“…Moreover, given the results of the partial mediation effects, future research may explore other potential psychological mechanisms that transfer the positive influence of leaders' VGWB on green innovation at the team level. For instance, from the goal perspective, when leaders demonstrate voluntary green behavior, team members working together may perceive the importance of green innovation [70]; therefore, their teams' goal of engaging in green activities could be built towards green innovation. Moreover, since previous studies have illustrated that followers' positive emotions (e.g., harmonious passion for environmental sustainability) driven by leaders' green-oriented behavior would increase their (followers') environmental behavior [15], future research could expand on this and assess leaders' specific green voluntary behavior exerting effects on team level support and motivation towards achieving environmental sustainability and then on multiple green innovative outcomes.…”

Given the increasing significance of green innovation, scholars have identified environment-oriented leader behavior as a key antecedent of green innovation in firms. However, despite the fact that previous studies highlight all kinds of benefits of environment-oriented leaders’ voluntary workplace green behavior (VWGB) in and for firms, little is known about how these leaders’ VWGB could affect a firm team’s green product innovation as well as their process innovation. To narrow this research gap, this study theorizes and tests the effect of leaders’ VWGB on their team’s green innovation, as well as the mediation effect of team green efficacy belief on this relationship. Using a time-lagged research design, we collected data from 497 employees and 80 leaders in Chinese manufacturing firms. The results show that leaders’ VWGB directly affects both their team’s green product and process innovation, and facilitates the development of team green efficacy, which in turn stimulates team green innovation. This present study extends the multilevel phenomena by reinforcing the importance of leaders’ VWGB and team green efficacy on team-level green innovation, and provides practical implications on developing leadership for environmentally sustainable innovation.

“…This creates a significant impact on the environment and hotels must do their part and take a proactive approach to reducing their impact (Brown, 1996;Park et al, 2014). Hotels can potentially not only take a leadership role in the transformation to a green economy (Mittal and Dhar, 2016;United Nations World Tourism Organization, 2007) but also in the betterment of the environment overall.…”

PurposeThis paper presents the findings of an analysis of the Environmentally Sustainable Policies and Practices (ESPPs) employed by independent and chain affiliated hotels. The study aimed to ascertain the engagement of hotels with ESPPs and provide tentative evidence of their commitment towards meeting the expectations of environmentally conscious stakeholders. Design/methodology/approachThis study utilised secondary data and content analysis to examine the ESPPs of a sample of 220 hotels in Melbourne, Australia. A systematic review was conducted of hotel websites to reveal, in a tabulated way, the range of reporting of environmental material provided by various rated hotels. FindingsThis analysis suggests that environmentally friendly business practices are prominently displayed by the hotels sampled, however, independent non-chain affiliated hotels are yet to adopt ESPPs in any visible way. Originality/valueThis study was broadly informed by stakeholder theory (Freeman, 1984) and aimed to ascertain the engagement of hotels with ESPPs. While previous studies have focused on chain hotels, this research involved a greater range of hotels of different profiles to highlight the mix of ESPPs across the hotel sector. Rather than merely examining the corporate websites of hotel companies, the research additionally examined ESPPs at the individual hotel property level, as this is where policies are implemented into practice. The extant literature to date has not studied the extent to which ESPPs are adopted by independent and chain affiliated hotels at this level, and it is this research gap that the study addresses.

“…In essence, senior management's operating philosophy motivates its franchise business to fulfill social goals and objectives, and advocates business engagement with a socially-oriented perspective [14]. Thus, it is necessary to assess the relationship between leadership possessed by senior management and organizational practices and/or strategies (e.g., CSR initiatives) [15].…”

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become a major part of the foodservice industry due to external forces which encourage enterprises' responsiveness. In reality, consumers' social concern influences their attitudes towards foodservice firms' socially responsible practices and purchase decisions, thereby influencing senior management to react. Considering this issue, this study examines the impact of senior management's ethical leadership in evaluating operational, commercial, and economic performances along with the mediating role of CSR in the foodservice industry. A conceptual model was formulated and empirically tested based on responses from 196 foodservice franchise firms in South Korea. The results indicated ethical leadership significantly influenced CSR and operational performance, while CSR also had a positive effect on operational and commercial performances. Additionally, operational performance had a significantly positive influence on commercial performance, which subsequently enhanced economic performance. Overall, the findings highlight the role that ethical leadership exhibited by senior management of foodservice franchises influenced initiation of CSR activities, which provide implications for research and industry practice and is outlined.
