Abstract

Grounded in the resource‐based view and dynamic capabilities theory, this study investigates the interplay between organizational readiness (OR), green knowledge management (GKM) and environmental organizational culture (EOC) in fostering green innovation (GI). This study uses data collected from 340 respondents across 159 UAE SMEs and employs a quantitative approach using partial least squares structural equation modeling and moderated mediation analysis. The findings revealed that OR significantly influenced both radical and incremental GI. Additionally, GKM mediates the relationship between OR and both GI types. EOC was found to strengthen the positive effect of GKM on radical GI but not on incremental GI. Furthermore, the conditional indirect effects show that the mediating effect of GKM on the relationship between OR and radical GI is more pronounced when EOC is high, whereas this effect does not hold for incremental GI. These results provide critical insights for practitioners and policymakers. Organizations are encouraged to enhance readiness, implement robust GKM practices and foster a strong environmental culture to drive sustainable innovation. This study contributes to the theoretical framework of RBV and dynamic capabilities by elucidating the interconnected roles of OR, GKM and EOC in driving GI.

组织准备向绿色创新的转变：绿色知识管理和环境文化的关键作用

基于资源基础理论和动态能力理论，本研究探讨了组织准备度、绿色知识管理和环境组织文化在促进绿色创新中的相互作用。本研究使用了来自159家阿联酋中小企业的340名受访者的数据，并采用了偏最小二乘结构方程建模和调节中介分析的定量方法。结果显示OR对根治性和渐进性GI均有显著影响。此外，GKM介导OR与两种GI类型之间的关系。研究发现，EOC增强了GKM对自由基GI的积极作用，但对增量GI没有作用。此外，条件间接效应表明，当EOC高时，GKM对OR和自由基GI之间关系的中介作用更为明显，而对于增量GI则不存在这种作用。这些结果为从业者和决策者提供了重要的见解。鼓励组织加强准备，实施健全的GKM实践，培养强大的环境文化，以推动可持续创新。本研究通过阐明OR、GKM和EOC在驱动GI中的相互关联作用，构建了RBV和动态能力的理论框架。

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.
