摘要

Researchers and practitioners have shown a keen interest in eco-innovation and recently developed a single instrument for measuring it. However, more in-depth endeavors in this area would not be possible without an adequate understanding of eco-innovation implementation and, more specifically, an appropriate instrument for measuring eco-innovation from the implementation perspective. The purpose of this study is to validate such an instrument. We collected primary data from 298 senior managers who carried out successful eco-innovation projects, and then conducted a series of statistical analyses on the data. The results show that the 17-item instrument exhibits excellent psychometric properties and is proved a reliable and valid measure.
