    Abstract

    This study aims to assess the relationships between two green absorptive capacities and interorganizational learning measured in terms of ambidextrous open innovation, analyzing firms' sustainable performance within knowledge‐based theoretical frameworks. This study uses structural equation modeling to analyze and present empirical evidence from 200 manufacturing firms in South Korea. The findings present insights into the relationship between green absorptive capacity and sustainable corporate performance through the lens of ambidextrous open innovation. The theoretical and practical implications suggest that manufacturing enterprises face challenges in attaining sustainable performance when enhancing green absorptive capacity and fostering organizational ambidexterity.
