Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified
Identified Weaknesses
The study is limited to large manufacturing firms in Malaysia, which restricts the generalizability of the findings to other industries or geographical contexts.
The paper acknowledges the potential for common method bias but relies solely on Herman's single-factor method for assessment. This method might not fully capture all aspects of CMB, and more robust techniques could have been employed.
Lack of Differentiation in GI
The study doesn't differentiate between exploitative and exploratory green innovation, which could have different implications for environmental performance and mediating roles.
Superficial Analysis of Environmental Strategies
The analysis of companies' environmental strategies lacks depth and could have been further explored to provide more practical insights.
Rating Explanation
The paper presents a well-structured model and analysis of the complex relationships between green innovation, intellectual capital, human resource management, and environmental performance. The findings offer valuable theoretical and practical implications for promoting sustainable practices. The study's limitations, such as limited generalizability and superficial analysis of environmental strategies, prevent a perfect score.
