AbstractAs an influential economic entity, China's economic growth pattern is changing. The traditional way brought high-speed growth as well as caused environmental damage. The concept of environmental innovation, which combines the advantage of technology innovation and environmental consideration, has become a vital means to achieve sustainable development. Due to the double externality characteristic of environmental innovation, the government plays an important role in its development. Based on provincial panel data from 2008 to 2017, this paper first examines the distinct influences of various economic incentive instruments on environmental innovation. Then, the moderation role of marketization is explored. The results show that governments' direct financial expenditure on environmental protection has a positive impact on environmental innovation, while the effect of the environmental tax is not significant. In addition, the impact is negatively moderated by marketization.

AbstractTo synthesize the literature on upper echelons theory, regulatory focus theory and the resource‐based view, this study examined the relationship of CEOs' regulatory focus, slack resources and firms' environmental innovation. Through the investigation of 191 manufacturing firms in China, we found that a CEO's promotion focus had a positive influence both on the firm's environmental processes and on product innovation, while a CEO's prevention focus had a negative influence. In addition, slack resources moderated the influence of the CEO's promotion focus on a firm's environmental process innovation in a positive way, while also positively moderating the influence of a CEO's prevention focus on a firm's environmental product innovation. Our results indicated that firms could deploy resources based on the CEOs' regulatory focus to facilitate firms' environmental innovation.

As a vital driver of team performance, cognitive diversity is of central interest to managers; however, the way in which cognitive diversity promotes superior team performance remains unclear. In this paper, we present a formal model that suggests the existence of the mediating effect
of alertness in this relationship. A quantitative method with multiple mediation models was applied to a sample of 1,020 members from 191 teams in China. Our results suggested that cognitive diversity had a significantly positive effect on team performance. Moreover, the mediating effects
of the 3 dimensions of alertness (information accumulation, information transformation, and information selection) were verified via a Sobel test. The implications of our findings, the limitations thereof, and possible directions for future research are discussed.
