RETRACTED ARTICLE: Achieving green tourism through environmental perspectives of green digital technologies, green innovation, and green HR practices

Abstract

This study investigates tourism growth with the role of green digital technologies and green human resource management (GHRM) in China. We applied a fuzzy analysis technique using the 130 Chinese tourism SMEs that use digital technology. The study results declared that digitalization in tourism increases automation in both the process and the final product, raising demand and quality. Moreover, green digital technologies are significant in agile innovation and tourism growth. The study’s results extended that green HRM practices have a significant role in Chinese SMEs developing agile innovation, tourism growth, and green digital innovation. These findings were confirmed by using fuzzy robustness tools. The study proposes to achieve SDGs in China’s tourism industry using primitive measures to enhance tourism growth and agile innovation based on green HRM practices and green digital technologies. Such prudent measures suggested improving green digital technologies in the Chinese tourism industry for tourism growth and agile innovation maximization.

Can low-carbon cities pilot policy promote enterprise sustainable development? Quasi-experimental evidence from China

“…Among them, the coefficient of LCCPP in column ( 4) is significantly positive at the 5% level, indicating that the LCCPP increases firms' financial stability. The coefficient of FS in column ( 5) is significantly positive, and the coefficient of LCCPP decreases compared to column (1), which supports the mediating effect of financial stability. In conclusion, the above results suggest that LCCPP promotes green innovation of firms by promoting, among other things, green total factor productivity and financial stability.…”

“…The table's LCCPP coefficient in column ( 2) is significantly positive at the 1% level, indicating that the LCCPP enhances firms' green total factor productivity. The LCCPP coefficient in column ( 3) is significantly positive, but the regression coefficient of LCCPP is lower than that in column (1), indicating that the effect of LCCPP on green innovation holds through the mediating mechanism of green total factor productivity. Columns (4) to (5) show similar results for the mediating effect test of the impact of absorptive capacity.…”

“…The development patterns or temporal effects between the treatment and control groups are consistent if the treatment group is not susceptible to policy intervention. This test adds the time trend variable period to formula (1) to assess all the years before the policy intervention while controlling the effects of time. The findings of the…”
