Abstract: Under the background of comprehensive implementation of green manufacturing, green product, as one of the key contents of green manufacturing system, strengthen its development level and improve its effective supply have become the key point of green manufacturing system. However, most of Chinese manufacturing enterprises are relatively short of experience in green product development, and the accumulation of core technical knowledge is limited, which restrict the progress of green product development. Matching between boundary-spanning green technology search and technology integration capability (MATCH) can promote the effective identification and utilization of scattered and disordered green technology knowledge obtained by search, minimize the redundancy level of enterprise technical knowledge resources and capabilities, improve the resource utilization efficiency of enterprises, strength the technical knowledge base of enterprises, and promote the green product development performance effectively. However, the existing research has rarely mentioned about it. Based on the matching theory, knowledge-based theory and cognitive style theory, and the questionnaires from 311 Chinese manufacturing enterprise managers, we construct a moderated mediating effect model from the perspective of "knowledge - capability - cognition" to deeply analyze the influence of MATCH on green product development performance. We use the coupling coordination degree model to measure the degree of MATCH, introduce green technology innovation capability as the mediating variable, and organizational cognition as the moderating variable. The results are as following: (1) MATCH positively affects the green product development performance; (2) Green technology innovation capability plays a partial mediating role between MATCH and green product development performance; (3) The result of organizational analytical cognition is opposite with the hypothesis. Both organizational analytical cognition and organizational creative cognition positively moderate the relationship between MATCH and green technology innovation capability. (4) Both organizational analytical cognition and organizational creative cognition enhance the positive promoting effect of MATCH on green product development performance through green technology innovation capability. Our findings contribute to the theory in several ways. First, we focus on the field of green technology based on the boundary-spanning search, which expands and fills up the research gap in the field of boundary-spanning search for green technology. Second, we apply the matching theory to the study of green product development and find MATCH as an important factor affecting the performance of green product development. Which broadens the application scope of the matching theory and provides a new perspective for the study of green product development. Third, green technology innovation capability is introduced as the mediating variable to reveal the evolutionary path and mechanism of MATCH on green product development performance, which is conducive to enrich the research related to green technology innovation and more comprehensively understand the antecedents of green product development performance under the background of green manufacturing. Last, we discuss the role of organizational analytical cognition and organizational creative cognition in the process of enterprise green product development, which expands the application of cognitive style theory at the organizational level. Overall, the conclusions of this article have certain theoretical guidance and decision-making significance for deepening the research of green technology innovation and improving the performance of Chinese manufacturing enterprises’ green product development.
