Drivers and Outcomes of Circular Economy Practices in Chinese Enterprises: The Moderating Role of Digital Technology Based on MOA Theory

This data pertains to the drivers of circular economy practices and the correlation between circular economy practices and sustainable performance.Using survey data from 415 firms in China, the analysis reveals that institutional pressure, perceptions of policy benefits, and process innovation capability all have a significant and positive influence on circular economy practices. Moreover, circular economy practices significantly improve environmental, economic, and social performance. Digital technology also strengthens the link between circular economy practices and sustainable performance.
PIC = Process innovation capability; SPG = sense of policy gain; CP = coercive pressure; NP = normative pressure; MP = mimetic pressure; ED = eco-design; IR = investment recycling; IEM = internal environmental management; DT = digital technology; SPE = economic sustainable performance; SPS = social sustainable performance; SPEN = environmental sustainable performance.

本数据集聚焦循环经济实践的驱动因素，以及循环经济实践与可持续绩效之间的关联关系。本研究基于中国415家企业的调研数据开展分析，结果表明：制度压力、政策收益感知与流程创新能力（Process Innovation Capability, PIC）均对循环经济实践具有显著正向影响。此外，循环经济实践可显著提升环境、经济与社会绩效；数字技术还可强化循环经济实践与可持续绩效之间的关联。
以下为各变量缩写与对应中文术语的对应关系：
流程创新能力（Process Innovation Capability, PIC）；政策收益感知（Sense of Policy Gain, SPG）；强制型压力（Coercive Pressure, CP）；规范型压力（Normative Pressure, NP）；模仿型压力（Mimetic Pressure, MP）；生态设计（Eco-design, ED）；回收投资（Investment Recycling, IR）；内部环境管理（Internal Environmental Management, IEM）；数字技术（Digital Technology, DT）；经济可持续绩效（Economic Sustainable Performance, SPE）；社会可持续绩效（Social Sustainable Performance, SPS）；环境可持续绩效（Environmental Sustainable Performance, SPEN）。
