“…Therefore, legislative pressure applied through regulatory frameworks can improve corporate competitiveness. Environmental legislative pressure as it applies to CSR is a new yet important topic in the field of CSR research (Cui & Wang, 2021; Zhang, 2021). Jean et al (2016) stated that CSR initiatives could be seen as a strategic response to institutional regulatory pressure.…”

Chinese companies are aware of the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) nowadays, but the drivers of CSR practices or activities are unknown. To bridge this research gap, this study examined the links between both internal and external factors and firm performance in the Chinese context and developed a new theoretical framework integrating the indigenous characteristics of CSR in China to predict the factors that affect Chinese CSR. Data from 530 Chinese managers from manufacturing and non-manufacturing firms were collected via a survey through SoJump (sojump.com) and analysed using structural equation modelling. One internal institutional factor (top management commitment) and three external factors (environmental legislative pressure, peer imitation pressure and normative social pressure) were found to strongly and positively predict CSR practices. The major contribution of this study is that, it demonstrates the intervening role of CSR practices in strengthening firm performance from a management perspective.

“…This point is elaborated as follows. First, organizational learning is essentially about adapting and responding to changes in the institutional environment and is one of the direct approaches for firms to understand and respond to institutional pressures [ 12 , 48 ]. In other words, an organization learns to develop organizational structures and systems to transform itself to become more adaptive and responsive to changes and jolts in the external environment [ 49 ].…”

Although institutional pressures have huge strategic implications for organizational activities, this certainly does not mean that organizations under institutional pressures can improve environmental performance automatically. Institutional pressures are critical but not sufficient to affect environmental performance directly. Therefore, additional research is needed to explore the missing link between institutional pressures and environmental performance. Based on the “pressure-response-performance” framework, this study integrates perspectives of institutional theory and organizational learning to argue the mediating role of organizational learning in the relationship between institutional pressures and environmental performance. Data were collected via 268 valid questionnaires from construction firms located in Shanxi Province in central China. Hypotheses in the conceptual model were tested with structural equation modeling. Empirical results reveal that both coercive and mimetic pressures have significantly positive effects on organizational learning, whereas normative pressures have a non-significant effect on organizational learning. Besides that, organizational learning has a significantly positive effect on environmental performance. In addition, organizational learning partially mediates the relationship between coercive pressures and environmental performance and completely mediates the relationship between mimetic pressures and environmental performance. By exploring the mediating role of organizational learning, the article uncovers the missing link in the relationship between institutional pressures and environmental performance.

“…This could strengthen green transformational leadership based on pro‐environmental behaviours and, in turn, promote a commitment towards innovative orientations in companies (Singh et al, 2020). Responsible green innovation involves building a collective commitment that assesses the potential consequences of research on the environment and the achievement of responsible outcomes (Cui & Wang, 2021), and for this to occur, a strong knowledge transfer base is necessary.…”

The objective of this article is to explore the combined effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR), green transformational leadership and knowledge transfer on responsible green innovation and to analyse their impact on agribusiness business performance in the context of a developing country. There is no research that integrates joint effects on responsible innovation with a focus on process inputs and increased greening capabilities in agricultural units. Moreover, we have integrated transformational green leadership to better explain this impact as a differentiator. Results show both knowledge transfer and green transformational leadership have positive relationships with responsible green innovation, and the latter has a positive impact on environmental, economic and strategic performance dimensions. Overall, our results establish that CSR is an external driver that reinforces knowledge transfer with an emphasis on collaboration. CSR also reinforces green leadership functions through synergies in conjunction with green human resource management practices.
