Entrepreneurial Orientation and the Triple Bottom Line: Does Supply Chain Learning Matter?
研究了创业导向如何通过供应链学习影响企业的环境、社会和财务绩效（三重底线），发现供应链学习在创业导向与环境及业务绩效之间起中介作用，但对社会绩效无直接影响。
The link between entrepreneurial orientation and performance has been much discussed and debated in the academic literature; however, there is a scarcity of research related to its impact on the triple bottom line. As entrepreneurial orientation has become a source of competitive advantage, increased attention is given to the mechanisms linking it with superior sustainability performance. In this article, we examine the conduit role that supply chain learning plays in translating entrepreneurial orientation into the performance dimensions of the triple bottom line. Using structural equation modeling with latent interactions on 526 firms, across nine countries, we found that entrepreneurial orientation boosts the supply chain learning process and impacts environmental and business performance. Although entrepreneurial orientation did not have an impact on social performance dimension, the supply chain learning acted as a mediator of the entrepreneurial orientation and the triple bottom line link. The proposed study extends the literature by disentangling the supply chain mechanisms through which firms may enhance the impact of entrepreneurial orientation on the triple bottom line.
