Green innovation and organisational resilience capacity: the moderating roles of relational ties

Abstract

ABSTRACT Building organisational resilience capacity is crucial for firms’ survival in the pandemic context. Using data from 205 Chinese firms during the COVID-19 pandemic, we investigate the relationships between two types of green innovations and organisational resilience capacity, and their contingencies upon firms’ customer ties and supplier ties. The empirical findings show that: green product innovation and green process innovation positively impact organisational resilience capacity; customer ties/supplier ties positively/negatively moderate the green product innovation–organisational resilience capacity, and negatively/positively moderate the relation between green process innovation and organisational resilience capacity.
