Abstract: Environmental management and green practices have a narrow linkage with firm innovativeness. Companies that are pioneers in green innovation strategies might reach and sustain competitive advantages. Thus, successful green innovation performance (GIP) helps firms to achieve greater efficiency as well as to establish and strengthen their core competences. This study focuses on the dynamic capabilities (DC) and ordinary capabilities (OC) like antecedents of GIP, and the relationship between these constructs. Proposing a mediation model to analyze both direct and indirect relationships, this study applies variance-based structural equation modeling through a partial least squares to a sample of 112 firms from the Spanish automotive components' manufacturing sector. The results suggest that both the direct effect and indirect effect of capabilities (DC and OC) on GIP are positive and significant, and improve the prediction of firm's GIP. Furthermore, the structural model supports that DC influence GIP by reconfiguring relationship-learning capabilities (a type of OC).
