Summary: This study examines the impact of green entrepreneurship, innovation, and managerial environmental concern on hotels' environmental and organizational performance. Data collected from 271 hotel employees through an online survey questionnaire were analyzed using PLS-SEM.

Summary: The increasing pressures from various stakeholders have urged manufacturing firms to adopt environmentally friendly production methods and pursue green innovation in developing countries. However, little research has been conducted on the relationship between green supply chain management (GSCM), green human capital (GHC), green innovation (GIN), managerial environmental knowledge (MEK), and firm performance (FPR). This study fills this research gap by providing empirical evidence that implementing GSCM, GHC, GIN, and MEK can substantially enhance FPR. The findings suggest that GIN mediates the link between GHC, GSCM, and FPR, while MEK directly affects FPR and moderates the relationship between GIN and FPR. The study has both theoretical and managerial implications, and the results can benefit practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders seeking to improve FPR.

Summary: Innovation is crucial for companies seeking competitive advantage and survival. Drawing on the resource-based view and social exchange theory, this study explores whether the relationship between knowledge sharing and firm innovation performance is influenced by network trust and hierarchical culture. Using survey data from 151 Chinese high-tech employees, the study finds that: 1) knowledge sharing impacts firm innovation performance; 2) knowledge sharing influences network trust; 3) network trust plays a significant mediating role in the knowledge sharing-firm innovation performance relationship; 4) network trust affects firm innovation performance; 5) hierarchical culture moderates the relationship between network trust and firm innovation performance. The study proposes a moderated mediation model to illustrate the linkages among knowledge sharing, network trust, hierarchical culture, and innovation performance, providing guidance for achieving superior innovation outcomes in the high-tech sector.
