Abstract: In the current situation where organisations in general and educational institutions in particular, are achieving economic benefits at the cost of the environment, there is a need to have innovations to a substantial extent that can reduce environmental pollution and improve the economic benefits. The current study is an attempt to identify the potential contribution of technology innovation in driving sustainability, especially when it is powered by Political Influence, Performance-based budgeting, and organisational culture in educational institutions from China. Based on the data of 472 respondents, the application of PLS-SEM has reported significant associations among the proposed hypotheses. The findings revealed that all of the three measures, political influence, performance-based budgeting, and organisational culture, have significant effects on enhancing the level of technology innovation. Moreover, technology innovation also improves the organisation’s sustainable performance, which includes economic, environmental, and social. Based on the findings, the organisations in general and educational institutions in particular, are recommended to cultivate a culture encouraging technology innovation. In contrast, management is recommended to have performance-based budgeting to improve productivity and the level of efficiency.
