“…In this vein, we support previous findings showing that perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership can contribute to employees' desirable outcomes, especially corresponding environmental behavioral outcomes (Tuan, 2019(Tuan, , 2020. At the same time, this study extends the knowledge of leadership approaches as predictors that facilitate followers' desirable outcomes in terms of green and environmental behaviors in the workplace (Aboramadan et al, 2021). Moreover, we enrich the current understanding of the benefits of perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership in hotel work settings.…”

“…That is, although previous research has indicated the potential benefits of an environmentally oriented leadership style in the workplace, limited empirical studies have been conducted to demonstrate why the specific leadership approach -i.e., followers' perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership -can contribute to promoting employees' workplace environmentally friendly behavior. The results advance research on employees' environmental outcomes associated with leaders who enact environmentally-specific servant leadership (Afsar et al, 2018;Aboramadan et al, 2021). In this vein, we support previous findings showing that perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership can contribute to employees' desirable outcomes, especially corresponding environmental behavioral outcomes (Tuan, 2019(Tuan, , 2020.…”

“…Accumulated evidence has consistently shown that leadership styles such as displaying and stressing environmental issues can encourage followers to generate environmental behaviors (Robertson and Barling, 2013;Cai et al, 2020;Wu et al, 2021). Notably, environmentally-specific servant leadership has recently attracted scholars' attention in the service industry (Afsar et al, 2018;Tuan, 2019;Aboramadan et al, 2021) by indicating the specific characteristics of leaders who serve the community in an environmental manner. For example, Tuan (2020) recruited tour operators and showed that environmentally-specific servant leadership can effectively stimulate employees' green creative outcomes.…”

Although previous studies have acknowledged that leaders’ such environmental behaviors and environmental issues are becoming critical for long-term development, little research has focused on why, how and when perceived environmentally specific servant leadership contributes to employees’ workplace environmentally friendly behavior in the hotel industry. This paper aims to fill this research gap by using social identity theory to test employees’ green role identity as a mediator and their perceived corporate environmental responsibility and perceived coworkers’ work group green advocacy as moderators in the relationship between perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership and workplace environmentally friendly behavior. Using a sample of 527 leader-follower dyads from six hotels in mainland China at two points in time, we found that employees’ green role identity mediates the positive relationship between perceived environmentally specific servant leadership and employees’ workplace environmentally friendly behavior. Moreover, employees’ perceived corporate environmental responsibility and perceived coworkers’ work group green advocacy were found to positively moderate the relationship between perceived environmentally-specific servant leadership and green role identity and between green role identity and workplace environmentally friendly behavior, respectively. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

“…To this end, in the hospitality industry, firms are adopting green strategies such as green human resource management (GHRM) to build organizational citizenship behavior toward the environment (Aboramadan et al , 2021); green creativity (Farooq et al , 2021); and green hotel performance (Pham et al , 2020a, 2020b, 2020c; Aboramadan and Karatepe, 2021). There have been calls for the integration of HRM in the sustainability discourse by capitulating the organization's sustainability mantra when crafting HRM policies (Pham et al , 2019).…”

“…Recently, Pham et al (2020a, 2020b, 2020c) illustrated that GHRM enhances the sustainable consumption of resources through ideas, practices and HR policies, which stems down environmental degradation. Researchers are now investigating the various ways of motivating green behavior within the hotel sector (Aboramadan et al , 2021; Farooq et al , 2021; Luu, 2019; Mittal and Dhar, 2016; Okumus et al , 2019). Scholars have appealed for research on specific GHRM practices that are related to environmental performance and green creativity (Ahmed et al , 2021; Al-Ghazali and Afsar, 2020; Farooq et al , 2021; Tang et al , 2018).…”

Purpose Employee green behavior can lead to a firm's green performance. However, green management research has not accorded adequate attention to the mechanism underlying green creativity. This study aims to investigate the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on green creativity at both individual and collective levels. Design/methodology/approach Through a multisource, multiwave survey data obtained from employees of 3- to 5-star hotels in Kenya, the present study investigates how GHRM practices influence individual and collective green creativity. For the data analysis, we employed multilevel structural equation modeling using MPlus 7.2. Findings The study findings show that GHRM practices influence individual and collective green creativity. The proposed mediating role of the enablers of green culture (EGC) in these relationships was confirmed. Moreover, environmentally specific servant leadership moderated the relationships between GHRM and individual and collective green creativity. Research limitations/implications The study recommends that hotel management should embrace GHRM practices to nurture green creativity at the employee and team levels. The hotels management is further persuaded by the findings of this study to pay attention to the four EGC (leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement and employee empowerment) which play a key role in enhancing green creativity among hotel employees. Practical implications The study recommends that hotel management should embrace GHRM practices to nurture green creativity at the employee and team levels. The hotels' management is further persuaded by the findings of this study to pay attention to the four EGC (leadership emphasis, message credibility, peer involvement and employee empowerment) which play a key role in enhancing green creativity among hotel employees. Originality/value We develop and propose an integrated conceptual framework by which hotels can deploy to nurture green creativity at individual and team levels. We anticipate that our study findings will elicit further research into the mechanisms that reveal the nexus between GHRM and other employee green performance outcomes in the hotel sector.
