Title Do institutional dimensions play a role in IT firms' performance? Determining the influence of green entrepreneurial orientation and dynamic capabilities in a developing context
Year 2024
Published
Abstract PurposeDrawing an inference from institutional theory and dynamic capabilities view, this study empirically examined the impact of three institutional dimensions (regulative, normative and cognitive) and green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) on a business firm's performance. In addition, the moderating effect of dynamic capabilities on the relationship between GEO and firm performance was also explored.Design/methodology/approachThe data were collected from 527 information technology (IT) firms in Pakistan using paper-pencil questionnaires, and the hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings showed that the regulative and normative institutional dimensions enhance GEO and firm performance in the selected developing country. However, the cognitive institutional dimension fails to report any substantial influence on GEO and firm performance. The findings raised concerns about lower individual accountability as well as the promotion of green practices and firm performance. In addition, dynamic capabilities positively moderate the GEO influence on firm performance.Originality/valueWith the interplay of institutional dimensions, GEO (as mediator) and dynamic capabilities (as moderator), this study developed and tested a unique framework to understand their influence on firm performance. Specifically, we extended the literature by giving evidence that among the three institutional dimensions, only regulative and normative are considered more important because of their direct and indirect (through GEO) positive effect on firm performance. In contrast, the cognitive institutional dimension failed to report any significant direct or indirect impact on firm performance in our study.
