关系的潜在因素，如行业、数据类型和地区。作者的研究结果得出结论，无论是在制造业还是其他行业，企业社会责任与绿色创新之间的稳健关系仍然是一致的、强有力的。此外，研究结果表明，与二手数据研究相比，基于一手数据的研究表明，企业社会责任与绿色创新之间的关系更为稳健。研究结果还使人们注意到企业社会责任与绿色创新之间关系的地区差异，其中在北美进行的研究显示出最显著的影响。本研究首次对企业社会责任与绿色创新之间的关系进行了全面的元分析调查。
