“…Green consumption behavior refers to a kind of consumption behavior which minimizes the negative impact of consumption on the environment in the whole process of purchase, use and disposal, especially in the phase of purchasing environmentally friendly products [8,24]. According to classical theories in consumer behavior domain, specifically the theory of planned behavior, behavior of an individual can-to some extent-be reasonably deduced by his or her behavioral intention, and behavioral intention-the subjective possibility of a specific behavior-can be used as a measurement for a specific behavior [23,25]. Much research has concluded that green consumption intention can effectively profile green consumption behavior [8,23,26,27].…”

“…It is uncontested that the price of green products, as a measure of individual sacrifice, has a strong influence in consumers' green purchasing decisions. Due to the general premium of green products, green consumption behavior requires certain sacrifices in personal interests (e.g., monetary payments) [21][22][23]. Notably, whether such personal interests exert influence on a consumer's overall environmental benefits evaluation has not been explored yet.…”

Impact of Consumer Environmental Responsibility on Green Consumption Behavior in China: The Role of Environmental Concern and Price Sensitivity

Research on influence factors for green consumption has greatly advanced in recent years. However, little research has explored the effect of consumers’ environmental responsibility on green consumption and how this effect was mediated by environmental concern and moderated by price sensitivity, especially when consumers simultaneously pay close attention to environmental and personal interests. This study investigates the impact of environmental responsibility on green consumption via the mediation of environmental concern and the moderation of price sensitivity. The questionnaire survey method was used to collect data from 680 Chinese consumers via an online questionnaire. The empirical results reveal that environmental responsibility can promote environmental concern and enhance green consumption. Specifically, environmental responsibility has a positive impact on environmental concern and also has different positive effects on green consumption intention. Environmental concern positively affects green consumption intention and plays a partial mediation role in the relationship between environmental responsibility and green consumption intention. Price sensitivity plays a negative moderation role in the relationship among environmental responsibility, environmental concern and green consumption intention. The theoretical and managerial implications of the findings were discussed.

“…The intentions and behaviors of low-income households' green consumption have also attracted the attention of researchers. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), Al Mamun [29] found that attitude and perceived behavioral control have a positive impact on the willingness to consume green products. Varela-Candamio et al [30] used a meta-analysis approach to find that environmental education can promote green behavior.…”

The issue of the green development of industrial enterprises has become the focus of attention of all parties. However, the driving factors of green development behavior and performance in industrial enterprises remains unexplored. What are the driving factors of green development behavior and performance in industrial enterprises? How does the theoretical model of green development behavior and performance in industrial enterprises work? In order to reveal the driving factors of green development behavior and performance in industrial enterprises, this paper develops a theoretical model and tests the model through the evidence of Chinese industrial enterprises. Based on the further study of in-depth interview materials from 52 employees in industrial enterprises, this paper takes industrial enterprises as the research object and constructs a theoretical model by using a grounded theory method. The results show that 40 initial concepts, 10 initial categories, four main categories and three core categories are obtained through the coding step of grounded theory. The study found the following three conclusions: (1) The green development of industrial enterprise exists in the organization in the form of specific behavioral expressions; (2) The green development of industrial enterprise caused the occurrence of green development behavior of industrial enterprises. The external factors of industrial enterprise green development consist of the environment of policy and institutional, market environment and public supervision. The internal factors of industrial enterprise green development are composed of tangible and intangible resources of enterprises; (3) The occurrence of industrial enterprise green development behavior has led to the consequence of green development of industrial enterprises. The consequence is embodied in the green development performance of industrial enterprises, including corporate financial performance, corporate environmental performance and corporate social performance. In addition, some management implications are presented based on the research findings. This research enriches the field of green development theory, business development theory and green behavior research. This study also provides a reference for exploring theoretical models of industrial enterprise green development in other countries and regions of the world.

“…Comparing with traditional innovations, green innovation is a new innovation model to deal with energy saving, pollution preventing, waste recycling, green product design, and corporate environmental management (Tang, Walsh, Lerner, Fitza, & Li, 2018;Tsai & Liao, 2017). The aim of green innovation is to produce novel or improved products and processes that diminish negative environmental impacts and eventually realize the harmonious co-development of environment, economy, and society (Al Mamun, Mohamad, Yaacob, & Mohiuddin, 2018). According to ambidexterity theory, green innovation can be divided into exploitative green innovation and exploratory green innovation, and the two types of innovation are conducted at the same time within a firm (O'Reilly & Tushman, 2008).…”

Boundary‐spanning search and firms' green innovation: The moderating role of resource orchestration capability

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Building on resource-based theory and resource orchestration theory, we investigate the impact of two characteristics of boundary-spanning search, search breadth and search depth, on firms' exploitative and exploratory green innovations. We also examine the moderating role of resource orchestration capability. The results of data analysis from 186 manufacturing firms in China show that both search breadth and search depth have inverted U-shaped relationships with exploitative and exploratory green innovations. Furthermore, resource orchestration capability is found to moderate the inverted U-shaped relationship between boundary-spanning search and green innovation. Specifically, with high resource orchestration capability, the inverted U-shaped relationships of search breadth with exploitative and exploratory green innovations are flattened, whereas the relationships of search depth with exploitative and exploratory green innovations are almost linear. Our research contributes to the literature on green innovation by uncovering the complex effects of boundary-spanning search on exploitative and exploratory green innovations.
