Abstract

PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of perceived institutional force on environmental strategy, and the moderating role of institutional incompleteness.Design/methodology/approachThis study tests hypotheses employing hierarchical regression model based on a survey of 317 Chinese manufacturers.FindingsThe results reveal that perceived business and social force have positive impacts on symbolic environmental strategy. Perceived social force has a positive impact on substantive environmental strategy and a negative impact on greenwashing. Further analysis suggests that perceived social force has a stronger effect on substantive environmental strategy than perceived business force. Moreover, institutional incompleteness strengthens the impact of perceived business force on substantive environmental strategy, and the impact of perceived social force on symbolic and substantive environmental strategy.Originality/valueThis study establishes a framework integrating distinct types of perceived institutional force and environmental strategy and provides a new perspective on measuring greenwashing to extend environmental strategy literature.

将感知的制度力量与环境战略联系起来：制度不完全性的调节作用

目的探讨制度力量感知对环境战略的影响，以及制度不完备性的调节作用。本研究基于对317家中国制造企业的调查，采用层次回归模型对假设进行检验。结果表明，感知到的商业力量和社会力量对象征性环境战略具有正向影响。感知社会力量对实质性环境战略有积极影响，对“漂绿”有消极影响。进一步分析表明，感知到的社会力量比感知到的商业力量对实质性环境战略的影响更大。此外，制度不完备强化了商业力量感知对实质环境战略的影响，强化了社会力量感知对象征和实质环境战略的影响。原创性/价值本研究建立了一个整合不同类型的感知制度力量和环境战略的框架，并为衡量“漂绿”提供了一个新的视角，以扩展环境战略文献。
