Green supply chain integration has become the key for manufacturing firms to cope with environmental challenges and gain sustainable competitiveness, but increasing the intention of firms to implement green supply chain integration is still a significant challenge. To respond to this issue, this study aims to theoretically discuss and empirically investigate the influence mechanism of institutional pressures on corporate green supply chain integration intention based on the theory of planned behavior. This study used a survey method to collect data from Chinese manufacturing firms, and the 292 finalized responses were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS. The findings indicate that institutional pressures, i.e., coercive and normative pressures, positively affect firms' intention to implement green supply chain integration. The study also exposed the executives' environmental awareness positively moderates the effect of coercive and normative pressures on green supply chain integration intention. Furthermore, executives' self-efficacy positively moderates the effect of normative pressure on green supply chain integration intention. The findings of this study help deepen the understanding of the formation mechanism of green supply chain integration intention, which provides practical insights for effectively promoting green supply chain integration and realizing green transformation and high-quality development of manufacturing enterprises.
绿色供应链整合已成为制造企业应对环境挑战并获得可持续竞争力的关键，但提高企业实施绿色供应链整合的意愿仍是一项重大挑战。为应对这一问题，本研究旨在基于计划行为理论，从理论上探讨并实证研究制度压力对企业绿色供应链整合意愿的影响机制。本研究采用调查方法从中国制造业企业收集数据，并使用SPSS和AMOS对最终得到的292份回复进行分析。研究结果表明，制度压力，即强制压力和规范压力，对企业实施绿色供应链整合的意愿有积极影响。研究还发现，高管的环境意识对强制压力和规范压力对绿色供应链整合意愿的影响具有正向调节作用。此外，高管的自我效能感对规范压力对绿色供应链整合意愿的影响具有正向调节作用。本研究的结果有助于加深对绿色供应链整合意愿形成机制的理解，为有效推动绿色供应链整合、实现制造企业绿色转型和高质量发展提供实践启示。
