This study builds on knowledge capability research and the natural resource-based view of the firm (NRBV) to examine the effect of absorptive capacity on green innovation adoption. It also investigates the mediating role of three sustainable capabilities, namely, sustainable orientation, sustainable human capital and sustainable collaboration. By means of partial least squares-based structural equation modelling method, the study validated and analysed the responses of 193 owners and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in an emerging economy context. Data analysis has revealed that absorptive capacity is a strong predictor of sustainable capabilities and green innovation adoption. Moreover, sustainable orientation and collaboration capabilities have emerged as powerful determinants of green innovation adoption and mediators of the effect of absorptive capacity on green innovation adoption. Surprisingly, sustainable human capital shows no significant impact on green innovation adoption. This study offers a key departure from past studies through linking absorptive capacity to sustainable capabilities and green innovation adoption in the SMEs context. It also extends our knowledge concerning the role of NRBV and relational theory in green innovation adaption.

中小企业的吸收能力和绿色创新的采用:可持续组织能力的中介作用

本研究基于知识能力研究和企业基于自然资源的观点(NRBV),以研究吸收能力对绿色创新采用的影响。它还研究了三种可持续能力的中介作用,即可持续发展方向,可持续人力资本和可持续合作。通过基于偏最小二乘的结构方程建模方法,该研究验证和分析了新兴经济背景下193个中小企业的所有者和管理者的反应。数据分析表明,吸收能力是可持续能力和绿色创新采用的有力预测指标。而且,可持续导向和协作能力已成为采用绿色创新的有力决定因素,也是吸收能力对采用绿色创新的影响的中介者。令人惊讶的是,可持续的人力资本对绿色创新的采用没有显着影响。这项研究通过将吸收能力与可持续能力以及中小型企业环境下的绿色创新联系起来,提供了与以往研究的关键偏离。它还扩展了我们关于NRBV和关系理论在绿色创新适应中的作用的知识。这项研究通过将吸收能力与可持续能力以及中小型企业环境下的绿色创新联系起来,提供了与以往研究的关键偏离。它还扩展了我们关于NRBV和关系理论在绿色创新适应中的作用的知识。这项研究通过将吸收能力与可持续能力以及中小型企业环境下的绿色创新联系起来,提供了与以往研究的关键偏离。它还扩展了我们关于NRBV和关系理论在绿色创新适应中的作用的知识。
