Cross-sectional survey reveals climate perception moderates innovation and leadership effects on firm performance, highlighting the need to integrate climate strategy.

Key Points

To evaluate the moderating effect of climate perception on how process innovation and management support influence environmental and financial performance in manufacturing firms.
Conducted an explanatory survey using stratified random sampling among N=342 respondents from ISO 9001-certified manufacturing companies in Ghana.
Analyzed structural relationships and moderating pathways using partial least squares structural equation modeling (SmartPLS-SEM).
Process innovation significantly influenced environmental performance but demonstrated no direct effect on financial performance.
Management support positively influenced both environmental performance and financial performance.
Climate perception significantly moderated the relationships between process innovation and financial performance, process innovation and environmental performance, and management support and financial performance, but did not moderate the link between management support and environmental performance.
