摘要
本文旨在研究首席执行官(CEO)的信息技术(IT)背景是否会影响企业的持续绿色创新(CGI).设计/方法/途径本研究使用了2011-2019年中国上市企业的数据.研究结果统计结果显示,当企业聘用具有IT背景的CEO时,其CGI会更高。企业所有权、企业数字化和行业偏差会改变 CEO 的 IT 背景对企业 CGI 的影响。这种影响在非国有企业、高数字化企业和技术偏向型行业中最为明显,而在国有企业、低数字化企业和劳动力偏向型行业中则不明显。社会意义研究结果为激励可持续发展和绿色创新提供了新的策略。原创性/价值据作者所知,本研究首次讨论了首席执行官的信息技术背景与企业 CGI 之间的关联。研究结论丰富了高层理论和企业绿色创新文献。
CEO’s IT background and continuous green innovation of enterprises: evidence from China
Purpose
This paper aims to examine whether chief executive officer’s (CEO) information technology (IT) background can affect enterprises’ continuous green innovation (CGI).
Design/methodology/approach
This study uses the data of China’s listed enterprises from 2011 to 2019.
Findings
The statistical results reveal that when a company hires a CEO with an IT background, its CGI can be higher. Firm ownership, firm digitization and industry bias alter the impact of CEO’s IT background on firms’ CGI. This effect is most pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs), high-digitalized enterprises and skill-biased industries, while not in SOEs, low-digitalized enterprises and labor-biased industries.
Practical implications
This study has practical implications, as it measures CGI of enterprises. It also points to the necessity for a CEO’s IT background to enhance CGI.
Social implications
The findings provide new strategies for incentivizing sustainable development and green innovation.
Originality/value
To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to discuss the association between CEO’s IT background and enterprises’ CGI. The conclusions enrich both upper echelons theory and enterprise green innovation literature.
