Abstract

This study investigates the role of green strategic intent in facilitating the adoption of circular economy practices within public sector organizations. Using the dynamic capability view, we proposed that green strategic intent leads to circular economy practices. We also proposed that artificial intelligence (AI) capability and green learning ambidexterity act as significant underlying mechanisms and leader boundary-spanning behavior as a moderator. Data were collected from 228 managers of various public sector departments in United Arab Emirates (UAE) using a time-lagged design. Our results supported that there is a positive relationship between green strategic intent and circular economy practices. Further, green strategic intent positively influences circular economy practices through AI capability and green learning ambidexterity that act as serial mediators of the green strategic intent-circular economy practices link. Finally, leader boundary-spanning behavior significantly moderates the effects of green strategic intent on AI capability. Our findings offer important insights that can enable public sector organizations to implement circular economy practices.

公共部门实现循环经济目标的绿色战略意图、人工智能能力和行为动态

本研究探讨了绿色战略意图在促进公共部门组织采用循环经济实践中的作用。运用动态能力观点，提出绿色战略意图引导循环经济实践。人工智能（AI）能力和绿色学习双灵巧性是重要的潜在机制，领导者跨界行为是调节因素。数据是从阿拉伯联合酋长国（UAE）各公共部门的228名管理人员中收集的，采用了滞后设计。我们的研究结果支持绿色战略意图与循环经济实践之间存在正相关关系。此外，绿色战略意图通过人工智能能力和绿色学习双元性对循环经济实践产生积极影响，它们是绿色战略意图与循环经济实践联系的串行中介。最后，领导者跨界行为显著调节了绿色战略意图对人工智能能力的影响。我们的发现提供了重要的见解，可以使公共部门组织实施循环经济实践。
