“走向绿色”已成为当今世界商业实践中的一个重要环境问题。本研究考察了一系列因素对绿色创新的影响及其在绩效方面的后果。采用利益相关者理论观察各利益相关者对企业绿色创新实践的影响，确定绿色创新实践对环境绩效和企业绩效的影响。提出了一个包含八个假设的研究模型，以确定感兴趣的变量之间的关联。本研究以202家台湾服务业与制造业企业为对象进行实证调查。调查发现，来自竞争对手和政府的压力，以及员工的行为，都对绿色创新实践产生了显著的积极影响。创新导向的调节作用仅存在于绿色产品创新实践与员工行为的关系中。本研究不仅为分析绿色创新实践的效果提供了一种系统的方法，而且为企业采用绿色创新实践提供了最佳途径。
“Going green” has become an important environmental issue in contemporary business practice worldwide. This study examined the influence of a number of factors on green innovation and the consequences in terms of performance. The stakeholder theory was adopted to observe the effects of each stakeholder on the green innovation practices of companies and to determine how green innovation practices influence environmental and business performance. A research model with eight hypotheses was proposed to determine the associations between the variables of interest. An empirical survey was conducted of 202 Taiwanese service and manufacturing companies. The survey found that pressure from competitors and the government, along with employee conduct, all had significant and positive effects on green innovation practices. Additionally, a moderating effect of innovation orientation existed only in the relationship between green product innovation practices and employee conduct. This study not only provides a systematic way to analyze the effects of green innovation practices but also suggests the best means for companies to adopt green innovation practices.
