Abstract

Business executives and scholars are increasingly interested in learning how corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and firm success are related. However, prior research in this field requires consistent and contradictory findings. This study fills this gap by suggesting and verifying a moderated mediation theory that better explains the association between CER and company performance by considering organizational slack and strategy similarity. From 2015 to 2017, 260 listed Chinese companies provided the data for this study, yielding 780 firm-year observations. According to the multivariate analysis findings, the association between CER and company effectiveness is mediated by strategic similarity. The relation between CER and strategic identity and the direct effect of CER on organizational value via strategic similarity are both moderated by organizational slack. These findings imply that CER efforts and pursuing strategic similarities are crucial for coping with stakeholder pressure and being competitive in the market. They offer useful insights for corporate managers looking to make educated decisions regarding CER.

探讨企业环境管理责任对企业绩效的影响

企业高管和学者对企业环境责任(CER)与企业成功之间的关系越来越感兴趣。然而，在这一领域的先前研究需要一致和矛盾的发现。本研究通过提出和验证一个有调节的中介理论来填补这一空白，该理论通过考虑组织松弛和战略相似性来更好地解释CER与公司绩效之间的关系。从2015年到2017年，260家中国上市公司为本研究提供了数据，得出780家公司年观察结果。多变量分析发现，企业绩效与公司绩效之间的关系是由战略相似性中介的。企业绩效评估与企业战略认同之间的关系以及企业绩效评估通过企业战略相似性对企业价值的直接影响均受企业懈怠的调节。这些发现表明，CER努力和追求战略相似性对于应对利益相关者压力和在市场中保持竞争力至关重要。它们为希望在CER方面做出明智决策的企业管理者提供了有用的见解。

期刊介绍： Supply chain management (SCM) plays an essential role in managing the movement of raw materials into an organization, certain issues of the internal processing of materials into finished goods, and the movement of finished products out of the organization for end-consumer delivery. The goal of SCM is to improve trust and collaboration among supply chain partners and to improve inventory visibility. However, many SCM problems deal with uncertain events such as uncertainty in demand, supply, quality, price, etc. This forum is dedicated to all scholars who wish to share their ideas about uncertainty in SCM problems. Uncertain supply chain management is a quarterly publication dedicated to all scientists in all over the world who wish to share their experiences and knowledge in this field. Our policy is to perform a peer review on all submitted articles and publishes original and high quality articles.
