Abstract:

Combining the imprint theory and the upper echelons theory and taking 383 A-share listed firms as the sample, this paper investigated the mediating effect of environmental attention on the relation between technological imprint and ambidextrous green innovation of firms. The results show that when the top management team(TMT) has technological educational imprint, firms prefer exploratory green innovation, but when the TMT has technological positional imprint, firms prefer exploitative green innovation. Environmental attention has a mediating effect. When the TMT has technological educational imprint, firms are inclined to increase the degree of environment attention to choose exploratory green innovation, but when the TMT has technological positional imprint, firms are inclined to increase the degree of environment attention to choose exploitative green innovation. Exploring the differences in the theoretical mechanisms of different types of green innovation is of great significance to how firms can configure their TMT to promote green innovation in firms.

摘要：

结合印记理论和高阶梯队理论，以A股上市383家企业为样本，探究环境注意力在高管团队技术印记与企业绿色双元创新间的中介机制。结果发现：① 高管团队拥有技术专业教育印记，更倾向于绿色探索式创新；高管团队拥有技术职业经历印记，更倾向于绿色利用式创新。② 环境注意力起中介作用。当高管团队拥有技术专业教育印记时，更倾向于通过提高环境注意力进行绿色探索式创新；当高管团队拥有技术职业经历印记时，更倾向于通过提高环境注意力进行绿色利用式创新。探究不同类型绿色创新理论机制的差异对企业如何配置高管团队来推进企业绿色创新具有重要意义。
