Exploring high-performance green innovation in China’s logistics companies: a TOE framework based on fsQCA

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

In recent years, the Chinese logistics industry has experienced rapid development. However, this expansion is accompanied by significant challenges, including high energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite these issues, key factors improving firms’ green innovation remain insufficiently explored. This study fills gap utilizing Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework as a foundation, introducing comprehensive analytical model to investigate dynamics of in companies. Moreover, after employing fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) with data from 83 firms China, research examines complex interplay between technological, organizational, environmental their strategic influence on performance. The yields three pivotal findings: (1) High-level performance not predicated single factor. (2) Logistics can attain superior through two driving paths: Core competencies market pressure driven well technological government subsidies driven. (3) analysis low-level reveals that four distinct paths culminate outcome, lack digitalization, organizational slack, being instrumental result. These insights highlight principles “multiple concurrency” “different leading same goal,” significantly enhancing current knowledge base deepening our understanding multifaceted drivers high-performance discoveries offer practical implications for improve within industry.

Design/methodology/approach respondents online questionnaire survey conducted spring 2024 are Republic. About 500 valid responses were obtained, mainly small manufacturing businesses. hypotheses statistically verified. To analyse relationships between variables, coefficients used (Pearson’s, Spearman’s, Gamma, Kendall’s or Kruskal–Wallis test). Factor analysis was identify hidden variables may explain observed variables. Findings Key findings related approaches generations owned and managed implementation digitization, influence non-family managers owners, main barriers expected benefits. finding that, large distance, attitudes historically young businesses do not differ much those countries can be considered novelties.

However, existing research limited by its single-perspective approach, insufficient exploration mechanisms, weak heterogeneity analysis, which restricts comprehensivethe comprehensiveness our understanding policy effects. To address these gaps, this study first to integrate macro-regional data with micro-enterprise behavior, evaluating impact on from dual macro–micro perspective, thereby filling void in integration. At macro level, employs panel 281 Chinese cities spanning 2007 2020, using fixed-effects difference-in-differences (DID) models assess efficiency. micro game-theoretic pricing decision model constructed reveal behavioral differences among enterprises complete incomplete information markets their indirect effects The findings indicate that significantly enhances efficiency, technological innovation, finance, industrial structural upgrading serving as mediating mechanisms. Heterogeneity analysis shows are more pronounced eastern, non-resource-based, small-to-medium-sized, non-old cities. further demonstrates effectively indirectly enhance through By combining perspectives, provides new theoretical framework practical insights CET. limitations such confined pilots simplifications remain.
