Purpose

This paper aims to explore how the three components of intellectual capital (IC) (human, structural and relational) are related to corporate innovation and how effective knowledge management can improve business performance, innovation and environmental compliance. Additionally, the study investigates the influence of environmental compliance on overall business performance.

Design/methodology/approach

The organizational resource-based view was used to develop a theoretical model and accompanying hypotheses. A survey design approach was used to collect data and evaluate the model. The predicted relationships were tested by structural equation modeling using data acquired from members of management teams in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector.

Findings

The three components of IC have significant positive effects on business performance. In addition, corporate innovation, knowledge management success (KMS) and environmental compliance all significantly increase business performance. Moreover, KMS indirectly enhances business performance through innovation and environmental compliance.

Research limitations/implications

This study provides useful insights into knowledge management, innovation and environmental compliance for administrators, practitioners and scholars. The results support practical advice for how firms can integrate KMS strategies into their operations, improve environmental compliance and increase business success.

Originality/value

The links between IC, knowledge management, innovation and environmental compliance are of ongoing interest to organizational scholars. However, empirical research on the relationships of these factors with business performance has been limited. This study investigates these links and offers factual evidence for them.

释放企业潜力：智力资本、知识管理和环境合规性在增强创新和绩效方面的相互作用

目的

本文旨在探讨智力资本（IC）的三个组成部分（人力、结构和关系）如何与企业创新相关，以及有效的知识管理如何提高企业绩效、创新和环境合规性。此外，该研究还调查了环境合规性对整体业务绩效的影响。

设计/方法论/途径

基于组织资源的观点被用来开发理论模型和相关假设。使用调查设计方法来收集数据并评估模型。使用从越南制造业管理团队成员获得的数据，通过结构方程模型测试了预测的关系。

发现

IC的三个组成部分对企业绩效具有显着的积极影响。此外，企业创新、知识管理成功（KMS）和环境合规性都显着提高了业务绩效。此外，KMS 通过创新和环境合规性间接提高业务绩效。

研究局限性/影响

这项研究为管理者、从业者和学者提供了关于知识管理、创新和环境合规性的有用见解。研究结果为企业如何将 KMS 战略融入其运营、提高环境合规性和增加业务成功提供了实用建议。

原创性/价值

IC、知识管理、创新和环境合规之间的联系一直是组织学者的兴趣所在。然而，关于这些因素与企业绩效关系的实证研究还很有限。这项研究调查了这些联系并为它们提供了事实证据。
