Party Organization Embeddedness and Corporate Green Innovation

Abstract

This study examines the influence of party organization embeddedness of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on corporate green innovation from two perspectives: structural embeddedness and relational embeddedness of the party organization, and analyzes the mediating role of internal control in both. The findings suggest that party organization embeddedness can promote corporate green innovation. Moreover, internal control serves to mediate this relationship partially, as party organization embeddedness enhances the effectiveness of corporate internal controls, which in turn, promotes green innovation.
