Green human resource management in hospitality: nurturing green voice behaviors through passion and mindfulness

ABSTRACT

This study uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to explore the nexus between green human resource management (GHRM) practices and employee green voice behaviors in the Spanish hospitality sector. Using a sample of 308 Spanish hotel employees, the findings indicate that employees’ perception of GHRM practices significantly predicts green voice behavior development and is positively associated with harmonious environmental passion. Employees’ GHRM perception substantially impacts organizational green mindfulness, positively influencing harmonious environmental passion. The study unveils complementary partial mediation, showcasing the significant and indirect impact of GHRM practices on green voice behaviors through harmonious environmental passion and organizational green mindfulness. Theoretical contributions involve introducing novel psychosocial processes that motivate and influence the interaction between GHRM and employees’ green behaviors. Meanwhile, practical implications underscore the role of GHRM in fostering a shared green vision and empowering employees for actively engaging in environmental sustainability within the hospitality sector.

摘要

本研究使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM）来探索西班牙酒店业绿色人力资源管理（GHRM）实践与员工绿色声音行为之间的关系. 使用308名西班牙酒店员工的样本，研究结果表明，员工对GHRM实践的感知显著预测了绿色声音行为的发展，并与和谐的环境热情呈正相关. 员工的GHRM感知显著影响组织的绿色正念，积极影响和谐的环境激情. 该研究揭示了互补的部分中介，展示了GHRM实践通过和谐的环境激情和组织的绿色正念对绿色声音行为的显著和间接影响. 理论贡献包括引入新的社会心理过程，激励和影响GHRM和员工绿色行为之间的互动. 同时，实际影响强调了GHRM在促进共同的绿色愿景和增强员工积极参与酒店业环境可持续性方面的作用.
