Supply chain integration and green innovation, the role of environmental uncertainty: Evidence from Jordan

Abstract

Prior research in several industries, particularly manufacturing industries, has confirmed the use of supply chain integration (SCI) to achieve green innovation (GI). Despite this, there has been very little research into the effects of SCI on the GI of manufacturing businesses. As a result, the current study was carried out to close this gap in the literature. Data from 231 manufacturing businesses in Jordan was used to validate a framework of several hypotheses about the relationships involving SCI and GI. SCI (customer integration (CI) and supplier integration (SI) have beneficial benefits on the green product and process innovation (GPDI & GPRI), according to the results of structural equation modeling. SI's effects on green products and process innovation are moderated by environmental unpredictability. The effects of CI on green product innovation are being moderated by environmental unpredictability. Environmental uncertainty, on the other hand, does not moderate the impacts of CI on green process innovation. This research adds to our knowledge of the SCI-GI link.

Open innovation starts from home: the potentials of enterprise social media (ESM) in nurturing employee innovation

“…When employees notice their participation in open innovation activities is needed, valued and rewarded, they may exhibit greater commitments to ESM use. In particular, this support from the management team can encourage cross-functional ideation and collaboration (Chin et al, 2015b;Lukes and Stephan, 2017;Shaar et al, 2015). Therefore, H3.…”

The nonlinear impact of financial flexibility on corporate sustainability: Empirical evidence from the Chinese manufacturing industry

“…It affects not only the formulation of corporate strategic decisions but also the company's ability to respond to market changes and effectively allocate resources. For companies, effectively managing and adapting to this uncertainty is one of the key challenges in achieving sustainable development performance [ 34 ]. Here, sustainable development performance refers to a company's comprehensive performance across economic, social, and environmental dimensions, reflecting the overall health and responsibility of its long-term development.…”

Supporting participatory innovation during the COVID-19 pandemic: a comparative study of enterprise social media use

“…For example, management support facilitates the creation of a dynamic learning environment where employees create and transfer knowledge across and within functional units and thereby contributing to innovation performance (Li et al, 2018). This optimizes the life cycle of innovation projects as it creates synergy between different projects and functional units (Shaar et al, 2015). In contrast, a lack of management support or trust creates an unsafe environment for knowledge sharing (Chen and Kuo, 2017), resulting in poor innovation performance or even innovation failures (Hamdi et al, 2016).…”
