Abstract

Numerous Chinese manufacturing organizations are grappling with the challenge of absorbing and using greeninformation acquisitionacross the supply chain to achieve excellent firm performance. Utilizing the organizational learning theory's indirect stream of research, we address this research gap by developing a moderated-mediation framework to investigate the impact of green information acquisitionand institutionalpressure on a firm's performance. Hypotheses are evaluated by takinga sample of 567 manufacturing enterprises in China. Structural equation modeling (SEM) has been applied to analyze and investigate the proposed hypotheses. Empirical results indicate that absorptive capacity significantly mediates the relationship between green information acquisition and firm performance. In a similar vein, institutional pressure significantly moderates the relationship between green information acquisition and firm performance. Study findings have essential managerial recommendationsfor Chinese manufacturing enterprises, proposing that they considerably enhance their absorptive capacity and continuously monitor institutionalpressure to reap the advantages of green information acquisitionon firm performance.
