“…In this study, we adopt organizational learning theory (March, 1991) to clarify the relationship between green training and corporate sustainability performance. Organizational learning theory suggests that corporate competitive advantage can be developed by acquiring new knowledge and competencies that interact with a firm's internal resources and external environment (Fortis, Maon, Frooman, & Reiner, 2018; Ojha, Struckell, Acharya, & Patel, 2018). Taking the organizational learning view, green training is aimed at enhancing firms' green‐related knowledge and competencies, as well as getting buy‐in from employees to commit to their firms' green endeavors by increasing environmental awareness, knowledge, and responsibility (Teixeira et al, 2016).…”

In general, studies on green innovation practices have primarily taken an innovation view to study the costs and benefits to firms. What has been less examined, however, is how green training spurs the intentions and advantages of green innovation. Thus, this paper explores how and when green training influences the likelihood of firms to achieve sustainability performance by using organizational learning theory. Using a dataset of 231 Chinese manufacturing firms, our work shows that green training is positively correlated to corporate sustainability performance via the indirect effect of green innovation behavior. We also find an increasingly positive indirect effect that is conditional on ambidextrous learning; specifically, this indirect effect is least positive for firms with lower ambidextrous learning capacity but stronger for those firms having higher ambidextrous learning capacity. We hold that the key to spurring corporate sustainability performance through green training lies mainly in advancing firms' green innovation behaviors and persistently enhancing their capacities for ambidextrous learning. Thus, this study offers not only new theoretical insights for understanding the effect of green training on corporate sustainability performance but also practical implications for improving corporate sustainability performance within a green economy context.

“…Their items were adopted from the existing literature and with some modifications they were used in data collection. Learning orientation has been measured using eight items adopted from Calantone et al (2002), Ojha et al (2018) andD'Angelo &Presutti (2018). For supply chain integration, items were adopted from Narasimhan and Kim (2002), Lii and Kuo (2016) and Qi et al (2017) and in a twelve-item scale it was measured in three dimensions, i.e.…”

“…In addition, SEM allows researchers to evaluate or validate theoretical models, making it one of the most powerful tools for the study of causal relationships on non-experimental data when these relationships are linear. Furthermore, SEM is a novel technique and is currently used in different fields [70]; for instance, Farooq, et al [71] analyze the impact of the quality service on customer satisfaction, Ojha, et al [72] analyze the SC organizational learning, exploration, exploitation, and firm performance, and Qi, et al [73] analyze the impact of operations and SC strategies on integration and performance, among many others researchers.…”

This paper reports a second-order structural equation model composed of four variables: the green attributes before and after an industrial production process, the operating benefits, the commercial benefits, and the economic benefits. The variables are related by means of five hypotheses and are validated statistically with information obtained from 559 responses to a questionnaire applied to the Mexican maquila industry. The model is evaluated using the technique of partial least squares and the results obtained indicate that the green attributes before and after the production process have a direct and positive effect on the obtained benefits, mostly on the operational ones. It is concluded that companies that are focused on increasing their greenness level must monitor and evaluate the existence of green attributes in their production process to guarantee benefits and make fast decisions if required due to deviations.
