CEO’s time perspective influence on green innovation

This study examines whether and how the CEO’s time perspective affects corporate green innovation. We document a significant positive relationship between the CEO time perspective and green innovation in Chinese manufacturing-listed firms. Furthermore, consistent with the view that the CEO’s time perspective is a significant factor influencing corporate green innovation when resources are plentiful, we find that this positive association is stronger when firms have fewer financial constraints. Overall, our research shows that the CEO’s time perspective promotes green innovation in emerging economies.
