CEO Power and its Mediational Effect on Green Innovation and Organizational Performance in Manufacturing

Abstract

CEO power plays a crucial role in shaping organizational dynamics, particularly in the realm of green innovation and overall organizational performance within the manufacturing sector. CEOs wield significant influence over strategic decisions, resource allocation, and organizational culture, all of which are pivotal in fostering initiatives toward sustainability and innovation. This study examines how CEO power mediates the relationship between green innovation initiatives and organizational performance metrics. By analyzing the leadership dynamics and their impact on sustainability efforts, this research aims to provide insights into how CEOs can effectively drive green innovation strategies that not only enhance environmental sustainability but also bolster the long-term competitiveness and performance of manufacturing firms.
