“…With the required green expertise, team members might exert relevant knowledge to solve a domainspecific green task challenge (Sasidharan, 2018). However, by employing green creativity skills, team members may efficiently utilise prior green expertise in distinct ways to address a specific complex challenge, effectively manage projects and save time and resources (Gube & Lajoie, 2020;Wang et al, 2019). In this regard, green creativity skills could help team members amplify their respective green expertise implementation via extensive exploration of several novel cognitive pathways stemming from prior experience or knowledge (Gube & Lajoie, 2020).…”

Radical technological advancements and the relentless progression of climate change compel organisations to ensure their workforce consistently exercise their creativity toward innovative green initiatives. These endeavours are essential to achieve the United Nations' (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). To do so, organisations require competencies fundamental to smart technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics and algorithms (STARA). STARA competencies are relevant for leaders to bolster green organisational innovative evidence (GOIE). GOIE can help to attract potential investors keen on advancing the UN's SDG agenda on environmental sustainability. However, eclipsed by a volatile environment, and despite the green innovation potential of several manufacturing organisations, investors are reluctant to invest and commit funds without evidence of green innovation. We therefore, investigate how leader STARA competence (LSC), green creativity components (task motivation, creativity skills and expertise) and environmental dynamism can aid organisations to boost their GOIE. Our key findings are as follows: (a) though green task motivation shows a stronger association with green creativity skills, LSC has a large influence on green creativity skills; (b) green creativity skills exert a strong influence on GOIE while also playing a competitive and complimentary mediating role in our model and (c) environmental dynamism is negatively associated with green creativity skills and GOIE. Furthermore, to validate indirect (v) effects size in mediation analysis, we propose a new and more approachable benchmark for v effect size estimations.Organisational and environmental policy implications are discussed.

“…The construct validity was assessed by conducting the exploratory factor analysis with maximum variance rotation. The results indicated that five factors with eigenvalues above 1 were extracted, and the factor loadings were greater than 0.60, demonstrating acceptable construct validity (Wang et al, 2020a). Moreover, we applied a confirmatory factor analysis to EJIM 24,4 assess construct validity.…”

“…That is, for firms with high GAC, they are better at developing and improving GKIC by LEL, further promoting GI. (Arfi et al, 2018;Cainelli et al, 2015;Du et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2020a), collaboration with supply chain partners (Zhao et al, 2018;Melander, 2018;Ardito et al, 2019) and relationship learning (Albort-Morant et al, 2016Leal-Mill an et al, 2016) can promote GI. Interestingly, we find that the influence of VEL on GI is greater than LEL.…”

“…Since GI is complex and sophisticated (Cainelli et al, 2015), firms need many knowledgerelated resources and capacities to achieve it (De Marchi and Grandinetti, 2013;Cainelli et al, 2015). Previous studies found that external knowledge search, external involvement, external integration, green learning orientation and networks can affect GI (Delgado-Ceballos et al, 2012;Dangelico et al, 2013;Cainelli et al, 2015;Ghisetti et al, 2015;Arfi et al, 2018;Liao, 2018a;Liao and Long, 2019;Wang et al, 2020aWang et al, , 2020b, and researchers emphasized the importance of collaboration with social actors to develop GI (Melander, 2018;Arfi et al, 2018;Jov e-Llopis and Segarra-Blasco, 2018;Ardito et al, 2019). Extensive research shows that firms can acquire resources to facilitate GI by diversified cooperation (Delgado-Ceballos et al, 2012;Du et al, 2018;Liao, 2018b;Zhao et al, 2018;Melander, 2018;Ardito, et al, 2019).…”

PurposeAlthough interorganizational learning has attracted substantial attention, research about its effects on green innovation is still rare. Combining theories of organizational learning and absorptive capacity, this study explores the relationships among interorganizational learning, green knowledge integration capability (GKIC) and green innovation (GI), and analyzes the moderating role of green absorptive capacity (GAC). Based on resource-based and ambidexterity theories, this study focuses on vertical exploitative (VEL) and lateral explorative learning (LEL). This study expands the research of GI by proposing two different interorganizational learning mechanisms and uncovering the intricate relationship between them and GI.Design/methodology/approachBased on a sample of 203 Chinese manufacturing firms, the authors used a hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap method to test the theoretical framework and research hypotheses of this paper.FindingsResults show that VEL and LEL have positive effects on GI. GKIC partially mediates the relationship between VEL and GI and completely mediates the relationship between LEL and GI. Moreover, GAC plays a moderating role between LEL and GKIC and moderates the effect of LEL on GI via GKIC, such that the effect is stronger when GAC increases. However, it does not moderate the relationship between VEL and GKIC.Originality/valueFirst, founded on resource-based and ambidexterity theories, this study considers two dimensions of interorganizational learning, VEL and LEL. Second, by testing the mediating role of GKIC, the authors provide a theoretical lens to understand the relationship between interorganizational learning and GI. Third, by examining boundary conditions of GAC, the authors enrich organizational learning and absorptive capacity theory in the context of green development.

The entrepreneurial bricolage theory has been connected to a wide range of organizational phenomena, including innovation, firm performance, social entrepreneurship, and opportunity identification. Regrettably, research in this domain is yet to significantly heighten understanding of its connection to competitive advantage, which has been touted as the ultimate goal of any strategic business. This study reverses this trend by looking at the impact of entrepreneurial bricolage on competitive advantage as well as the mediating effect of resource orchestration capability in the relationship. Based on survey data administered to 413 small business enterprises (SBEs), structural equation modeling was used to analyze the results. Results show that entrepreneurial bricolage was significantly related to competitive advantage. Resource orchestration capability partially mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial bricolage and competitive advantage. A novel finding of this study documents resource orchestration capability and entrepreneurial bricolage as antecedents of competitive advantage, which has been missing in prior literature. The study concludes with theoretical and managerial implications and also proffers future research direction.
