Impact of green human resource management practices on the environmental performance of green hotels

ABSTRACT

This research aims to investigate whether green hotels’ environmental performance might improve through staff environmental commitment and green process innovations. Data were obtained from a survey questionnaire conducted with employees of 409 green hotels operating in Turkey. The PLS-SEM technique was adopted using Smart-PLS software to examine the proposed hypotheses. The results verified that green human resource management (GHRM) practices produce a higher level of environmental performance when employee environmental commitment and green process innovations are deployed. Therefore, this study suggests that green hotel management should promote GHRM practices throughout their organizations to enhance employee involvement in environmentally sustainable activities. It adds particularly to a new line of study focused on understanding the essential role of GHRM practices in improving the environmental performance of green hotels.本研究旨在探讨绿色酒店是否可以通过员工的环境承诺和绿色流程创新来提高其环境绩效. 数据来源于对土耳其409家绿色酒店员工的调查问卷. 利用智能PLS软件采用PLS-SEM技术对提出的假设进行检验. 结果证实, 当员工环境承诺和绿色流程创新被部署时, 绿色人力资源管理 (GHRM) 实践产生了更高水平的环境绩效. 因此, 本研究表明, 绿色酒店管理应在其整个组织内推广GHRM实践, 以提高员工参与环境可持续活动的程度. 它特别补充了一项新的研究, 重点是了解GHRM实践在改善绿色酒店环境绩效方面的重要作用.
