Abstract

Despite the importance of green supplier integration, how different governance mechanisms affect its influence on environmental innovation is still debated. This article explores the moderating effect of governance mechanisms (i.e., relational norms and contractual control) on the effects of green supplier integration and two dimensions of environmental innovation (i.e., environmental incremental and radical innovation), as well as the moderating roles of trust on the above moderating effects. We examine hypothesized relationships using two-waved survey data from 206 Chinese manufacturing enterprises. Our results suggest that contractual control positively moderates the impact of green supplier integration on environmental incremental innovation, whereas relational norms negatively moderate this impact. However, both relational norms and contractual control fail to moderate the impact of green supplier integration and environmental radical innovation. Further, trust in supplier strengthens the negative moderating effect of relational norms on the impact of green supplier integration on environmental radical innovation, which reveals the “dark side” of trust in supplier.

绿色供应商整合与中国企业环境创新:治理机制与信任的共同效应

尽管绿色供应商整合的重要性，但不同的治理机制如何影响其对环境创新的影响仍存在争议。本文探讨了治理机制(即关系规范和契约控制)对绿色供应商整合和环境创新两个维度(即环境渐进式创新和突破性创新)的调节作用，以及信任对上述调节作用的调节作用。我们使用来自206家中国制造企业的两波调查数据来检验假设的关系。研究结果表明，契约控制正向调节绿色供应商整合对环境增量创新的影响，而关系规范则负向调节这种影响。然而，关系规范和契约控制都不能调节绿色供应商整合和环境激进创新的影响。此外，供应商信任强化了关系规范对绿色供应商整合对环境突破性创新影响的负向调节作用，揭示了供应商信任的“阴暗面”。
