Abstract

Third-party logistics (3pl) significantly impacts various sectors, yet its operations often harm the environment. Consequently, the 3pl sector plays a critical role in driving sustainable development. Green technology innovation (gti) not only mitigates environmental damage but also enhances corporate performance. Despite these benefits, many firms are reluctant to green technology innovation adoption (gtia), and research on the factors influencing its adoption in the 3pl industry remains limited, especially in developing countries. This study addresses these gaps by examining the determinants and outcomes of gtia among chinese 3pl firms. Using the technology-organization-environment (toe) framework and diffusion of innovation (doi) theory, the research explores the effects of organizational support, human resource quality, green internal integration, green supplier integration, and green customer integration on gtia. It also investigates the moderating roles of green creativity and a data-driven culture. This study adopts a cross-sectional design, collecting survey data from 544 chinese 3pl firms to conduct quantitative research. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (pls-sem) revealed that relative advantage, compatibility, organizational support, human resource quality, institutional pressure, and green integrations significantly influence gtia.
