Abstract: Knowledge learning is a vital pre-factor and the driving force of green enterprise innovation; hence, meriting the numerous academic research and accumulated relevant literature. In this paper, the meta-analysis methodology was used to explore the direction and intensity of the influence of knowledge learning on green enterprise innovation, taking 32 independent documents as research samples. Meta-analysis results showed that the search breadth and the search depth of green resources and the green resources absorption and integration have significant positive effects on the green innovation of enterprises, among which green resources absorption and integration were the most important. Further, the research on the moderating effect found that the measurement method of green innovation affected the relationship between knowledge learning and green enterprise innovation; however, the moderating effect of the research object was not pronounced.

Keywords: knowledge learning; green resource search depth; green resource search breadth; green resource absorption and integration; green innovation of enterprises; meta-analysis (search for similar items in EconPapers)
