Abstract

Despite extensive discourse on the significant role of stakeholder integration in sustainability and firm performance, its impact on promoting green innovation (GI) remains underdeveloped in current environmental management literature. To address this gap, our study adopts stakeholder theory to develop a moderated mediation model that examines how and under what conditions stakeholder integration influences GI. Using data from 306 Pakistani‐listed manufacturing firms and employing partial least squares path modeling, our findings confirm the positive impact of stakeholder integration on GI and highlight the partial mediating role of organizational learning capability (OLC). Additionally, the results indicate that environmental scanning moderates the relationship between stakeholder integration and OLC. Overall, these insights contribute to business strategy and environmental management literature by illuminating the critical role of stakeholder integration in driving GI and elucidating the underlying mechanisms involving OLC and environmental scanning.

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
