“…Recently, an increasing number of empirical studies have used the dynamic capability (DC) view to frame sustainability under organization and management perspectives (Beske, Land, & Seuring, 2014; Demirel & Kesidou, 2019; Leonidou, Leonidou, Fotiadis, & Aykol, 2015). Researchers have operationalized heterogenous constructs and subdimensions, including those grouped and named for the first time by Amui, Jabbour, de Sousa Jabbour, and Kannan (2017) as dynamic capabilities for sustainability (DCsS), to analyze causal relationships in different fields of study such as innovation management (Qiu, Jie, Wang, & Zhao, 2019; Zhou, Hong, Zhu, Yang, & Zhao, 2018), strategic management (Lin & Chen, 2017; Yang, Zhang, Jiang, & Sun, 2015), and supply chain management (Hong, Zhang, & Ding, 2018; Song & Choi, 2018).…”

We performed a systematic literature review to explore and understand how the 23‐year long debate about dynamic capabilities has addressed sustainability issues. Based on this, we propose a unifying framework that distinguishes different facets of dynamic capabilities for sustainability (DCsS) based on the different types of performance they are more suitable to predict. The theoretical contribution is twofold. First, we add to the literature by highlighting the dependence of different forms of DCsS on different levels of the centrality of sustainability outcomes in corporate strategies. Second, we shed light on the operationalizations of DCsS by providing guidance on the adoption of pertinent constructs and measurement models. The review concludes with a discussion of the managerial implications of the proposed conceptual framework to help decision makers better understand, which strategic moves to make to achieve their intended sustainability goals.

“…Consequently, green dynamic capability can be viewed as an extension of dynamic capability but applied to the field of environmental management (Qiu et al, 2019). Compared with dynamic capability, enterprises need to integrate resources related to environmental protection (Zahra, Sapienza, & Davidsson, 2006).…”

“…Furthermore, in those few existing studies on the analysis of green dynamic capability (e.g. Dangelico et al, 2017; Qiu et al, 2019; Reyes‐Santiago et al, 2019), no guidance is provided about how to nurture green dynamic capability and help enterprises gain a competitive advantage. In other words, few studies have analyzed the driving factors of enterprises' green dynamic capability.…”

“…Dynamic capabilities can be employed as a core construct in research about sustainable development and environmental management to investigate different aspects of corporate social responsibility (Choi, Feng, Liu, & Zhu, 2019; Ramachandran, 2011). However, although previous research has verified the influence of green dynamic capability on enterprise performance and competitive advantage (such as Dangelico, Pujari, & Pontrandolfo, 2017; Qiu, Jie, Wang, & Zhao, 2019; Reyes‐Santiago, Sánchez‐Medina, & Díaz‐Pichardo, 2019), few studies have empirically addressed how to improve the green dynamic capability of enterprises. In order to improve green dynamic capability, enterprises need to develop a business model that supports sustainable development (Zhao, Pan, & Lu, 2016).…”

Improving green dynamic capability is an important business strategy to enhance enterprises' competitive advantage. This study proposes a theoretical framework that considers the business model and green production to analyze how green dynamic capability can be fostered by enterprises. In this study, 202 managers of Chinese construction enterprises were questionnaire surveyed, and partial least squares structural equation modelling was used to test hypotheses. Results show that: (a) the business model is positively related to green dynamic capability, so enterprises need to adjust business model to balance economic benefits and environmental responsibility; and (b) green production directly and indirectly affect green dynamic capability through a positive mediating role of the business model. This study extends the current literature on dynamic capability by investigating the relationship between the business model, green production, and green dynamic capability. This study also provides guidance for enterprises to enhance green dynamic capability and promote sustainable development. Highlights This paper proposes a theoretical framework that takes into account business models and green production to analyze how to cultivate and enhance enterprises' green dynamic capability. Takes China as an example to empirically analyze the impact of business model and green production on the green dynamic capability of enterprises, and eventually lay a theoretical guidance for enterprises to achieve green development goals. Good business model is positively correlated with green dynamic capability. The higher the level of green production, the stronger the positive relationship between business model and green dynamic capability.

“…In today's highly industrialized era, Chinese manufacturing managers are primarily concerned with the organizational performance gains brought about by upgrading machinery and technology, and ignore the importance of factory worker interaction. In studies on the sustainable development and competitive advantage of SME manufacturing enterprises, researchers tend to focus on the utilization rates of new machinery and equipment [23], the innovative ability of skilled workers [24], green development [25], and the quality and quantity of outputs [26]. Few studies analyze the role of factory workers based on HRM.…”

This study uses the grounded theory approach to explore factory workers to factory worker interaction (FWI) in the context of Chinese factories and proposes a model of FWI in the workplace. Human interaction in the workplace is indispensable in most sectors. Compared with large-scale factories, China’s small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) factories lack capital resources and technological advancement, and sustainably managing factory workers is essential for the development of Chinese SME factories. However, previous studies have ignored FWI in Chinese factories. The model developed in this study considers the types, driving factors, and influential outcomes of FWI. The main factors affecting FWI are the individual characteristics of the workplace and external environmental factors and, among types of FWI, information sharing is the most dominant and prevailing. The managers’ management style and the emotional state of factory workers are playing moderating roles in FWI. Results show that factory managers can take advantage of the positive impacts of FWI to improve the efficiency of factory workers and avoid its negative effects to achieve sustainable development of the factory. Theoretical and managerial implications are provided.
