Do we need human capital heterogeneity for energy efficiency and innovativeness? Insights from European catching-up territories

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study brings a new perspective on the energy efficiency issue within the &quot;&quot;catching-up territory&quot;&quot; of Southern, Baltic, and Eastern European countries, where such analyses are missing. We create an original theory mix, combining theories of human capital, natural resource-based view, gender socialization, and upper echelons, to address three important research gaps: (i) the missing link regarding the effects of firm-specific human capital on energy efficiency; (ii) the interrelationship between energy efficiency and firms&apos; innovativeness; and (iii) nonlinear relationships between firm-specific human capital, energy efficiency, and innovativeness. Moreover, we test whether energy efficiency has a mediating role within firms&apos; innovation processes. Our results confirm the key role experiences and skills play in energy efficiency and surprisingly refute the importance of gender diversity in this case. We also confirm the importance of environmental behaviour for innovativeness and reveal the mediating role of energy efficiency for process innovations. Finally, we propose several important implica-tions for managers and policy makers.
