“…The inclusion of the lagged independent variable is crucial because it allows competent board members to have considerable time in their positions before they can effectively impact corporate strategies, such as those of green innovation (Bear et al, 2010; Yousaf, Ullah, Jiang, et al, 2022). To further support our baseline findings, we follow earlier studies (i.e., Huang et al, 2021; Ullah et al, 2023) and utilize alternative methods such as Poisson regression, negative binomial regression, and green management innovation in columns 3 to 5 of Table 5. For green management innovation, we incorporate ISO‐14001 certification as a categorical variable, assigning a value of 1 if a firm has obtained the certification and 0 otherwise.…”

“…The results of the univariate analysis are presented in Table 4, which compares the green innovation values for firms characterized by higher board competence with those exhibiting low board competence. To differentiate between high and low board competence, the study utilizes the sample median as a threshold, considering values above the median as indicative of high board competence and the remaining values as representing low board competence (Ullah et al, 2023). The findings demonstrate that firms with high board competence exhibit significantly greater green innovation values than those with low board competence.…”

“…Endogeneity is a common concern in corporate governance studies, and our study addresses this issue by employing various approaches, as presented in Table 7. First, to account for unobserved firm‐specific features, we employ fixed‐effect (FE) regression (Ullah et al, 2023). Column 1 presents the FE results in accordance.…”

Previous research examining the link between board attributes and ecological strategies such as green innovation has primarily focused on structural board attributes, yielding mixed findings. Moreover, the critical contextual grounds that shape the relationship between board attributes and green innovation have often been overlooked, leading to potential biases in empirical investigations. Considering that competence drives outstanding performance, we developed a unique measure of board competence that represents the board's intrinsic ability to perform in corporate strategies. Drawing on a holistic perspective of agency, resource dependence, and stakeholder theories, we posit a strong relationship between board competence and green innovation. Furthermore, we contend that this association is moderated by external governance mechanisms, namely audit quality, media coverage, and imitative pressure. Through our analysis of publicly traded Chinese companies, we found compelling evidence to support our assertions. These findings have important implications for policymakers, practitioners, and managers.
