“…For example, a 12-item CSR scale was adapted from Turker [ 72 ]. A recent study by Ahmad, et al [ 73 ] also used this scale to measure employees’ CSR perceptions. The alpha value (α) of this construct was 0.940.…”

The healthcare sector throughout the world is identified for its outsized carbon footprint. Despite the mounting importance of employees’ pro-environmental behavior (PEB) for decarbonization, the role of PEB in a healthcare context was less emphasized previously, especially in a developing country context. To address this knowledge gap, the current work was carried out to examine the relationship between a hospital’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and PEB with the mediating effect of environmental-specific transformational leadership (ESTL). At the same time, the conditional indirect effect of altruistic values (AV) was also considered in the above relationship. The data were collected through a questionnaire by employing a paper-pencil method from the hospital employees (n = 293). By considering the structural equation modeling, the hypothesized relationships were validated. The results indicated that CSR directly (β1 = 0.411) and indirectly, via ESTL, (β4 = 0.194) influenced the PEB of employees. It was also realized that A.V produced a conditional indirect effect in this relationship (β5 = 0.268). This work tends to help a hospital to improve its environmental footprint through CSR and ESTL. Moreover, the current work also highlights the role of employees’ values (e.g., A.V) to guide the environment-specific behavior of employees.

“…A sample statement was “This hotel encourages its employees to participate in voluntary activities.” Originally, this scale consisted of seventeen items, however, five items were related to customers and government, therefore, the authors did not include these five items. Other scholars like Murtaza et al (2021) , Shah et al (2021) , and Ahmad et al (2022) also employed the same twelve items scale in their studies. In like manner, the statements of WE were extracted from the study of Schaufeli et al (2006) who introduced a nine-item scale to tape the latent construct of WE.…”

“…Indeed, SIT has largely been employed by different previous researchers to explain individual behavior in a specific context. Even, with regard to the CSR framework, researchers have considered this theory to explain individual behavior ( Turker, 2009a ; Abdullah et al, 2017 ; Ko et al, 2020 ; Ahmad et al, 2022 ). Following the crux of this theory, the authors of this draft argue that employees working in a socially responsible organization are inclined to identify themselves with an ethical organization.…”

Fostering Hotel-Employee Creativity Through Micro-Level Corporate Social Responsibility: A Social Identity Theory Perspective

et al. 2022

Due to globalization, a dynamic business environment, and stiff rivalry, the importance of employee creativity (EC) has increased in the current era more than ever before. The hotel sector has no exception, rather the need for creativity is high in this sector because most hotels operate in ways that are easy to imitate. Recently, researchers have paid attention to micro-level corporate social responsibility (ML-CSR) and have linked it to achieve different employee-related outcomes such as EC. However, the above relationship was less explored in a hospitality context. To bridge this gap, the current analysis aims to investigate the relationship of ML-CSR and EC with the mediating effect of work engagement (WE) in the hotel sector of a developing country. The study also attempts to extend the boundary of social identity theory in a collectivistic culture to explain the link between ML-CSR and EC. The data were collected from hotel employees (n = 461) and were analyzed with the help of structural equation modeling. The findings validated that ML-CSR positively influenced EC, and WE mediated this relationship. The current work offers different contributions to the theory and the field which are discussed in detail.

“…In fact, the driving factors of creativity can be divided into situational factors and individual factors ( Kim and Kim, 2017 ). Compared with the temporary and limited influence of situational factors, individual factors can consistently and continuously influence creativity ( Ahmad et al, 2022 ). Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the influence of individual factors of students’ creativity, so as to explore the stability and long-term antecedents of creativity promotion under the project-based learning mode.…”

“…At this time, psychological safety is especially important to students. Psychological safety, as a group analysis of working environment and team as a whole ( Dar et al, 2022 ), is the belief of individuals that it is safe to take interpersonal risks of the team ( Ahmad et al, 2022 ). Under the uncertainty and fuzziness, the higher the psychological safety, the more likely the team members are to express different opinions and share their own knowledge, so as to enhance their creativity in freely speaking information exchange ( McClintock et al, 2022 ; Xu et al, 2022 ).…”

Creative-oriented new educational model will shape the direction and appearance of world development. This study focuses on the role of psychological safety and psychological empowerment in improving students’ creativity in the context of project-based learning from the perspective of student empowerment. Based on self-determination theory, we propose that psychological safety positively affects students’ creativity through psychological empowerment, and fault-tolerant culture plays a positive role in it. In this study, 238 students who participated in project-based learning were randomly selected to conduct a questionnaire survey. The results show that there is a positive correlation between psychological safety and creativity, and psychological empowerment plays an intermediary role in the relationship between them. The fault-tolerant culture enhances the direct influence of psychological safety on psychological empowerment and the indirect influence of psychological safety on creativity. Theoretical and practical implications were also discussed.
