The effect of green leadership perception on environmental commitment, awareness, and employees' green behavior in hotel businesses: Research from a generation cohort theory perspective

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the relationships between green leadership perceived by hotel employees and environmental commitment, environmental awareness, and employees’ green behavior. In contrast to previous research in the literature, this study also examines the moderating role of generation in these relationships. The study was carried with employees of five-star hotel in Turkey. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS AMOS 22 programs and significant effects between certain variables were detected. In addition, the research results indicate that generation has a moderating role in the relationships between green leadership, environmental awareness, and environmental commitment. As a result of the evaluation, a number of theoretical and practical contributions are presented for academicians working in the literature, sector representatives, and hotel business managers.
