“…3) Managers' age was included as the era in which one is brought up is arguably central to shaping environmental values, attitude and behaviours (Fryxell and Lo, 2003;Rivera and de Leon, 2005). 4) Gender was also controlled because previous research suggest that females are more likely to endorse the NEP than males (Deng et al, 2006;Egri and Herman, 2000;Snelgar, 2006). 5) The academic major was included given its obvious relationship to strategic environmental behaviour (Ewert and Baker, 2001;Rivera and de Leon, 2005).…”

Little is known about the factors underlying the pro-environmental behaviour of marketing managers. This paper explores the determinants of green marketing practices in the Red Sea hotel sector in Egypt. The research model assesses green marketing practices against the personal and organisational values of the marketing managers, together with a range of organisational and demographic variables expected to influence hotels' environmental behaviour. From a valid sample of 89 marketing managers responsible for 194 hotels it was found that organisational contextual variables, and in particular targeting Western tourists, being affiliated to an international hotel chain as well as the marketers' own demographics, including age, academic subject studied, and gender were the best predictors of more pro-active green marketing. Personal environmental values did not explain the pro-environmental environmental behaviour of marketers, and the organisational environmental values that had explained part of their ethical behaviour resulted from voluntarism rather than utilitarian or conformance-based values. Government policies also appeared to be ineffective determinants. The implications for green marketing practices are discussed.

“…Enterprise characteristics include issues that previous studies have shown to impact on ability and willingness to engage in CSR. Management variables are gender (Deng, Walker, & Swinnerton, 2006;Egri & Herman, 2000), age (Fryxell & Lo, 2003;Rivera & de Leon, 2005) and educational level (Ewert & Baker, 2001;Rivera & de Leon, 2005). Enterprise variables are establishment antiquity (Shrivastava, 1995b), affiliation of the company to a brand or chain (Alvarez Gil et al, 2001;Ayuso, 2006;Bohdanowicz, 2006), family-ownership (Getz & Petersen, 2005;Tzschentke et al, 2008b), category (Alvarez Gil et al, 2001;Rivera, 2002) and size (Aragón-Correa et al, 2008;González-Benito & González-Benito, 2006a;Henriques & Sadorsky, 1999;Stabler, 1997).…”

Corporate social responsibility practices have been mostly analyzed in the large manufacturing business context, with little attention paid to the service sector and even less to small and medium-sized tourism enterprises. This study aims to fill this gap through analyzing how these enterprises take responsibility. A survey of nearly 400 enterprises showed that the main reason for acting responsibly is altruistic, arising from the managers and owners' values and lifestyle. Sustainability measures have a positive impact on the financial performance and vice versa. The resource-based view of the enterprise is validated through the impact of environmental cost-savings in financial performance, although other advanced social and economic sustainable actions also benefit financial wealth. Finally we conclude that further implementation of these practices is necessary to achieve new competitive advantages, and that the role of public administrations will be crucial to support and encourage these.

“…The studies presented thus far provide evidence that that enterprises' characteristics and management variables have a significant impact on the ability and willingness to engage in CSR. Management variables included in the study are gender (Deng et al 2006), age (Rivera and De Leon 2005), years of experience (Kukanja, 2015), and educational level (Rivera and De Leon 2005). The selected enterprise variables are ownership structure (Getz and Petersen 2005;Tzschentke et al 2008b), category -type of the restaurant facility (Rivera 2002), and size (Aragón-Correa et al 2008;González-Benito and González-Benito 2006).…”

Purpose -The objective of this study is to investigate how restaurant managers' demographic characteristics influence Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in the restaurant industry. Design/Methodology/Approach -In order to analyze the influence of managers' demographic characteristics on CSR practices, industry specific practices relevant to the Slovenian restaurant industry were identified: regular financial assistance to activities and projects of the local community, employment of local staff, cooperation with local producers, active separation of all types of waste, active recyclement, active energy savement, and payment of liabilities towards suppliers on time. The quantitative research focuses on the correlation between managers' demographics and CSR practices. Data were collected through quantitative field research by applying a structured self administerred questionnaire. Findings -Research results show that the main reason for acting responsibly is related to managers' years of age, experience, and level of education. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study is that all demographic variables included in the research have a statistically significant influence in explaining restaurants' CSR behaviour. The most strongly influenced CSR practice is "Payment of liabilities". This practice is driven by managers' age, years of experience, and level of education. By understanding both, managers' demographic characteristics and their influence on CSR practices, it is now possible to more successfully implement CSR policies in the restaurant industry. It is suggested that future studies focuse on the analysis of CSR practices and managers' psychographic characteristics. Originality -This is the very first study to analyse the influence of managers' demographic characteristics on CSR engagement in the restaurant industry.
