Abstract

The adoption of innovations in green technology by enterprises is a decision-making process that is subject to both external environmental pressures and internal factors. Using data from 4549 private companies in China, this study empirically analyzes the independent and joint effects of four forms of external environmental pressure and environmental commitment on green-process innovation and green-product innovation, respectively. The results show that the adoption of innovations in green technology by companies is affected by stakeholder pressure and does not change according to the type of green technology. The marginal effects of external environmental pressure on enterprises' innovations in green technology differ; this is reflected not only in the types of green technology innovation, but also in the types of pressure. Corporate environmental commitment positively moderates the relationship between external environmental pressure and green-process innovation and the relationship between government-led environmental regulation and green-product innovation. However, the relationships between the other three external environmental pressures and green-product innovation are not significant. This means that for different types of green technological innovation, there are variations in the extent of the synergy between external environmental pressures and corporate environmental commitment.

外部环境压力和企业环境承诺对绿色技术创新的协同影响

企业采用绿色技术创新是一个既受外部环境压力又受内部因素影响的决策过程。本研究利用中国4549家私营企业的数据，实证分析了四种形式的外部环境压力和环境承诺对绿色工艺创新和绿色产品创新的独立和联合影响。结果表明，企业对绿色技术创新的采用受到利益相关者压力的影响，并且不会随着绿色技术的类型而变化。外部环境压力对企业绿色技术创新的边际效应不同；这不仅体现在绿色技术创新的类型上，也体现在压力的类型上。企业环境承诺积极调节外部环境压力与绿色流程创新之间的关系，以及政府主导的环境监管与绿色产品创新之间的联系。然而，其他三种外部环境压力与绿色产品创新之间的关系并不显著。这意味着，对于不同类型的绿色技术创新，外部环境压力和企业环境承诺之间的协同程度存在差异。
