Abstract

This study examines how Zero-Waste Management (ZWM) and Green Innovative Supply Chain Management (GISCM) influence environmental and operational performance through the mediating role of Green Dynamic Capabilities (GDCs). Building on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory (DCT), the study develops a model that explains how firms translate green practices into superior performance outcomes. Using survey data from 132 manufacturing firms in Oman and covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM), the results demonstrate that both ZWM and GISCM significantly enhance sustainable performance, with GISCM exerting the stronger overall effect. Moreover, GDC fully mediates the relationship between ZWM and operational performance and partially mediates the GISCM–performance links. These findings highlight that sustainability-driven outcomes depend on firms’ abilities to sense, seize, and reconfigure resources for continuous environmental innovation. The study advances theory by integrating RBV and DCT within the green operations context and provides practical insights for managers in emerging economies on developing dynamic and learning-based capabilities to achieve sustainable manufacturing competitiveness.
