Iftikhar Y, Tufail MS, Ferasso M, Danish RQ. Servant leadership and citizenship behavior in the Pakistani tourism and hospitality industry: The role of harmonious environmental passion and a green work climate. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 369:122276. [PMID: 39197345 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.122276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2024] [Revised: 08/14/2024] [Accepted: 08/22/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
This research investigated the mechanisms and contextual factors influencing the relationship between servant leadership tailored to specific environments and environmental citizenship behavior, considering the Conservation of Resource Theory as a theoretical lens. Data collection was collected from 300 employees and their supervisors, including several organizations within the Pakistani Hospitality and Tourism sector, and the data underwent analysis using PLS-SEM. Empirical findings showed that the relationship between environmental-specific servant leadership and organizational environmental citizenship behavior is mediated by harmonious environmental passion. The green work climate positively moderates the indirect effects of harmonious environmental passion on organizational environmental citizenship behavior, suggesting that this effect is strengthened when employees have a higher green work climate than with a lower green work climate. Guidelines for future research are provided.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:46281-46292. [PMID: 37697199 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29690-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
This study investigates the impact of environmental-specific servant leadership (ESSL) on environmental performance (EP) in the context of the hospitality industry. It further examines the mediating roles of environmental concern (EC) and employees' pro-social attitude (EPSA) in this relationship. Drawing on a sample of hospitality organizations, data was collected using self-report questionnaires from employees. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the data and test the proposed model. The results demonstrate a positive and significant relationship between ESSL and EP in the hospitality industry. Furthermore, the study reveals that EC and EPSA play a mediating role in the relationship between ESSL and EP. The findings highlight the importance of ESSL in driving environmental performance and underscore the significance of fostering EC and EPSA among employees. Organizations can benefit from developing and nurturing ESSL leaders who inspire and motivate employees to embrace sustainability practices and contribute to a more environmentally responsible and sustainable industry.

Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the mediating function of Green Employee Empowerment (GEE) in the relationship between Green Human Resource Management practices (GHRM) and the environmental performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ghana, drawing on the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory. This study assessed the hypotheses in the established research model using structural equation modeling based on data collected from 320 participants from small and medium-sized firms in Ghana. The study's results revealed that GHRM practices were significantly correlated with the firm's environmental performance. The study found significant GHRM's indirect consequences on environmental performance through GEE in all models examined. These findings suggest that GEE plays a crucial role in translating the impact of GHRM practices into improved environmental performance. The study overlooked other potential mediators or moderators in the relationship between GHRM practices and environmental performance, focusing on GEE. To better understand the complex dynamics behind GHRM techniques' environmental performance, future research might examine business culture, leadership style, and employee sustainability attitudes.

Ahshanul Mamun AM. Motivating green behaviour in Bangladeshi employees: Self-determination theory application. Heliyon 2023; 9:e18155. [PMID: 37501965 PMCID: PMC10368830 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 07/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Academic research indicates that Bangladesh has relatively low levels of employee green behaviour. Developed and developing nations worldwide have raised environmental awareness within their workforces in response to the alarming rate of environmental deterioration caused by human activities. This study looks into potential links between the motives (intrinsic and extrinsic), green behaviour, and attitudes of Bangladeshi employees. A theoretically supported framework has been developed using self-determination theory. Purposive sampling was used for this survey on Bangladeshi financial institutions (private banks). Data were analyzed using partial least squares based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings propose that employee green attitude mediates the relationship between intrinsic motivation and employee green behaviour. Employee green attitude (EGA) also mediates the relationship between employee green behaviour (EGB) and introjected, identified, integrated, and external regulation (external motivation). The outcomes display a negative relationship between introjected regulation and employee green behaviour as well as external regulation and employee green behaviour, contradicting other research. In Bangladesh, EGA and EGB are understudied; therefore, this research has significance. This research will assist the international community in addressing environmental, social, and economic concerns for a more sustainable future.

