| Abstract | PurposeThis paper aims to examine whether chief executive officer's (CEO) information technology (IT) background can affect enterprises' continuous green innovation (CGI).Design/methodology/approachThis study uses the data of China's listed enterprises from 2011 to 2019.FindingsThe statistical results reveal that when a company hires a CEO with an IT background, its CGI can be higher. Firm ownership, firm digitization and industry bias alter the impact of CEO's IT background on firms' CGI. This effect is most pronounced in non-state-owned enterprises (non-SOEs), high-digitalized enterprises and skill-biased industries, while not in SOEs, low-digitalized enterprises and labor-biased industries.Practical implicationsThis study has practical implications, as it measures CGI of enterprises. It also points to the necessity for a CEO's IT background to enhance CGI.Social implicationsThe findings provide new strategies for incentivizing sustainable development and green innovation.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to discuss the association between CEO's IT background and enterprises' CGI. The conclusions enrich both upper echelons theory and enterprise green innovation literature. |
