“…It allows businesses to add new knowledge to their existing body of knowledge, tie it to existing knowledge, and use it to create GI (Pacheco et al, 2018). Furthermore, dissipative attributes that are better preserved must directly impact GI when designing processes, such as in the form of leaders and the strategy taken by a firm, as opposed to evaluating performance (Alves et al, 2016;Alam et al, 2023). Given outside actors' presence and multilateralism's implications on GI, new external knowledge can be acquired (Ben Arfi et al, 2018).…”

PurposeGiven the critical role of green innovation (GI) in the manufacturing sector, this study builds a moderated mediation model to evaluate the influence of leadership and management support on GI, the mediating function of green knowledge acquisition, and the moderating role of green absorptive ability.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative research approach with hierarchical regression analysis to assess the proposed relationships among the constructs on a sample of 371 executives from 117 large-sized manufacturing firms in Pakistan.FindingsThe research findings demonstrate that leadership and management support significantly affects both radical and incremental GI, with incremental green innovation being more positively affected than radical green innovation. Green knowledge acquisition partially mediates between leadership and management support, radical and incremental green innovation. Green knowledge acquisition moderates the association between leadership and management support and green knowledge acquisition and the link between leadership and management support and incremental GI. The findings also demonstrate that green knowledge acquisition's mediating effect on leadership and management support, and GI is more pronounced when green absorptive capacity is high.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is based on cross-sectional data gathered from manufacturing companies. Future studies should consider this differentiation between the enterprises since there are various sectors within the general manufacturing sector whose environmental effect is more or less polluting. This research focused exclusively on two aspects of GI (radical and incremental GI). It is feasible that additional GI constituents (i.e., product, process, and management GI) can significantly boost businesses' competitive advantage. This study recommends additional study into the potential moderating impacts of technological and market turbulence to better understand the relationship between these concepts since it is evident that internal and external factors influence GI.Practical implicationsThe study provides useful insights and an innovative way for manufacturing firms and authorities to prevent environmental deterioration and achieve sustainable green innovation through leadership and management support and green intangible resources.Originality/valueThis research concentrating on green environmental concerns and using RBV theory attempts to fill research gaps and sheds light on how leadership and management support promote both radical and incremental green innovation via the mediating and moderating roles of green knowledge acquisition and green absorptive capacity.

The study of Alam et al (2023a) analyzed GT implementation on employee age, size and experience. The study's outcome indicated a positive connection between GT and employee-specific dimensions.…”

“…Adopting green technologies in supply houses improves environmental and financial performance (Zimon et al ., 2020). Utilizing GT in supply houses minimizes the negative impacts on society and employee satisfaction (Alam et al ., 2023a), although the supply process is a complex dilemma in the large manufacturing firm. Without proper planning, monitoring, scheduling and information, manufacturing firms face ambiguity in terms of the supply chain process.…”

PurposeEmployee knowledge is an essential contributor to managing supply chain ambiguities and supply improvement. The current research examined green technology (GT) implementation and knowledge management (KM) processes toward knowledge worker supply performance (KWSP). The present study postulates that GT implementation's positive impacts on the KM process and KM process lead to improved KWSP based on employee knowledge contribution.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish the research objective, the data were taken from those production houses that are utilizing GT. A total of 400 questionnaires were distributed in Zhengzhou city, and feedback was received (343). The feedback data were studied through partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). fsQCA is used to analyze improving the multiple configurational paths of KWSP.FindingsThe study revealed that GT implementation is positively associated with the KM process, and KM processes substantially influence the improvement of KWSP. The consequence of fsQCA demonstrated that various combinations improve supply chain performance. The study combines certain dimensions of GT implementation with the KM process, revealing that supply chain performance improved based on knowledge sharing in manufacturing firms.Research limitations/implicationsThis study guides decision-makers and academics on using the knowledge process associated with GT to improve supply chain performance. Moreover, future researchers should use information technology in supply houses and compare the result with the literature to generalize the results better.Originality/valueThe asymmetric technique assists in differentiating the connections that are not directly investigated by the traditional symmetric method. The study covers and identifies various approaches that can be used in manufacturing firms to improve the supply chain process and employee satisfaction. The study combines the two techniques to understand supply performance based on knowledge sharing in manufacturing firms.

“…Many earlier research studies have studied only the motives of an employee of either with respect to social practices or environmental one's, rather than considering the intersection between the two (Alam et al, 2023;Chatzopoulou et al, 2022;Gurmani, et al, 2021). However, businesses that adopt sustainable practices may seek to minimize their environmental impacts by reducing resource use and emissions, but may also consider the social implications of such activities.…”

This study explores the impact of reduction of waste and waste, green employee Behavior and reduction of resource use on environmental strategy in manufacturing companies of Sindh, Pakistan. Using a cross-sectional design and a sample of 220 firms, data was collected through face-to-face surveys conducted from August 1 to October 31, 2022. The questionnaire adopted in this study focused on including the reduction of waste and waste, green employee behavior and reduction of resource use. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modelling (SEM) to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings suggest that these variables have a positive and significant impact on environmental strategy, indicating that these variables can be valuable tools for promoting environmental strategy in the manufacturing sector of Sindh, Pakistan. These results have practical implications for manufacturing companies in Sindh, Pakistan, as it suggests that top management should prioritize the development of effective strategies to promote the reduction of waste and waste, green employee behavior and reduction of resource use in the future strategies.
