本文研究了（1）外部压力、内部因素和企业家的环境态度对小微企业环境主动战略的影响;（2）环境主动战略是否影响环境投资和环境绩效。这项研究是基于在意大利进行的一项调查，并使用结构方程模型测试的假设。研究结果强调，外部压力和企业家的态度是小型和微型企业环保积极性的最重要预测因素。研究结果还证实了环境积极性和环境投资以及环境绩效之间的正相关关系。然而，环境投资对环境绩效有很大的影响。因此，小型和微型企业对环境管理的承诺似乎已经落实，表明已经开始采取一些实质性行动。Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons，Ltd和ERP环境
The paper investigates (1) the influence of external pressures, internal factors, and environmental attitudes of entrepreneurs on environmental proactive strategy in small and micro firms and (2) whether environmental proactive strategy impacts environmental investment and environmental performance. The study is based on a survey conducted in Italy and tests the set of hypotheses using a structural equations model. The results underline that external pressures and entrepreneurs’ attitudes are the most important predictors of environmental proactivity both for small and micro firms. The results also confirm a positive relationship between environmental proactivity and environmental investments as well as environmental performance. Yet, environmental investments show a strong influence on environmental performance. Commitment to environmental management by small and micro firms appears thus on the ground, showing that some substantive actions have started to be developed.
