Stakeholder pressure and public awareness of environmental protection drive organizations to improve environmental practices in the supply chain (SC), such as green supply chain integration (GSCI) and green innovation (GI). The use of information technology (IT) is crucial to manufacturing organizations' GSCI and performance. However, the research on the relationship between IT capabilities, GSCI, GI and organizational performance is still limited. Therefore, empirical research is needed on the cognitive thinking of employees using IT capabilities to improve GSCI and organizational performance. The data for this study comes from SC personnel in manufacturing organizations through a structured questionnaires and was analyzed by employing structural equation modeling. Based on the results, this paper concludes that organizational IT capabilities positively affect the GSCI and improve organizational performance (environmental and operational performance). Furthermore, the study discovered that GI increases organizational performance and acts as a positive mediator in the link between GSCI and performance. The findings contribute to existing GSCI and GI knowledge, which can provide a bird's eye-view to develop an organization's IT capabilities to achieve competitive performance goals.
利益相关者的压力以及公众对环境保护的意识促使组织改善供应链（SC）中的环境实践，例如绿色供应链整合（GSCI）和绿色创新（GI）。信息技术（IT）的应用对于制造企业的绿色供应链整合和绩效至关重要。然而，关于IT能力、绿色供应链整合、绿色创新与组织绩效之间关系的研究仍然有限。因此，需要开展实证研究，以探究员工利用IT能力提升绿色供应链整合和组织绩效的认知思维。本研究的数据来自制造企业的供应链人员，通过结构化问卷收集，并采用结构方程模型进行分析。基于研究结果，本文得出结论：组织的IT能力对绿色供应链整合具有积极影响，并能提升组织绩效（环境绩效和运营绩效）。此外，研究发现绿色创新能够提升组织绩效，并在绿色供应链整合与绩效之间的联系中起到正向中介作用。这些研究结果丰富了现有的绿色供应链整合和绿色创新知识，可为企业发展IT能力以实现竞争绩效目标提供宏观视角。
