Abstract

Although digital transformation has aroused the interest of scholars and practitioners, how to reach a win-win situation between economic and carbon performance in the context of carbon neutrality has not been well addressed. Based on organizational information processing theory, this study investigates how digital transformation affects economic and carbon performance via low-carbon operations management practices (LOMP) and the moderating role of CEO ambivalence. We test research hypotheses using hierarchical regression analysis by collecting data from 297 Chinese manufacturing firms. Our results reveal that all three dimensions of LOMP mediate the impact of digital transformation on carbon performance, and low-carbon products mediate the impact of digital transformation on economic performance. In addition, CEO ambivalence weakens the impacts of digital transformation on three dimensions of LOMP. The findings extend the digital transformation and LOMP literature and provide theoretical guidance for managers to achieve the goals of economic development and carbon reduction.

数字化转型对低碳运营管理实践和绩效的影响：CEO的矛盾心理重要吗？

尽管数字化转型已经引起了学者和从业者的兴趣，但如何在碳中和背景下实现经济与碳绩效的双赢并没有得到很好的解决。基于组织信息处理理论，本研究探讨了数字化转型如何通过低碳运营管理实践（LOMP）影响经济和碳绩效，以及CEO矛盾心理的调节作用。我们通过收集297家中国制造企业的数据，使用层次回归分析来检验研究假设。我们的研究结果表明，LOMP的所有三个维度都介导了数字化转型对碳绩效的影响，低碳产品介导了数字转型对经济绩效的影响。此外，CEO的矛盾心理削弱了数字化转型对LOMP三个维度的影响。研究结果扩展了数字化转型和LOMP文献，为管理者实现经济发展和碳减排目标提供了理论指导。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Production Research (IJPR), published since 1961, is a well-established, highly successful and leading journal reporting manufacturing, production and operations management research. IJPR is published 24 times a year and includes papers on innovation management, design of products, manufacturing processes, production and logistics systems. Production economics, the essential behaviour of production resources and systems as well as the complex decision problems that arise in design, management and control of production and logistics systems are considered. IJPR is a journal for researchers and professors in mechanical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, operations research and management science, and business. It is also an informative reference for industrial managers looking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their production systems.
