Government support, eco-regulation and eco-innovation adoption in SMEs: The mediating role of eco-environmental

Open access

Abstract

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in economic development and sustainability. In Indonesia, SMEs account for a significant portion of the economy but face challenges in adapting to eco-innovation practices. To address this issue, this study examines the role of eco-regulation and government support in promoting eco-innovation adaptation among SMEs in Indonesia. We also explore the moderating effect of eco-environmental factors, including eco-customers, eco-managerial, eco-competition, and eco-process innovation. We collect data from 859 SMEs in Indonesia and use the Structural Equal Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method to analyze the data. We measure eco-regulation and government support as independent variables and eco-environmental factors as moderating variables. We use eco-innovation adaptation as the dependent variable. Our results show that eco-regulation and government support have a positive effect on eco-environmental factors, except for eco-customers. We also find that eco-environmental factors have a positive impact on eco-innovation adaptation. Furthermore, we find that eco-regulation and government support indirectly influence eco-innovation adaptation through the mediation of eco-environmental factors. In conclusion, our study highlights the importance of eco-regulation and government support in promoting eco-innovation adaptation among SMEs in Indonesia. We find that eco-environmental factors mediate the relationship between eco-regulation and government support and eco-innovation adaptation. Our study provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to enhance SMEs' eco-innovation practices and promote sustainable development.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
