“…Although sustainable tourism is still under-investigated in comparison with other industries (Coles et al 2013;Tamajòn and Font Aulet 2013) the sustainability orientation appears even more important in this context. Indeed, tourism is a people-centred industry, based on interaction with human resources, cultural and environmental assets and the host community in the destination (Kalisch 2002).…”

“…à falta de consciência das vantagens que podem advir da implementação da gestão ambiental em suas atividades de negócios (Brammer et al, 2012;Hillary, 2004;Massoud, Fayad, El-Fadel, & Kamleh, 2010) e/ou à percepção de que essas atividades são onerosas (Simpson, Taylor, & Barker, 2004;Shi, Peng, Liu, & Zhong, 2008;Tilley, 1999;Tamajón & Aulet, 2013 (Simpson et al, 2004;Tilley, 1999), mostrando que, em uma relação custo versus benefício, a vantagem da melhoria ambiental tende a ser superada pelo total de gastos (Battisti & Perry, 2011;Worthington & Patton, 2005). Para Brammer et al (2012), o fato de as PMEs não reconhecerem os benefícios de ser ambientalmente responsável tem mantido, na infância, a gestão ambiental nas empresas de menor porte.…”

“…Muitas vezes, as atitudes das PMEs são similares em relação ao meio ambiente, por exemplo, ao considerarem medidas de gestão ambiental como inapropriadas ou desnecessárias (Tikul, 2014), desconhecerem a extensão de seus impactos (Zorpas, 2010) ou adotarem a visão de que seus negócios não têm qualquer problema ambiental. Assim, a maioria das empresas de menor porte percebe seus impactos no meio ambiente como ínfimos ou inexistentes (Battisti & Perry, 2011;Perez-Sanchez et al, 2003;Redmond, Walker, & Wang, 2008) e, portanto, não destina recursos específicos para a resolução de problemas ambientais (Fernández-Viñe et al, 2010); • Falta de tempo do dirigente: barreiras para a implementação de ações ambientais também estão relacionadas à disponibilidade de tempo dos dirigentes (Halila, 2007;McKeiver & Gadenne, 2005;Studer et al, 2006;Tamajón & Aulet, 2013;Worthington & Patton, 2005). Para Halila e Tell (2013), a restrição de tempo pode ser considerada como uma das mais desafiantes barreiras a serem superadas pelas PMEs com relação à adoção da gestão ambiental, pois muitos dirigentes, apesar de posturas favoráveis ao meio ambiente, trabalham por longas jornadas diárias, não tendo tempo para realizar tarefas adicionais (Rutherfoord et al, 2000).…”

“…E. Lee et al (2012) find that the good reputation of CSR can stimulate employees' positive perceptions of their companies, encourage more solid organizational attachment and commitment to their companies, indirectly increase job satisfaction, and thus reduce employee turnover rate. When considering that CSR has its roots in stakeholder theory (E. Lee et al 2012), it is natural to recognize the needs for understanding the employees' roles and behaviors in CSR practice as well as their perceptions of it, especially in the hotel industry where the high quality of services are dependent on their abilities and performance (Buchner 2012;Tamajon and Aulet 2013). Therefore, a study that specifically focuses on employees' perceptions of CSR is called for to expand the knowledge base of CSR in the hospitality industry.…”
