abstract

Environmental management and green practices have a narrow linkage with firm innovativeness. Companies that are pioneers in green innovation strategies might reach and sustain competitive advantages. Thus, successful green innovation performance (GIP) helps firms to achieve greater efficiency as well as to establish and strengthen their core competences. This study focuses on the dynamic capabilities (DC) and ordinary capabilities (OC) like antecedents of GIP, and the relationship between these constructs. Proposing a mediation model to analyze both direct and indirect relationships, this study applies variance-based structural equation modeling through a partial least squares to a sample of 112 firms from the Spanish automotive components' manufacturing sector. The results suggest that both the direct effect and indirect effect of capabilities (DC and OC) on GIP are positive and significant, and improve the prediction of firm's GIP. Furthermore, the structural model supports that DC influence GIP by reconfiguring relationship-learning capabilities (a type of OC).

5. Conclusions

Several studies argue the existence of a direct link between firms' capabilities and financial performance (Karna et al., 2015; Teece, 2007; Zahra et al., 2006). However, no studies focus on the influence of the internal capabilities on other outcome’ measures such as GIP. In comparison to conventional innovation and new product development, the study of green innovation is relatively new in the academe field even though scholars' interest on green innovation has grown in recent years (e.g., Chung & Tsai, 2007; Pujari, Wright, & Peattie, 2003; Rehfeld, Rennings, & Ziegler, 2007). Building on previous literature, this study develops a research model that links DC, RLC, and GIP with the purpose of clarifying the existing relationships between DC and GIP and assessing whether new ordinary capabilities (RLC) mediate this link. This study is in line with other works that focus on the outcomes of firm’ capabilities, contributing to the debate of fostering green and competitive firms (e.g., Chen & Chang, 2013; Chen et al., 2006; Lefebvre, Lefebvre, & Talbot, 2003; Shrivastava, 1995).
