Prompting green product and process innovation: examining the effects of green transformational leadership and dynamic capabilities

KOBİ’lerde yeşil süreç inovasyonunu teşvik etmek için yeşil dönüşümcü liderliğin ve yeşil temel yeteneklerin etkilerinin incelenmesi

“…According to the structural analysis results, there was a significant positive relationship between the green transformational leadership of business owner-managers in SMEs and green process innovation (β = 0.529, t; 6.737, p; 0.000), and accordingly, H1 was supported. This research finding strengthens previous studies (Singh et al, 2020;Begum et al, 2022;Ahmad et al, 2022).…”

“…Moreover, according to the analysis results, it was found that the relationship between the green transformational leadership of business owner-managers in SMEs and green core competency (β = 0.768, t; 14.677 p; 0.000) was positively significant, and accordingly, H2 was supported. This finding also supports the works of scientists who advocate that green transformational leaders facilitate green exploratory and exploitative learning (Cui, Wang, and Zhou, 2022) and improve green dynamic capabilities (Ahmad et al, 2022). Furthermore, the present research is the first study that examines the impact of the green transformational leader on green core competency and contributes to the green management literature.…”

‘Circular patents’ and dynamic capabilities: new insights for patenting in a circular economy

“…Although these researchers seem to agree on the relevance of companies' resources and capabilities to the CE, no specific previous studies explore ways of defining and measuring environmental practices and capabilities related to the circular model at the micro level (Marrucci et al 2021). In this circular research, patents are considered as integral elements of companies' dynamic capabilities, considering that environmental concern is a strategic element that positively impacts competitiveness and contributes to sustainable development (Ahmad et al 2022).…”

“…The previous research on green patents has built upon the Resource-Based View (RBV) to argue that innovation resources enable environmentally innovative companies to distinguish themselves from non-environmentally innovative ones (Rodriguez and Wiengarten 2017;Marín-Vinuesa et al 2020), also in a CE framework (Aranda-Usón et al 2019). More recently, different dynamic capabilities have been analysed for their positive effect on green innovation (Ahmad et al 2022;Yin and Wang 2021), and to enhance companies' ability to gain competitive advantages for the CE (Marrucci et al 2021;Herrero-Luna, Ferrer-Serrano, and Pilar Latorre-Martínez 2022).…”

Fostering Green Innovation Adoption through Green Dynamic Capability: The Moderating Role of Environmental Dynamism and Big Data Analytic Capability

“…Green dynamic capability also influences firms’ environmental values, leading them to actively participate in sustainable activities, such as environmental resource allocation and green innovation. Green dynamic capability, representing a firm’s social, physical, communicative, and psychological assets, impacts the firm’s growth and value creation [ 56 ]. Following the dynamic capability theory, green dynamic capability is a critical capability that demonstrates the environmental orientation of employees’ behavior, action, attitude, skill, experience, commitment, and knowledge [ 57 ].…”
