Abstract

Based on theories such as resource concordance, this paper adopts a combination of theoretical exposition and empirical testing to explore how entrepreneurial spiritual capital exerts influence on corporate green innovation through the mediating variable of resource concordance. And on this basis, three institutional pressures, namely normative pressure, regulatory pressure and imitative pressure, are introduced as moderating variables to observe the influence of institutional pressure, an external factor, on the mechanism of spiritual leadership's effect on corporate green innovation. This study adopts the way of questionnaire survey, with manufacturing enterprises as the research sample, this questionnaire was issued 550 copies, 483 copies of questionnaires were recovered, after eliminating the questionnaires with strong regularity and incomplete filling, the final number of valid samples obtained was 416, and the samples collected through the questionnaire survey were examined by using the software of Amos24.0 and SPSS27.0 (with Process4.1 plug-in). The samples collected through the questionnaire survey were analyzed by using Amos24.0, SPSS27.0 (with Process4.1 plug-in) software to conduct common method bias test, reliability and validity test, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. Through empirical research, this study presents the following results: (1) entrepreneurial spiritual capital has a significant positive effect on resource concertation and green innovation; (2) resource concertation plays a partially mediating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and green innovation; (3) regulatory pressure plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and resource concertation; (4) regulatory pressure plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and resource concertation; (5) regulatory pressure plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and resource concertation. play a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and resource concertina; (5) imitative pressure plays a positive moderating role between entrepreneurial spiritual capital and resource concertina.
