Due to this gap, this study carries out an empirical research about the definition and measurement of the human capital applied to business eco-innovation in terms of knowledge. For this purpose, we define a human capital specific index (HCSI) to analyze the influence of firms’ human capital in their eco-innovative activities. The results have been obtained through the analysis of a sample of eco-innovative Spanish firms and they show some relevant implications for practitioners regarding the decision-making process in promoting eco-innovation and for the management control of eco-innovative processes. One of the study contributions for academics is to increase the knowledge about the measurement and the impact of the specific human capital applied to eco-innovation by firms in the theoretical framework of the resource-based view theory (RBV). 000087574 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-74920-C2-1-R 000087574 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000087574 590__ $$a2.576$$b2019 000087574 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES$$b120 / 265 = 0.453$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT2 000087574 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES$$b53 / 123 = 0.431$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT2 000087574 591__ $$aGREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY$$b26 / 41 = 0.634$$c2019$$dQ3$$eT2 000087574 592__ $$a0.581$$b2019 000087574 591__ $$aGREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY$$b6 / 8 = 0.75$$c2019$$dQ3$$eT3 000087574 593__ $$aEnergy Engineering and Power Technology$$c2019$$dQ2 000087574 593__ $$aEnvironmental Science (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ2 000087574 593__ $$aRenewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment$$c2019$$dQ2 000087574 593__ $$aManagement, Monitoring, Policy and Law$$c2019$$dQ2 000087574 593__ $$aGeography, Planning and Development$$c2019$$dQ2 000087574 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000087574 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-2717-8389$$aMarco Fondevila, Miguel$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000087574 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7077-5352$$aScarpellini, Sabina$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000087574 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8020-0229$$aLlena Macarulla, Fernando$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000087574 7102_ $$14012$$2650$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
