Mediating Effects of CEO Power on Green Innovation and Organizational Performance in Manufacturing

Abstract

In manufacturing, the mediating effects of CEO power on green innovation and organizational performance represent a critical area of study. CEO power, encompassing both formal authority and informal influence, plays a pivotal role in shaping organizational strategies toward sustainability and innovation. Green innovation initiatives, aimed at reducing environmental impact through product redesign, process optimization, and adoption of eco-friendly technologies, are increasingly recognized as drivers of competitive advantage and operational efficiency in the manufacturing sector. The extent to which CEO power influences the adoption and success of these initiatives can significantly impact organizational performance metrics such as profitability, market share, and reputation. Understanding these mediating effects provides valuable insights into how leadership dynamics within manufacturing firms can be leveraged to foster sustainable practices and enhance overall organizational outcomes in today's competitive global market.
