The capacity to coordinate human capital and knowledge resources to sustainable innovation has emerged as the final boundary to organizational survival in the transition to a global green economy. This research paper explains the strategic design of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM), Green Knowledge Sharing (GKS), and Green Innovation (GI) as an integrated architecture towards the optimal Organizational Environmental Performance (OEP). Based on the Knowledge-Based View (KBV) and the Natural Resource-Based View (NRBV), the study outlines how manufacturing companies develop path-dependent capabilities in which human capital and knowledge intangibles are integrated into ecological excellence. The empirical data were collected via a multi-respondent approach from an initial sample of 500 manufacturing SMEs from China, yielding 309 final valid and complete responses. The outcomes of Covariance-Based Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) conducted via AMOS v.26 demonstrate strong evidence that GHRM positively influences GKS and leads to enhanced green innovation, which subsequently improves OEP. In particular, the results support the view that green knowledge is a strategic-level resource, concomitant with KBV, that enables the smooth incorporation of idiosyncratic environmental knowledge into routine operations. This study provides a clear strategic road map, which holds that the harmonization of human resource systems with knowledge-based resources is the most plausible path to achieving high levels of environmental performance in an ever-more institutionalized, environmentally conscious global supply chain.

The growing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance has become a critical focus for companies striving for sustainability and competitive advantage, particularly in the high-tech manufacturing sector. This study investigates how coopetition capabilities and market orientation shape ESG performance, emphasizing the mediating roles of innovation capabilities, digital infrastructure, and data analytics capabilities (DAC). The research focuses on Chinese SMEs within the high-tech manufacturing industry. The findings reveal that coopetition capabilities positively influence digital infrastructure and innovation capabilities but do not significantly impact DAC. Similarly, market orientation enhances digital infrastructure and innovation capabilities but does not impact DAC. Moreover, digital infrastructure and innovation capabilities contribute significantly to ESG performance, whereas DAC remains decoupled from sustainable outcomes. The interplay between coopetition, market orientation, and ESG outcomes is mediated exclusively through digital infrastructure and innovation capabilities. In this framework, firm size and age emerge as important contextual factors that positively impact ESG performance. This study contributes to the ESG literature by integrating the concepts of coopetition and market orientation, showcasing their pivotal roles in cultivating strategic and technological capabilities geared toward sustainable value creation. The insights underscore that high-tech SMEs can leverage coopetition and market alignment strategies to strengthen innovation and infrastructure, enabling improved ESG performance and supporting long-term sustainable growth.
