Using a multisource (leader–subordinate) and time‐lagged research design, data were collected from 229 large manufacturing firms located in major industrial centers of Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Makkah, Jeddah, and Jubail. The study's hypotheses were tested using partial least squares‐structural equation modeling (PLS‐SEM). The empirical findings confirm the mediating role of managerial attention toward the environment in the relationship of government eco‐initiatives with frugal green innovation. Nevertheless, they do not support the moderating effect of transformational leadership on the “managerial attention toward the environment–frugal green innovation” relationship. In addition, transformational leadership does not influence the mediating role of managerial attention toward the environment on the “government eco‐initiatives–frugal green innovation” relationship. This study enriches the scant frugal green innovation literature. The authors also elaborate on the current empirical evidence in theory, research, and practice related to managerial attention and frugal innovation. 10.1002/bse.70821 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
