Title: | Ecological community logics, identifiable business ownership, and green innovation as a company response | Authors: | BAMMENS, Yannick Hunermund, Paul |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER | Source: | RESEARCH POLICY, 52 (8) (Art N° 104826) | Abstract: | We investigate which companies are more inclined to respond with green innovation to ecological community logics. We propose that the noneconomic utility of doing so - in the form of personal reputation gains for business owners - is greater when owner identifiability is higher, and that owner identifiability therefore intensifies the effect of normative ecological community pressures on firm-level green innovation. Our hypotheses are tested on a sample of over 2800 German firms using instrumental variable regression analyses and we find empirical support for our ideas. This study advances the institutional sustainability literature by explaining how community- and firm-level attributes interact to account for heterogeneity in firms' green innovation activities. | Notes: | Bammens, Y (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Fac Business Econ, Innovat Management Grp, Agoralaan Gebouw D, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. yannick.bammens@uhasselt.be; phu.si@cbs.dk |
