摘要

注重环保的家族企业真的是更好的创新者吗？本文探讨了这一引人入胜的问题，并弥补了家族企业内部环境投资与创新之间联系的现有空白，同时考虑了合作广度的中介作用和家族管理的调节影响。通过对西班牙家族企业的 4836 个观测值的非平衡面板数据集进行调节中介分析，结果表明环境投资对创新有积极影响。合作广度完全调节了环境投资与创新之间的关系。此外，家族管理也加强了这种中介关系。也就是说，当企业技术管理团队中的家族成员人数较多时，以环保为重点的家族企业更有可能采用技术协作，从而最终改善创新成果。这项研究有助于理解家族企业的动态如何影响可持续性驱动的创新，为这一不断发展的领域的未来研究提供了宝贵的见解。

Greening the Path to Family Firm Innovation: Empirical Evidence From the Spanish Manufacturing Industry

Are environmentally focused family firms really better innovators? This paper addresses this intriguing question and bridges the existing gap on the link between environmental investment and innovation within family firms, considering the mediating role of collaboration breadth, and the moderating influence of family management. Applying a moderated mediation analysis to an unbalanced panel dataset of 4836 observations of Spanish family firms, the results show that environmental investment has a positive impact on innovation. Collaboration breadth fully mediates the relationship between environmental investment and innovation. Moreover, family management strengthens this mediating relationship. That is, the adoption of technological collaboration is more likely to occur in environmentally focused family firms when there is a higher number of family members in the firm's TMT, ultimately leading to improved innovation outcomes. This study contributes to understanding how family firm dynamics influence sustainability‐driven innovation, offering valuable insights for future research in this evolving field.

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
