摘要

绿色创业在实现社会经济和环境目标方面的重要性在学术文献中得到了广泛的认可。然而,尽管有这样的认识,但影响绿色农业企业扩张和可持续性的内外部变量在文献中并没有得到深入的研究和探讨。本研究旨在测试理论绿色农业支持框架(GASF),提出内部和外部支持要素,当战略对齐时,促进绿色农业企业的成长,特别是那些利用与农业4.0相关的技术和工具的企业。为此,我们利用了来自巴基斯坦绿色企业管理者和员工的调查数据。采用结构方程建模(SEM)方法,结合偏最小二乘(PLS)方法,通过SmartPLS软件对收集到的数据进行分析。研究结果表明,外部变量(正式制度、政府支持、文化)对绿色企业的发展有显著影响,而内部因素(技术、人才管理)的影响有限。因此,政策制定者必须集中精力制定战略和措施,以改善组织的外部环境,即密集的政府支持,不那么僵化的正式制度及其政策,创业文化,以及国家整体经济状况的改善,并谨慎对待内部因素,如僵化和过时的技术和人才管理政策,可能会阻碍这些企业的发展。因此,本研究运用有机整合理论(OIT)的理论视角,为绿色农业创新型企业成长的各种内外部因素提供了显著影响因素的实证证据,为文献做出了贡献。对绿色决定因素的透彻理解有助于确定决策者需要关注的领域,以促进经济中绿色农业部门的有效增长,从而对绿色政策产生有价值的影响。

Toward sustainable smart agriculture in a developing country: An empirical analysis of green firms determinants

Toward sustainable smart agriculture in a developing country: An empirical analysis of green firms determinants

The significance of green entrepreneurship in achieving socioeconomic and environmental goals has received widespread recognition in academic literature. However, despite this acknowledgment, the internal and external variables influencing the expansion and sustainability of green agricultural enterprises have not been thoroughly studied and explored in the literature. This research aims to test the theoretical Green Agriculture Support Framework (GASF), suggesting internal and external support elements that, when strategically aligned, foster the growth of green agriculture enterprises, particularly those leveraging technologies and tools associated with Agriculture 4.0. To this end, we utilized survey data collected from managers and employees of green enterprises located in Pakistan. The collected data was analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method, incorporating the partial least squares (PLS) approach through SmartPLS software. The findings imply that external variables (formal Institutions, Government Support, Culture) have significant impacts on the development of green enterprises and that internal factors (Technology, Talent Management) have somewhat limited impacts. Consequently, policymakers must concentrate on creating strategies and measures to enhance the external environment of an organization, that is, intensive government support, less rigid formal institutions and their policies, entrepreneurial culture, and overall improved economic condition of the country, and be cautious about the internal factors like rigid and outdated technology and talent management policies, that may hinder the development of such enterprises. As a result, using the organismic integration theory (OIT) theoretical lens, this research contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the various internal and external factors that significantly affect the growth of innovative green agriculture enterprises. A thorough understanding of green determinants assists in identifying the areas that require attention of policymakers for the effective growth of the green agricultural sector in an economy, leading to valuable implications for green policies.
