description Confronted with the treacherous digital wave and the aggressive environmental challenges, digital technology and green innovation are becoming critical tools for corporations to secure a sustainable advantage. The significance of identifying the role of digital technology application on corporate green innovation has been widely debated in the extant literature. Nevertheless, few researchers have investigated the inherent mechanism between them from the resource allocation perspective. From this research gap, we construct a theoretical model of the inherent mechanism by which digital technology application affects corporate green innovation, validate it using listed corporations in China from 2011 to 2020, and further investigate the differences in their inherent mechanism triggered by property rights and industry competition. We found that digital technology application is effective in promoting corporate green innovation. Stronger green innovation effect of digital technology application in state-owned corporations and those in highly competitive industries. The inherent mechanism between them manifest in optimizing the allocation of conventional labor, expanding the scale of non-conventional labor, and enhancing investment in R&D and digital infrastructure capital. We further explored that the impact of applying digital technology to optimize conventional labor allocation, expand non-conventional labor scale, and enhance investment in R&D and digital infrastructure capital is stronger for corporations in highly competitive industries than those in lowly competitive industries. The difference is that the role of the digital technology application in boosting capital investment in R&D does not differ across corporations with different property rights. Findings provide theoretical and empirical evidence on effectively developing the digital technology application's green innovative effects. [Display omitted] •Digital technology application (DTA) promotes corporate green innovation (CGI)•DTA produces the optimal and creative effect of labor resources•DTA generates a deepening effect of capital resources•Property rights and industry competition can change the effect mechanism of DTA on CGI
