Investigating the link between managers' green knowledge and leadership style,and their firms' environmental performance: The mediation role of green creativity

Despite extensive literature on green hotel management and sustainability, scant attention has been given on the role of managers to solve environmental related issues. This study's aim is to assess the effects of managers' green knowledge and green transformational leadership on firms' environmental performance with the mediating effect of green creativity. The study analyzes the perceptions of 363 employees in different managerial positions of the hotel industry employing Partial Last Square Structural Equation Modeling. The findings of the study show a positive effect of green knowledge and green transformational leadership on green creativity and green transformational leadership on environmental performance. Furthermore, green creativity is also found to have significant mediating effect between green knowledge and environmental performance, and green transformational leadership and environmental performance relations. The main implication of the current research is that managers' green concerns might help the stakeholders in the hotel industry to respond through appropriate green initiatives for their organizations. Further suggestions for literature and practice are discussed.     

The effect of environmental regulations,top management commitment,and organizational learning on green product innovation: Evidence from automobile industry

This paper proposes and empirically examines a model to investigate the effect of environmental regulations, top management commitment (TMCO) and organizational learning toward green product innovation (GPI). The proposed theoretical model, grounded in dynamic capabilities view (DCV) and upper echelons theory, is analyzed by Partial least squares (PLS) method using the data from Indian automotive manufacturing firms. The findings indicate the importance of TMCO and organizational learning for implementing GPI (in response to regulations), and achieve desired performance. Further, organizational learning fully mediates between commitment of top management and GPI. The findings can be useful for managers in automotive manufacturing firms who are interested toward implementing GPI. The paper contributes to green innovation literature by empirically examining the role of TMCO and organizational learning for GPI.     

Past,present, and future of green product innovation

Firms are under constant pressure from various governmental and nongovernmental agencies to switch from conventional environmentally polluting products to green product innovations (GPIs). However, the relevant research pertaining to GPI has been published in a diverse set of journals that vary in their scope and readership and, therefore, the scholarly contribution to the topic remains largely fragmented. This study has utilised a systematic literature review approach to examine the literary corpus on GPI to paint a holistic picture of its different aspects. The content and thematic analysis of 85 studies resulted in the extraction of seven key research themes: organisational capabilities, organisational learning, institutional pressures, barriers, structural changes, benefits of GPI, and methodological choices. This study's findings further highlight the various gaps in the GPI literature and raise some research questions that warrant scholarly investigation in the future. Likewise, our study has important implications for practitioners who are likely to benefit from a holistic understanding of the different aspects of GPI. Similarly, policymakers can use this study's findings to introduce policy interventions, especially in countries where GPI adoption is low.     

Net-zero emission targets and the role of managerial environmental awareness,customer pressure,and regulatory control toward environmental performance

To avoid the worst effects of global warming, countries agreed to limit warming below 2.0°C and ideally to 1.5°C preindustrial level. This requires countries to drop half of their greenhouse gas emission by 2030 and reach net-zero emission by 2050. In this regard, current study explores the role of green production as a mediator in the impact of managerial environmental awareness, customer pressure, and regulatory control on environmental performance. The data collected from 381 managers was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Results indicate that customer pressure, regulatory control, and managerial environmental awareness play a pivotal role toward green production, whereas only managerial environmental awareness among them directly influences environmental performance. Green production fully mediates the relationship from customer pressure and regulatory control to environmental performance. However, it partially mediates the relation between managerial environmental awareness and environmental performance. Similarly, the importance of green production for environmental performance is highlighted.     

“十四五”时期我国区域协调与绿色融合发展研究

近年来,我国坚持区域协调和绿色发展理念,区域协调取得一定成果,生态环境持续改善。“十四五”时期也将是我国实现区域协调和绿色发展的攻坚期。区域协调是绿色发展的前提,而绿色发展则是区域协调的高级形态。实现区域协调和绿色发展,是我国在新的历史时期实施体制机制创新的需要,实现共同富裕的理论需要,更是可持续发展的现实需要。要顺利实现区域协调和绿色融合发展,需要推动主体功能区发展,推动城市协调发展,实施绿色发展战略。重点是提升核心城市群人才集聚能力,破解经济增长与环境保护的两难困境;把握全球化发展的新历史机遇,实现产业结构优化和经济可持续发展;完善产权制度和生态补偿机制,探索区域协调和绿色融合发展新路径。

Willingness to Pay for Green Products in Air Travel: Ready for Take‐Off?

We examine the willingness to pay (WTP) for green products in air travel. Green products in aviation are supplementary services, which are sold on top of the travel service (e.g. carbon offsets, organic on‐board food). We identify a set of potential green products in aviation and report the preferences for additional airline services of 811 Swiss air travellers using an adaptive choice‐based conjoint survey. We find that 20% of those passengers who are interested in purchasing supplementary services show a considerable WTP for green products. The green segment differs from the regular segment only in terms of behavioural features, not in terms of demographic or socio‐economic characteristics.

国家生态文明试验区建设有助于提升碳排放效率吗？——基于合成控制法的实证分析

以2016年起分批设立的国家生态文明试验区为准自然实验,借助合成控制法实证评估其建设对各试验区碳排放效率的影响效果及作用机制。研究发现,国家生态文明试验区建设有助于提升福建省和江西省的碳排放效率,且对福建省的提升幅度高于江西省,经安慰剂检验、排序检验、稀疏合成控制检验、DID检验后结论依旧成立。效率分解发现,国家生态文明试验区建设提升了福建省碳排放的规模效率变化指数,对江西省碳排放的规模效率变化指数和纯技术效率变化指数均有促进作用。机制分析发现,促进绿色技术创新、改善能源利用效率分别作为内生动力和外部途径,均能在国家生态文明试验区建设提升碳排放效率的过程中发挥积极作用。研究为全面推进我国生态文明建设、早日实现碳达峰和碳中和目标提供了理论参考和政策启示。
