Abstract

The study investigates the moderating role of eco-dynamic capability which mainly involves the amalgamation, construction and reconfiguration of internal and external resources that relate to ecological protection in the link between eco-intellectual capital and sustainability performance of Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Primary data were solicited by resorting to the use of structured questionnaire from 500 employees and owner-managers of SMEs. Hierarchical multiple regression was applied to test all the hypotheses. The study exposed that the interactions of the moderating variable (eco-dynamic capability) and eco-intellectual capital show significant effects on the economic and environmental sustainability performance dimensions. However, on the occasion of social sustainability performance, this was not observed. Thus, eco-intellectual capital could empower organisations to adapt to strict global ecological conventions to fulfil increasing ecological awareness leading to green innovation. This study is among the rare studies that investigates the moderating role of eco-dynamic capability in the relationship between eco-intellectual capital and sustainability performance of an organisation.
