Unlocking enterprise performance: The mediated moderation of green supply chain practices and knowledge management on innovation through technological turbulence

Sustainability-oriented capabilities and high-performing enterprises in technologically turbulent business environments represent a major research issue particularly in emerging industrial settings like China. This research examines the role of green supply-chain practices (GSCP), knowledge-management capability (KMC), and enterprise-management support (EMS) on enterprise performance (EP) through the mediation of innovation capability (IC), while considering the moderating role of technological turbulence (TT). Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT), the former conceptualizes GSCP, KMC, and EMS as strategic organizational resources, whereas the latter describes how firms dynamically reorganize these resources in response to the quickly evolving technological environments. In this study, data from 630 respondents who worked in the managerial positions in manufacturing and service sector across China were gathered using quantitative cross-sectional survey. . Measurement items deriving from existing scales were tested using a seven-point Likert response scale. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in Smart-PLS 4.0 was used to porcess the data Findings reveal that GSCP, KMC and EMS have strong positive impacts on IC which subsequently boosts EP, whereas, TT reinforces the association between IC and EP, denoting that robust IC improves the performance of firms in the context of rapidly changing technologies. These findings highlight the significant role of IC in converting sustainability-oriented resources and knowledge-based abilities into quantifiable organizational results. On the management front, the results underscore the importance of incorporating green supply-chain activities with knowledge-management activities and management support to develop innovation-based competitiveness. Practically, for policymakers, achieving sustainable industrial growth might be facilitated through supporting organizational innovation and green operations. Future studies could further develop the framework to examine how these dynamics vary over time, and how sector specific factors and other environmental contingencies affecting the capability-innovation-performance nexus.
