Abstract Based on resource dependence theory,reputation theory and inter-organizational imitation theory,this paper empirically tests the effect of an informal mechanism—technical independent director interlocks on corporate environmental performance and explores the regulatory effect of the technological innovations on the relationship between and technical director interlocks and corporate environmental performance.Based on the empirical analysis of the panel data of China's a-share listed companies from 2014 to 2016,the research results show that there is no obvious relationship between the technical executive director interlocks and the corporate environmental performance; the technical independent director interlocks is positively correlated with corporate environmental performance; after distinguishing the nature of the equity,it was found that among the state-owned enterprises,there was a significant negative correlation between the technical independent director interlocks and corporate environmental performance.Further research has also found that technological innovation has reduced the positive relationship between technical independent director interlocks on corporate environmental performance; in state-owned enterprises,technological innovation has not affected the relationship between technical independent director interlocks and corporate environmental performance.
