Abstract

Entrepreneurship accelerates a country's economy due to its great contribution to community welfare. In the context of sustainability, green entrepreneurial behaviour is beneficial, since it reduces environmental causalities. Small businesses, however, are seen as culprits, causing damage to the environment. Rapid changes in business dynamics emphasize the need for sustainable entrepreneurship which ensures environmental and social sustainability. This study extends current body of knowledge by introducing transformative innovation as a mediator in light of the normative dimension in which entrepreneurs are actors responsible for bringing change to systems through collective behaviour. In a sample of Chinese manufacturing entrepreneurs, the study reveals that the knowledge management process and green entrepreneurial intention are positively linked to green entrepreneurial behaviour. It also shows that transformative innovation is positively related to green entrepreneurial behaviour. Finally, it confirms that transformative innovation is a significant mediator. The study provides guidance for policymakers establishing policies related to achieving green entrepreneurial behaviour using effective knowledge management processes and transformative innovation.

从变革性创新的角度看绿色创业意向、知识管理过程和绿色创业行为

由于创业对社会福利的巨大贡献，它能加速国家经济的发展。在可持续发展的背景下，绿色创业行为是有益的，因为它减少了对环境的影响。然而，小企业被视为对环境造成破坏的罪魁祸首。商业动态的快速变化强调了可持续创业的必要性，它能确保环境和社会的可持续发展。本研究从规范维度出发，引入变革性创新作为中介，从而扩展了现有的知识体系。本研究以中国制造业企业家为样本，揭示了知识管理过程和绿色创业意向与绿色创业行为之间的正相关关系。研究还表明，变革型创新与绿色创业行为呈正相关。最后，研究证实，变革性创新是一个重要的中介因素。本研究为政策制定者提供了指导，帮助他们制定相关政策，利用有效的知识管理流程和转型创新来实现绿色创业行为。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices. JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience. In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
