۱٫ Introduction

The growing concerns for the environment have been imposing great pressures on companies to implement new models focusing on environmental sustainability rather than traditional models that focus on efficiency and profit only. This major strategic change urges companies to find a win–win solution to mitigate the conflicts between environmental management and economic performance (Chang, 2011). Green innovation has been suggested by researchers as a strategic tool to maintain sustainable development while achieving competitive advantages (Liu, 2020). Green innovation is regarded as a promising way to achieve economic development and sustainability simultaneously because of its emphasis on product differentiation, new-market entry strategies, cost-saving techniques, and high-level management capabilities (Porter and van der Linde, 1995). Green innovations can improve resource productivity by enhancing product value which offsets the extra costs of environmental investments (Porter and van der Linde, 1995). In today’s business environment, it is critical for companies to embrace green innovation in order to prosper financially and environmentally as well. However, research dealing with the inherent drivers or antecedents of green innovation is rare. Many studies have focused on external factors as the drivers in improving green innovation, such as government regulations, stakeholders’ pressures, etc. (Provasnek et al., 2017; Yu et al., 2017).
