Abstract

In their efforts to combat climate change, some firms choose to develop environmental innovations. Given that environmental innovation strategies fall into the politically sensitive area of climate change protection, we theorize that CEO political ideological divergence can substantially impact the chosen strategy. Drawing on threat response theory, we find that CEO ideological divergence from a Republican president negatively affects environmental innovation intensity, while ideological divergence from a Democratic president positively affects it. Moreover, increased communication of sustainability orientation weakens this studied impact. We utilized a longitudinal data set of S&P 500 CEOs (2010–2018) with 916 firm-year observations and 188 unique firms, to present theoretical and managerial implications for environmental innovation, CEO political ideology, and threat response theory.
不敢行动?首席执行官的政治理念分歧如何影响环境创新
在应对气候变化的过程中,一些企业选择开发环境创新。鉴于环境创新战略属于气候变化保护这一政治敏感领域,我们推断首席执行官的政治意识形态分歧会对所选战略产生重大影响。借鉴威胁反应理论,我们发现首席执行官与共和党总统的意识形态分歧会对环境创新强度产生负面影响,而与民主党总统的意识形态分歧则会对环境创新强度产生正面影响。此外,增加可持续发展导向的沟通会削弱这种影响。我们利用 S&P 500 公司 CEO 的纵向数据集(2010-2018 年),其中包含 916 个公司年观测值和 188 个独特的公司,提出了环境创新、CEO 政治意识形态和威胁反应理论的理论和管理意义。
