摘要

虽然环境压力作为生态创新的驱动因素在以往的文献中已经有了详细的阐述，但关于这些压力对生态创新行为的影响的实证结果仍然不一致。因此，本文旨在探讨环境压力，即监管压力、绿色需求和竞争压力对制造业中小企业生态创新的影响。此外，本文还考察了环境能力在环境压力-生态创新关系中的中介作用。设计/方法/方法采用在线自我报告问卷调查收集定量数据，以检验假设模型。对埃及制造业中小企业的管理人员和业主共收集有效问卷183份。使用Smart-PLS软件包的数据分析结果显示，在环境压力中，只有绿色需求对生态创新有直接影响。此外，环境能力仅中介竞争压力对生态创新的影响。原创性/价值本研究是解决生态创新驱动因素如何相互作用问题的少数研究之一。它还为中小企业的管理者和所有者以及政策制定者提供了实际意义。

Environmental pressures and eco-innovation in manufacturing SMEs: the mediating effect of environmental capabilities

Purpose Although environmental pressures have been covered in great detail in prior literature as the drivers of eco-innovation, there remains inconsistency in the empirical results concerning the effects of these pressures on eco-innovation behaviour. Hence, this paper aims to investigate the impact of environmental pressures, namely, regulatory pressure, green demand and competitive pressure, on eco-innovation among manufacturing SMEs. Moreover, it examined the mediating role of environmental capabilities on the environmental pressure–eco-innovation relationship. Design/methodology/approach Quantitative data were collected using an online self-reported questionnaire survey to test the hypothesised model. A total of 183 valid questionnaires were collected from managers and owners of manufacturing SMEs in Egypt. Findings The results of the data analysis using the Smart-PLS software package revealed that among environmental pressures, only green demand had a direct effect on eco-innovation. In addition, environmental capabilities only mediated the effect of competitive pressure on eco-innovation. Originality/value This study has been one of the few addressing the issue of how the drivers of eco-innovation interact. It has also provided the managers and owners of SMEs and policymakers with practical implications.
