The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Green Technological Innovation: A Study on the Moderating Role of Corporate Social Capital

This study examines the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on green technological innovation (GTI) and the moderating role of corporate social capital. It finds that CSR activities significantly foster GTI by creating a favorable internal environment through enhanced corporate culture and employee engagement. Moreover, different dimensions of corporate social capital, like vertical relational capital with suppliers and customers and horizontal relational capital with other companies, play complex moderating roles in the CSR-GTI relationship. The research underscores the importance of CSR in promoting sustainable corporate development and reveals the critical role of social capital in enhancing CSR and technological innovation.
