The Mediational Pathway from CEO Power to Organizational Performance via Green Innovation in Manufacturing

Abstract

The mediational pathway from CEO power to organizational performance via green innovation in manufacturing explores the pivotal role of executive leadership in fostering sustainable practices within industrial settings. CEOs wielding significant influence can champion green innovation initiatives, thereby driving organizational performance through enhanced environmental stewardship and operational efficiency. By integrating environmentally friendly practices into manufacturing processes, such as reducing carbon footprint or optimizing resource utilization, companies not only mitigate ecological impacts but also improve profitability and competitiveness. This research underscores how CEO empowerment in promoting green innovation directly correlates with positive organizational outcomes, highlighting a strategic alignment between environmental responsibility and business success in the manufacturing sector.
