Abstract

Drawing upon resource dependence theory and the transaction cost theory, the research investigates how green supplier integration (GSI) influences economic performance, the mediating roles of knowledge sharing (KS) and inter‐organizational conflict (IOC), and the moderating role of organizational compatibility (OC). We use a two‐stage questionnaire survey to collect data from managers of green manufacturing enterprises. Using the hierarchical regression method through SPSS software to analyze the collected data, the results showed that KS has a positive mediating effect, while IOC has a negative mediating effect. Additionally, OC strengthens the impact of GSI on KS and IOC. This study contributes to the literature by constructing a dual‐path model of the mediating role of KS and IOC. A deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges of GSI can provide practical implications of how to improve economic performance through GSI for manufacturing enterprises. From a perspective of compatibility, examining the boundary conditions for GSI can help managers attend to the heterogeneity of strategies, cultures, and knowledge that need to be addressed in the GSI process, so as to reduce conflicts with partners in green practices and achieve sustainable green goals.
