Abstract

Researchers and practitioners widely view artificial intelligence-driven (AI) capabilities as the future of transforming organizations toward sustainability and making the world more sustainable. However, their crucial role and the specific mechanisms through which they influence organizational sustainability (OS) across three key dimensions—economic, environmental, and social performance—remain underexplored in the literature. To address this gap, this study adopting dynamic capability theory proposes a moderated mediation (MODMED) model that investigates the relationship between AI competencies OS sustainability and how this relationship is mediated by green human resource management (GHRM) and moderated by digital literacy. Using a sample of 310 Chinese firms, our results show the positive influence of AI capabilities on OS and the mediating role of GHRM. The MODMED analysis further reveals that digital literacy strengthens the indirect link between AI capabilities and OS via GHRM. This study offers fresh insights into how firms can effectively leverage AI capabilities, with the support of GHRM and digital literacy to drive OS.

人工智能驱动的能力如何以及何时促进组织的可持续性：数字素养和绿色人力资源管理的调节中介分析

研究人员和实践者普遍认为，人工智能驱动（AI）的能力是将组织转变为可持续发展和使世界更可持续发展的未来。然而，它们在三个关键维度（经济、环境和社会绩效）上影响组织可持续性（OS）的关键作用和具体机制，在文献中仍未得到充分探讨。为了解决这一差距，本研究采用动态能力理论提出了一个有调节的中介（MODMED）模型，该模型研究了人工智能能力与可持续性之间的关系，以及这种关系如何被绿色人力资源管理（GHRM）中介和数字素养调节。以310家中国企业为样本，我们的研究结果显示了人工智能能力对操作系统的正向影响以及GHRM的中介作用。MODMED分析进一步揭示，数字素养通过GHRM加强了人工智能能力与操作系统之间的间接联系。这项研究为企业如何在GHRM和数字素养的支持下有效利用人工智能能力来驱动操作系统提供了新的见解。
