Abstract:
This paper uses social identity theory to develop an environmental identity theory and interpret why sustainable leadership can influence environmental identity, which in turn, results in environmental innovation strategy (EIS) adoption. Data were collected from 90 samples of technology manufacturing firms in Taiwan, and a latent growth curve model was employed to analyze the longitudinal data. The research results confirm all hypotheses. Mediating analysis also supports the environmental identity as a mediating role between sustainable leadership and EIS. Indeed, past studies have not explored the mechanism studied in this paper, a novel mechanism which can not only advance the literature on sustainable development but also help companies to realize sustainable development through environmental innovation strategy adoption.
摘要:
本文使用社会认同理论来发展环境认同理论,并解释为什么可持续领导可以影响环境认同,反过来,环境创新战略(EIS)采用的结果。数据来自台湾90家科技制造公司的样本,并采用潜在生长曲线模型对纵向数据进行分析。研究结果证实了所有假设。中介分析还支持环境认同作为可持续领导力和EIS之间的中介作用。的确,过去的研究没有探索本文研究的机制,一种新颖的机制,不仅可以推进可持续发展的文献,还可以帮助公司通过环境创新战略的采用实现可持续发展。