Psychol Res Behav Manag 2023; 16:383-396. [PMID: 36798875 PMCID: PMC9925391 DOI: 10.2147/prbm.s396114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose Grounding on the supplies-values fit theory, this study examines the effect of green HRM practices on an employee's in-role green behavior after the Covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, this study examined the mediating role of psychological green climate between green HRM practices and in-role green behaviour. In addition, we studied that spiritual leadership as a buffering mechanism strengthens the relation between psychological green climate and employee in-role behavior. Methods The paths were examined using hierarchical multiple regression and for moderation mediation, we used PROCESS Hayes (2003) to evaluate the data collected from 374 Chinese MNCs employees. Results The findings indicate that green HRM practices have a positive effect on employees' in-role green behaviour. In addition, psychological green climate mediates the relation between green HRM practices and employee in-role green behavior. Spiritual leadership influences the strength of the moderated mediated path between green HRM practices and employee in-role green behavior (through a psychological green environment). Discussion The most apparent manifestation of green HRM practices is the integration of environmental concerns into traditional HRM processes after Covid-19 pandemic, including hiring, training, evaluating performance, and distributing pay and benefits. These green-focused management initiatives are more likely to result in employees acting greenly.

Abstract
The significant need to achieve business sustainability calls for a new business perspective grounded on leaders’ abilities and the effective execution of green human resource management (GHRM). This study aims to emphasize the role of ethical leadership and GHRM in moving organizations toward sustainability. GHRM supports companies to match their corporate strategies to the environment mainly in the presence of ethical leaders who can walk the talk and the provision of adequate practices and training by HRM to foster a working environment, where employees can exhibit creativity, passion, and positive behaviors towards sustainability. Specifically, this research studies the impact of ethical leaders via GHRM and harmonious environmental passion on employees’ green behaviors using a quantitative method in which a dyadic approach (supervisor–employee) was employed to collect data from two sources through a structured questionnaire from non-profit organizations in Lebanon. The research hypotheses were tested using Partial Least-Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed a significant impact of ethical leadership on employees’ green behaviors. In addition, GHRM and harmonious environmental passion mediated the relationship between ethical leadership and employees’ green behaviors. Besides, it was noticed that green creativity strengthened the association between ethical leadership and GHRM, while a psychological green climate strengthened the association between GHRM and employees’ green behaviors. The study has practical implications for leaders and policymakers who are apprehensive about business sustainability.

Abstract
PurposeThis paper examines the effect of green creativity (GC) on the business sustainability (BS) of large manufacturing firms (LMFs) in Malaysia and investigates the mediating effect of total quality management (TQM) on this relationship.Design/Methodology/ApproachA quantitative approach was adopted, using a sample of 206 LMFs; the formulated hypotheses were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modeling.FindingsThe findings revealed a significant positive effect of GC on the TQM and BS of LMFs and a significant positive effect of TQM on their BS. TQM also has a full mediating effect on the relationship between GC and BS.Research Limitations/ImplicationsOne of the limitations of this study is its focus on Malaysian LMFs. It nevertheless contributes to the literature by extending knowledge concerning their TQM, GC and multi-faceted perspectives. This is largely ignored in literature and, as such, the study paves the way for additional research.Practical ImplicationsThe findings of this study may be used as guidelines for CEOs, particularly on the way TQM and GC can be developed for enhanced BS, in the context of South Asian countries.Originality/ValueThis study is the first to test the influence of GC on Malaysian LMFs’ BS and the first worldwide to investigate the mediating effect of TQM on their GC-BS relationship.

Abstract
This study sought to explore the impact of green human resource management on organizational identification and employees’ eco-friendly behavior, as well as the mediating role of organizational identification in the relationship between green human resource management and employees’ eco-friendly behavior. To achieve the study objectives, a cross-sectional quantitative study was developed, for which the data were obtained through a structured questionnaire containing the measures of the study variables. Data were collected from 235 employees from several Portuguese tourism organizations participating in the study. The Harman test and bootstrapping were applied previously to the assessment of the results. The mediation study’s hypothesis was evaluated using Baron and Kenny’s linear regression method, and subsequently complemented using the Sobel test. The findings showed that the implementation of green HRM practices in tourism organizations has a positive impact on employees’ eco-friendly behavior and on organizational identification, with the latter mediating the relationship between green human resource management and employees’ eco-friendly behavior. The study is breaking new ground because it incorporates the impact of green human resource management on organizational identification and employees’ eco-friendly behavior in a single research model, thus expanding knowledge on the subject, namely in the tourism sector in Portugal.
