Based on upper echelons, paradox, and social capital theory, this study extends the association of CEO vision articulation and feedback-seeking behavior with firm sustainability by identifying the mediating role of eco-innovation and top management team (TMT) boundary-spanning behavior as a moderator. By analyzing the data of mid-sized to large Chinese firms using hierarchical regression and bootstrapping-based moderated path analysis, we found that product and process eco-innovation mediates the link between CEO vision articulation and firm sustainability while CEO feedback-seeking behavior enhances firm's sustainability through product eco-innovation only. Finally, conditional indirect effects show the vital role of TMT boundary-spanning behavior in facilitating CEOs to improve the firm's long-term sustainability through eco-innovation.
基于高层梯队理论、悖论理论和社会资本理论，本研究通过识别生态创新的中介作用以及高层管理团队（TMT）跨界行为作为调节变量，拓展了首席执行官愿景表达和寻求反馈行为与企业可持续性之间的关联。通过使用分层回归和基于自抽样的调节路径分析，对中国大中型企业的数据进行分析，我们发现产品和流程生态创新在首席执行官愿景表达与企业可持续性之间起中介作用，而首席执行官寻求反馈行为仅通过产品生态创新来增强企业的可持续性。最后，条件间接效应表明了高层管理团队跨界行为在促进首席执行官通过生态创新提高企业长期可持续性方面的关键作用。
