“…Research investigating sustainability in SMEs has demonstrated empirical links between the adoption of environmental practices and gains in operational efficiencies (Wu & Pagell, 2011) and innovative capabilities (Bos-Brouwers, 2010;Geffen & Rothenberg, 2000), both of which are positively related to financial performance (Albertini, 2013). Though this evidence shows there are competitive and performance benefits to SMEs' adoption of environmental practices, there is quite a bit of variance across SMEs as to whether or not a firm actually engages in sustainability (Hsiao, Chuang, & Huang, 2018;Triguero et al, 2016). A possible explanation for such variance is that there are many pressures from the external environment that SMEs face when deciding whether to adopt environmental practices.…”

This study explains how managers' perceptions of pressure from competitors and industry associations to adopt environmental practices are associated with the adoption of such practices, and firm performance in small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in fragmented industries. First, we hypothesize, in fragmented industries, perceived weaker competitive pressure focuses SME managers' attention on opportunities associated with the adoption of environmental practices, resulting in further adoption of such practices. We also hypothesize that perceived stronger competitive pressure focuses managers' attention on competitive threats and efforts to maximize value creation from adopted practices, thus positively moderating the relationship between adopted environmental practices and financial performance. We test our hypotheses with survey data from wineries and vineyards in Italy, France, Denmark, and the US, and find support for both hypotheses. These findings deepen our understanding of how SMEs in fragmented industries respond to perceived competitive pressure to adopt environmental practices.

“…Substantial quantities of energy, water and non-durable products are consumed in the service delivery process (Chen and Tung, 2014). 75% of hotel operation activities are due to the excessive consumption of nondurable goods, energy and water resources followed by contamination of the natural environment (Bohdanowicz, 2009;Hsiao et al, 2018). Hong Kong is a famous tourism city.…”

Tourists’ perceptions of green building design and their intention of staying in green hotel

Hotel developers incorporate green building design to save on capital and operation cost. Hotel operators adopt green practice to affect tourists’ intention of staying (IoS). This paper recognises the important contribution of green building design and eco-service provision to green hotels. It investigates the internal relationships of tourists’ environmental concern (EC), their perceived importance of green building design (PIGBD) and their IoS in green hotels. A moderating regression analysis was adopted to validate the proposed tourists behavioural pattern based on a survey sample of 161 tourists from Hong Kong. The results reveal tourists’ EC positively affects their IoS, and their PIGBD is proved to be a moderating factor of the EC-IoS relation. It implies that tourists’ IoS in green hotels is influenced by the level of their awareness and perceptions of green building design attributes. Given that green building design is often an omitted element in the previous hospitality literature, this paper highlights its potential role and implications in facilitating sustainable practices in the hospitality industry. Identifying the potential moderating factors of tourists’ EC-IoS relation can assist the development of green marketing strategy, which adds value to the tourism and hospitality industry. From a social interest perspective, it is crucial to raise tourists’ eco-literacy in all the ‘green ends’ including green building design of hotels.

“…By adopting these measures, hotels contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development while attracting guests who identify with these concepts [8,9]. Relevant studies have addressed various environmental issues within the hotel industry, including green marketing [10,11], everyday environmental behavior and concerns [12][13][14], the willingness to pay for green consumption [15,16], and consumer intention to engage in eco-friendly behavior by staying in green hotels [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Chen and Tung [23] adopted the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to examine the consumer intentions driving the decision to stay at a green hotel.…”

Environmental Consciousness and Green Customer Behavior: The Moderating Roles of Incentive Mechanisms

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Consumer awareness of environmental protection and energy conservation concepts has prompted businesses in the hotel industry to adopt green operations. Most studies of the hotel industry have discussed the behavioral intentions (BIs) of consumers based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), but they have not considered emotional and motivational factors. The present study incorporated two incentive mechanisms and the anticipated positive and negative emotions of consumers into the TPB to explore the relationship between BIs and green hotel development. Structural equation modeling was applied to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that (1) a positive correlation exists between environmental attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control (PBC), positive anticipated emotion, and desire intention (DI), and a negative correlation exists between negative anticipated emotions and DI; (2) a positive correlation exists between PBC, DI, and BI; and (3) an incentive mechanism has a moderating effect on the relationship between DI and BI.
