Enhancing Sustainable Practices in Hospitality: The Role of Green Leadership, Organizational Culture, and Training in Shaping Employee Behavior through Commitment

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of Green Culture, Green Transformational Leadership, and Green Training on Employee Green Behavior (EGB), with Green Commitment as a mediating variable. Responding to the urgency of environmental sustainability, the hospitality sector plays a pivotal role in fostering eco-friendly behavior. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 75 employees of a four-star hotel in Jakarta through questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that Green Culture and Green Transformational Leadership significantly influence both Green Commitment and EGB, while Green Training affects only Green Commitment. Green Commitment does not significantly impact EGB or mediate any relationships. These findings contribute to the literature on pro-environmental behavior in hospitality and provide practical guidance for embedding sustainability into workplace practices.
