From Generative AI Adoption to Sustainable Performance Operations Capability Mediation and Environmental Dynamism — He & Yang (2025)
Enterprises are rapidly scaling generative artificial intelligence, yet evidence is mixed on whether adoption translates into measurable sustainability gains and under what conditions such gains arise. This study theorizes and tests a capability-based pathway in which adoption improves operations capability, which in turn enhances sustainable performance, with the payoff contingent on environmental dynamism. We assemble a multi-year panel of publicly listed manufacturing firms in China and construct firm-year measures for generative artificial intelligence adoption, operations capability…
