Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of Green SCM technological innovations on corporate sustainability performance in the era of the 4IR. Furthermore, it seeks to examine the mediating effect of Green Dynamic Capabilities and the moderated mediating effect of government technology support in this process.
Research design, data and methodology : This paper conducted a survey targeting small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises in Shandong Province, China, and collected a total of 282 valid data sets. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS 28.0 and the extension program Process Macro ver. 3.5.
Results : First, Green SCM technological innovation significantly enhances Green Dynamic Capabilities. Second, Green SCM technological innovation has a significant positive impact on sustainability performance. Third, in the relationship between Green SCM technological innovation and sustainability performance, Green Dynamic Capabilities have a significant mediating effect. Lastly, depending on Green Dynamic Capabilities, government technology support has a statistically significant moderated mediating effect in the relationship pathway impacting sustainability performance.
Conclusions : Implementing innovations in Green SCM contributes to the enhancement of an enterprise's Green Dynamic Capabilities and improves sustainable outcomes. Therefore, small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises should actively incorporate advanced technologies into Green SCM to enhance supply chain efficiency while mitigating environmental impacts.
