In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of the importance coordinated development digitalization and greenization. However, existing research lacks a systematic framework for understanding relationship between different dimensions digital transformation various strategies green innovation. Furthermore, role types slack resources in this largely overlooked. This paper aims to address these gaps by examining impact on corporate greenization moderating organizational from heterogeneity perspective. To achieve this, we differentiate into two dimensions: breadth depth. Similarly, is divided input output. Additionally, distinguish absorbed unabsorbed resources. We empirically test our hypotheses using data Chinese A-share listed companies 2011 2020. Our findings reveal following insights: 1) The depth positively influence outputs, while negatively affecting inputs. 2) stronger both output compared its breadth. 3) Absorbed not only act as negative moderators inputs but also weaken positive outputs. 4) exhibit effect than contributes literature shedding light differential effects greenization, considering Moreover, it provides practical implications effectively advancing enterprises.
