摘要

本文通过计划行为理论考察了中小企业（SMEs）追求绿色态度（其特征是将环境目标纳入其战略规划）对其创业成长愿望（EGAs）的影响。我们的理论认为，拥抱“绿色”态度可以提高增长意图；然而，在具有更明显的绿色主观规范的制度背景下，绿色态度与环境影响评估之间的正相关关系被削弱。此外，企业创新对中小企业的企业成长愿望具有行为控制作用，企业创新对企业绿色态度与环境效益之间的关系具有正向中介作用。我们通过对39个经济体16074家中小企业的大样本调查得出的实证结果与我们的理论一致，并且经得起各种检验。

From green to growth: The effect of Go Green on entrepreneurial growth aspirations

This paper examines the effect of small- and medium-sized enterprises' (SMEs') pursuit of Go Green attitudes, characterized by the inclusion of environmental objectives in their strategic planning, on their entrepreneurial growth aspirations (EGAs) through the theory of planned behavior. We theorize that embracing Go Green attitudes can lead to heightened growth intentions; however, the positive relationship between Go Green attitudes and EGAs is weakened in institutional contexts that have more pronounced green subjective norms. Furthermore, the relationship between Go Green attitudes and EGAs is positively mediated by firm innovation, which serves as a behavioral control for SMEs' aspirations to grow their businesses. The empirical results we obtained from investigating a large sample of 16,074 SMEs in 39 economies are consistent with our theorization, and robust against various checks.
