“…In this sense, firstly, the results obtained demonstrated: a) the existence of a positive and direct bond between the ecological measures developed by hotels and their image, as reported previously by other authors (Durna et al, 2015;Mart ınez Garc ıa de Leaniz et al, 2018;Palacios-Florencio et al, 2016Wang et al, 2018); b) that green initiatives positively influence guests' trust; these findings are consistent with previous studies (e.g. Balaji et al, 2019;Palacios-Florencio et al, 2016; c) that, while tourists experience a satisfactory service, the green initiatives developed by the hotels have a positive impact on their satisfaction, thus confirming the results of previous research (Merli et al, 2019;Verma & Chandra, 2016, Wang et al, 2018Yusof et al, 2017).…”

“…On the downside, however, tourism activities generate 8% of greenhouse gases (Lenzen et al, 2018). Hotels consume high amounts of resources in its daily operations (Verma & Chandra, 2016, with a detrimental impact on the environment (Legrand et al, 2016). For this reason, environmental sustainability has emerged as a vital issue in the marketing strategies of such companies (Legrand et al, 2016).…”

Due to growing consumer awareness of environmental problems, more and more hotels have been developing green practices in response to the environmental concerns of their guests and improve their image. This study aimed to test a model for analyzing the incidence of green practices as drivers for generating positive hotel image and guest trust and satisfaction, evaluating the moderating role of guest gender in these relationships. Based on a personal survey of 302 guests at 3 and 4-star hotels in Bogot a, evidence was obtained for the positive relationship between sustainable practices and the variables considered, with certain differences depending on the gender of each guest. Thus, this study highlights the importance for hotels located in developing countries of implementing green practices, in order to improve their image and increase the degree of trust and satisfaction of their guests to maintain long-term relationships.

“…If these resources are not managed properly, they will have a negative impact on the environment and the operating costs of an organization [34,35]. Over the last few years, there have been many forces (i.e., growth of customers' environmental awareness, reducing hotels' negative environmental impacts, building a positive image and the economic return) that have encouraged the hotel industry to become more environmentally friendly [36,37]. Consequently, many hotels have begun implementing various innovative practices to increase the "greenness" of their operations in order to eliminate their environmental pressure in addition to responding to growing customer environmental concerns [38,39].…”

In this study, we aim to investigate environmental management representatives’ perceptions regarding the extent of the contribution of green hotel practices to achieving the environment-related sustainable development goals (SDGs). To achieve this aim, a questionnaire was developed and directed to the person in charge of environmental duties in the investigated hotels, who were selected by a convenience sample method. A sample of 48 participants from four and five Green Star hotels, representing 63% of the total Certified Green Star hotels in Egypt, was surveyed. The findings of the study revealed that the implementation of green hotel practices in the certified four and five Green Star hotels surveyed contributed positively to achieving SDG 6, SDG 12, SDG 7 and SDG 13, respectively. The main driver of the adoption of Green Star criteria was the hotels’ commitment to environmental sustainability. The findings also indicated that, overall, there were statistically significant differences between four and five Green Star hotels in all SDGs addressed. The main implication of this study is that hotel operators should properly incorporate green hotel practices into their operational plans to achieve the environment-related SDGs.

“…Environmental concern is the extent to which people are aware of environmental problems and their willingness to solve them [62] and contribute personally to their solutions [82]. These problems have long been considered important predictors of ecological decisions [61,63,64,[83][84][85]. Therefore, individual concern is a valuable driver of environmentally conscious behavior, which ranges from green purchasing behavior and recycling to energy conservation [43,[62][63][64][65]72].…”

Consumer Intention to Participate in E-Waste Collection Programs: A Study of Smartphone Waste in Indonesia

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Indonesia is a developing country with a low-level e-waste management system based on a limited number of informal initiatives. E-waste requires proper management procedures, which involve the design of a reverse logistics management network. Consumers play a critical role in such a network, because the network runs when they willingly participate as suppliers of waste. This paper applies the Theory of Planned Behavior framework and extends it using Reverse Logistics drivers, the Value Belief Norm Theory, and facility accessibility to explain consumer intention to participate in e-waste collection programs. A survey was conducted on smartphone users in Indonesia, with a total of 324 valid questionnaires. The results showed that government drivers, facility accessibility, and personal attitudes significantly influence consumer intentions. Environmental concern has a positive influence on consumer intentions through the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior and perceived behavioral control through government drivers. This study shows the need for integration, because the variables reinforce each other. However, neither economic drivers nor subjective norms significantly influence consumer intentions. This finding distinguishes Indonesia from other countries, especially developed countries, in that e-waste collection programs have not become part of the culture in Indonesia. For this reason, Indonesia needs regulations, as the most influential variable, to regulate the implementation of such a program.
