As an important strategic decision for enterprise sustainability, the green entrepreneurial orientation can facilitate boundary-spanning search for external knowledge and resources to achieve triadic sustainable economic, environmental, and social performance. Based on organizational search theory and dynamic capability theory, this study introduces environmental dynamism into the model of the relationship between green entrepreneurial orientation, boundary-spanning search and enterprise triadic sustainable performance. By analyzing the questionnaire data from 202 managers of manufacturing SMEs, the study explores the internal and external influences of green entrepreneurial orientation on the enterprise sustainable performance. The results show that: green entrepreneurial orientation has a positive impact on enterprise economic, environmental and social performance; boundary-spanning search plays a fully mediating role between green entrepreneurial orientation and enterprise economic, environmental and social performance; environmental dynamism, as a key external environmental factor, positively regulates the relationship between boundary-spanning search and enterprise economic performance and environmental performance, and negatively regulates the relationship between boundary-spanning search and social performance. This study clearly demonstrates how green entrepreneurial orientation in the environmental era can drive triadic sustainable performance improvement of enterprises. In addition, this study argues that boundary-spanning search is an important tool that enables manufacturing SMEs to achieve a triad of coordinated sustainable development of economic, environmental and social benefits in a dynamic environment.
作为企业可持续发展的一项重要战略决策，绿色创业导向能够促进跨越边界以搜寻外部知识和资源，从而实现经济、环境和社会三元可持续绩效。基于组织搜寻理论和动态能力理论，本研究将环境动态性引入绿色创业导向、跨越边界搜寻与企业三元可持续绩效之间关系的模型。通过对202家制造业中小企业管理者的问卷调查数据分析，本研究探究了绿色创业导向对企业可持续绩效的内部和外部影响。结果表明：绿色创业导向对企业经济、环境和社会绩效具有正向影响；跨越边界搜寻在绿色创业导向与企业经济、环境和社会绩效之间发挥完全中介作用；环境动态性作为关键的外部环境因素，正向调节跨越边界搜寻与企业经济绩效和环境绩效之间的关系，负向调节跨越边界搜寻与社会绩效之间的关系。本研究清晰地展示了环境时代的绿色创业导向如何推动企业三元可持续绩效的提升。此外，本研究认为跨越边界搜寻是使制造业中小企业在动态环境中实现经济、环境和社会效益三元协同可持续发展的重要工具。
