Integrating ESG disclosure into the relationship between CSR and green organizational culture toward green Innovation

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to propose a conceptual framework to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and green organizational culture (GOC) on green innovation with the moderating role of environmental, social and governance (ESG) disclosure in the Malaysian manufacturing industry. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on primary data to be collected from 204 manufacturing enterprises of consumers, products and services sector through a questionnaire that incorporates the five-point Likert scale. The exploratory factor analysis is proposed to be performed using SPSS 24.0 and confirmatory factor analysis is suggested to be conducted using AMOS.21 software to explore the factors and reliability of the items and to confirm the factorial structure of pertinent variables, respectively. Furthermore, partial least square structural equation modeling is proposed to investigate relationships between constructs and latent variables. Findings The proposed framework suggests that the comprehensive adoption of CSR and GOC with the moderating role of ESG disclosure has a significant and positive impact on green innovation. Practical implications This study provides insights into formulating strategies for enhancing green innovation and serves as a valuable resource for stakeholders for sustainable development in manufacturing enterprises. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, regarding originality, this is the first attempt at conceptualizing the integrated framework of CSR, GOC, green innovation and ESG disclosure for collective examination that is likely to extend the existing literature. Furthermore, this study extends stakeholders and resource-based view theory by proving their utility in the perspective of CSR, GOC, green innovation and ESG disclosure to achieve environmental sustainability.

Demystifying the relationships among green HRM, green work engagement, green innovation and environmental performance: a serial mediation model

“…According to Chen et al (2006), green innovation refers to designing pro-environmental products and processes that mitigate pollution, recycle waste and preserve energy. It tries to make the product more environmentally friendly through engaging in a gamut of activities such as using greener raw materials, decreasing carbon emissions, reducing the consumption of non-renewable sources of energy, eliminating wastage and applying eco-design principles (Mukhtar et al , 2023). Green innovation consists of green product innovation and green process innovation, which positively impact the environmental outcomes (Gangi et al , 2020).…”

“…The scale which will be designed based on previous studies as shown in Table 1. The items will be adapted for proposed questionnaire about ESG practices, innovation orientation and green innovation from Mukhtar, Shad, Woon, et al (2023), Wu (2016) and Chen et al (2006) respectively. The questionnaire items will be validated through pilot test to ensure that the questions are understandable, and respondents can easily complete the survey.…”

“…In Addition, Abbasi, et al [16] and Jang and Park [17] reveal that artificial obstacles and gaps created in the games reflect the lower perceived enjoyment of the game and just overcome these issues purchasable in-game content offered to the players. In terms of utilitarian and hedonic perspectives, the usefulness of these in-game content is considered a utilitarian motive whilst enjoyment by the purchase of this content is considered the hedonic motive of in-game content purchase [18][19][20].…”
