Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study aimed to examine the effects of talent team participation and team vision and expectation on environmental performance of educational organizations in Heilongjiang Province, China, with innovation and information technology capabilities as the mediators. The quantitative research method was used to collect data from 848 university executives and supervisors. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the causal relationship. The results showed that team participation (direct path value = 0.225, t value = 5.377, p < .001) and team vision and expectation (direct path value = 0.107, t value = 2.860, p = .004) had direct effects on environmental performance. In addition, ICT capabilities acted as a significant mediating variable between team participation and environmental performance (indirect path value = 0.168, t value = 7.464, p < .001) and between team vision and environmental performance (indirect path value = 0.169, t value = 7.496, p < .001). The findings highlight the role of information technology in enhancing sustainable environmental management. The findings can be used as a framework for the development of policies and strategies that promote team participation and the use of innovation to enhance environmental performance in educational organizations. In addition, the results of the study have academic benefits in filling the knowledge gap on the role of innovation and information technology as mediating variables in the positive relationship between visionary teams and environmental performance.
