This study wanted to fill this research gap, and proposed a novel construct GIC to explore the positive relationship between GIC and green innovation. The empirical results of this study showed that the three types of GIC – green human capital(GHC), green structural capital (GSC), and green relational capital(GRC) – had positive effects on green innovation. Moreover, this study found that green a significant association between GIC with green innovation; a strong association was also found between environmental knowledge and learning orientation and green innovation relational capital was the most common among these three types of GIC. In sum, organizations s investing many resources and efforts in GIC could not only meet the trends of strict international environmental regulations and popular environmental consciousness of consumers, but also eventually obtain corporate competitive advantages., organizations can achieve maximum strong excellence and remain in a competitive market.
