With increase in the focus on environmental protection, firms are integrating sustainability issues in process and product innovations. Firms can contribute toward sustainability and also improve operational performance through green innovation practices. However, the adoption of green innovation practices depends on the proactivity of top managers toward environment management. In this paper, we study the relationships between proactive environment strategy, green process innovation (GPRI), and operational performance. Further, we examine the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities (DCs) (technological capabilities and organizational learning) between GPRI and operational performance. The proposed framework is tested by data collected from the Indian manufacturing industries and using partial least squares (PLS) technique. The findings demonstrate proactive environment strategy as an important antecedent for GPRI practices. Second, technological capabilities and organizational learning mediate between GPRI and operational performance. The results of the study are useful for managers in the manufacturing firms, who are interested to implement GPRI practices or who are in the early stage of implementing the GPRI practices.

绿色流程创新和运营绩效：主动环境战略、技术能力和组织学习的作用

随着对环境保护的日益关注，公司正在将可持续性问题纳入流程和产品创新中。公司可以通过绿色创新实践为可持续发展做出贡献，并提高运营绩效。然而，绿色创新实践的采用取决于高层管理人员对环境管理的积极性。在本文中，我们研究了主动环境战略、绿色流程创新 (GPRI) 和运营绩效之间的关系。此外，我们研究了动态能力 (DC)（技术能力和组织学习）在 GPRI 和运营绩效之间的中介作用。提议的框架通过从印度制造业收集的数据并使用偏最小二乘法 (PLS) 技术进行测试。调查结果表明，主动环境战略是 GPRI 实践的重要前提。其次，技术能力和组织学习在 GPRI 和运营绩效之间起到中介作用。研究结果对制造企业的管理人员有用，他们有兴趣实施 GPRI 实践或处于实施 GPRI 实践的早期阶段。
