Abstract

Sustainable development (SD) is the foremost requirement for the environmental sustainability and this aspect needs the attention of recent studies and policymakers. Hence, the present study examines the impact of green technology adoption (GTA), green dynamic capabilities (GDC) on the green competitive advantage (GCA) and SD of manufacturing companies in China. The study also investigates the mediating role of GCA among GTA, dynamic capabilities and SD and also checks the moderating role of organizational commitment among GCA and SD. The study gets the primary data from the employees of manufacturing companies in China using survey questionnaires. The study also used the smart-PLS to check the nexus among the variables. The outcomes indicated that the GTA and dynamic capabilities has a positive association with GCA and SD. The outcomes also exposed that the GCA significantly mediates and organizational commitment significantly moderates among variables. The study provides the guidelines to the policymakers in making the policies related to enhance the SD using GTA and dynamic capabilities.
