Abstract
In the current situation where organisations in general and educational
institutions in particular, are achieving economic benefits at
the cost of the environment, there is a need to have innovations
to a substantial extent that can reduce environmental pollution
and improve the economic benefits. The current study is an
attempt to identify the potential contribution of technology
innovation in driving sustainability, especially when it is powered
by Political Influence, Performance-based budgeting, and organisational
culture in educational institutions from China. Based on
the data of 472 respondents, the application of PLS-SEM has
reported significant associations among the proposed hypotheses.
The findings revealed that all of the three measures, political
influence, performance-based budgeting, and organisational culture,
have significant effects on enhancing the level of technology
innovation. Moreover, technology innovation also improves the
organisation’s sustainable performance, which includes economic,
environmental, and social. Based on the findings, the organisations
in general and educational institutions in particular, are recommended
to cultivate a culture encouraging technology
innovation. In contrast, management is recommended to have
performance-based budgeting to improve productivity and the
level of efficiency.
