From the environmental sustainability perspective, scholars have considered corporate social responsibility activities as an essential mechanism for enhancing enterprise performance and innovation outcomes. However, how and under what conditions corporate social responsibility activities influence green innovation performance in emerging economies is still unclear. From the perspective of the theory of planned behavior, we construct a theoretical model to assess how corporate social responsibility activities affect enterprises’ green innovation performance. Explicitly, we investigate the mediating and moderating effects of managerial environmental concern and green absorptive capacity on the relationship between corporate social responsibility activities and enterprises’ green innovation performance. This research relies on a sample of 358 enterprises from the manufacturing and service sectors in China, and uses regression analysis and bootstrap to test the hypotheses proposed. The empirical results demonstrate that (1) corporate social responsibility activities positively enhance enterprises’ green innovation performance; (2) corporate social responsibility activities have a positive influence on managerial environmental concern; (3) managerial environmental concern has a mediating role between corporate social responsibility activities and green innovation performance; (4) managerial environmental concern has a powerful influence on green innovation performance; (5) green absorptive capacity positively moderates the association between managerial environmental concern and green innovation performance. This research work proposes that managerial environmental concern and green absorptive capacity play a mediating and moderating function on the linkage amongst corporate social responsibility activities and green innovation performance.

“…According to RBV [22], innovation capability, as a key resource of firms, is particularly critical in the pursuit of innovation goals [74,75] and is a key driver of business growth, performance, and a sustained competitive edge [76]. The NBRV further argues that a firm's competitive edge fundamentally lies in its relationship with the natural environment [29], so sustainable development represents a new goal that firms will inevitably pursue, and it has indeed been proved that innovation is a major driver of sustainable development [77]; Boadu, Xie, Du, and Dwomo-Fokuo [78] contend that innovation plays an influential role in the firm's development and sustainability, especially in an exhaustively aggressive business environment. Moreover, activities that drive sustainable development are increasingly analyzed as a source of competitive edge for firms [79].…”

Sustainable development is a significant issue facing small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Drawing on the literature of corporate sustainable development and the resource-based view, this study aims to examine how corporate flexibility and control culture influence sustainable performance by triggering innovation capabilities and investigate the moderating role of leadership style (i.e., transformational and transactional). The 186 matched questionnaire data from managers and employees in Chinese SMEs reveal that the flexibility and control culture are positively and negatively related to innovation capability, respectively, and that the latter mediates their influence on sustainable performance. Moreover, transformational leadership positively (negatively) moderates the relationship between flexibility (control) culture and innovation capability, while transactional leadership positively moderates the relationship between control culture and innovation capability. This study enriches the theoretical literature on corporate sustainable performance and provides management insights into how SMEs could survive and achieve sustained growth through corporate culture.

“…First, all the empirical findings exhibited by this research stem from quantitative data, which was employed to examine the research phenomenon; it could be necessary for future researchers to engage the qualitative method to shed more light on the association among the variables. Second, the current research only considers the association among the constructs under the control roles of subsidiary age, size, R&D intensity, and industry type to account for dissimilarities in innovation outcome without considering their moderating influences or the other moderating roles of strategic variables such as ownership type of subsidiaries, collaborative know-how, prior experience, learning capacity, and organizational supports (Boadu et al, 2021b;Shi et al, 2021). In future studies, we believe that researchers can scrutinize the correlation between the constructs under the moderating mechanisms of these factors to offer an unfathomable comprehension of the association among them.…”

In this paper, we adopt the resource-based view theory as the theoretical framework to empirically investigate the relationship among knowledge transfer received dimensions (i.e., tacit and explicit), human resource management practices, training and development types (i.e., on-the-job training and development, and off-the-job training and development) and subsidiary innovation performance. Using a survey dataset from 314 subsidiaries of foreign multinational enterprises located in China, we find that: (1) knowledge transfer received dimensions contribute to subsidiary innovation performance; (2) human resource management practices can positively moderate knowledge transfer received dimensions and subsidiary innovation performance; (3) the positive effect of human resource management practices on the knowledge transfer received dimensions- subsidiary innovation performance link increases when on-the-job training and development and off-the-job training and development is high. The study also provides insight into how knowledge transfer received dimensions, human resource management practices, and training and development types matter importantly to the subsidiary’s innovation performance.
