Clean and green: the relevance of hotels' website quality and environmental management initiatives for green customer loyalty

Abstract

PurposeCustomers' focus increasingly turns to the green practices of firms. Organizations need to rethink their strategies and position themselves concerning their environmental responsibility. The idea behind this study is to observe the influence of hotel website quality and hotel environmental management initiative (HEMI) on green customer loyalty in the Pakistan hotel industry with the mediating role of green trust (GT) and green satisfaction (GS).Design/methodology/approachThe study is quantitative, and partial least squares structural equation modelling followed to test the proposed hypotheses. A total of 542 questionnaires were used for analysis through SPSS 25.0 and SmartPLS 3.2.9.FindingsThe findings confirm the proposed positive influence of hotel website quality and HEMI on green customer loyalty. Moreover, GT and GS significantly mediate the relationship, further enhancing the relevance of green practices for hotels.Practical implicationsHotel management can get maximum customer loyalty to concentrate on hotel website quality, HEMI, GT and GS.Originality/valueThis study aims to develop a research model to incorporate hotel website quality, HEMI, GT, GS and green customer loyalty by using signalling theory and natural resource-based view theory that prior studies ignored.

Mechanism of knowledge management process towards minimizing manufacturing risk under green technology implementation: an empirical assessment

Environmental MCS package, perceived environmental uncertainty and green performance: in green dynamic capabilities and investment in environmental management perspectives

“…From strength perspective, organizations with workers 101–500 were 191 or 47.28%, while organizations that have employees up to 100 were 102 or 25.25%, organizations having employees 501–1,000 were 86 or 21.29% and organizations that have employees more than 1,000 were 25 or 6.18%. Only established variables from prior research have been used, determining constructs in five-Likert scales (Abueid et al , 2022; Akram et al , 2022; Alnaimi et al , 2022; Bhatti and Rehman, 2020; Elrehail et al , 2021; Khan et al , 2019; Rehman et al , 2019a; Sun et al , 2022).…”
