“…Those reported were similar to those highlighted in the generic CSR and tourism CSR literatures including lack of understanding (Coles et al, 2013;Bohdanowicz et al, 2011), but in addition other barriers (not reported in the CSR literature)…”

“…In addition, sustainable design and green building practices have been increasingly used in heritage buildings in order to reduce human impacts on the local environment and culture (Erkus-Ozturk & Eraydin, 2010;Starr, 2013). Nevertheless, without doubt, the largest focus within tourism has been in the accommodation sector (for example, Knowles, Macmillan, Palmer, Grabowski & Hashimoto, 1999;Ayuso, 2006;Bohdanowicz, 2007;Bohdanowicz et al, 2011;Tsai, Tsang & Cheng, 2012;Chou, 2014). This focus may be because hotels are suggested to produce higher than average consumption of energy and water than other commercial buildings and, therefore, have a larger environmental impact (Bohdanowicz et al, 2011).…”

“…Research suggests a numbers of barriers as to why CSR initiatives are not incorporated into both general and tourism enterprises. These include: lack of resources and understanding (Coles et al, 2013), technical barriers, personal attitudes, top management organisational barriers, quality of communication and 12 administrative heritage (Bohdanowicz et al, 2011), weakly enforced environmental laws and regulations, scarce and intermittent green supply chain, non-existent trade pressure and poor tourist and community demand (Kasim & Ismail, 2012) and expense (Frey & George, 2010). Therefore, the more potential to change their environmental behaviour employees see, the less satisfied with their behaviour they will be, and where there are many barriers there is likely to be much potential to change behaviour.…”

“…In fact to achieve true and lasting environmental sustainability, the literature proposes that innovative fusion of GHRM and green supply chain management (GSCM) practices and policies is needed . This is substantiated with the findings that the greater the degree of alignment between HR and environmental issues the higher would be the adoption of green practices by firms (Renwick, Redman and Maguire 2008;Bohdanowicz, Zientara and Novotna, 2011;Wagner, 2013).…”

Recently Human Resources Management (HRM) functions such as recruitment, selection, training and performance evaluation are expected in considering environmental management (EM) issues. Environmental protective acts with adequate ecological knowledge and socioeconomic behavior and skills are referred to in this paper as green competencies. However, a systematic approach for developing and understanding key factors that enhance individuals' green competencies is lacking. This study contributes to green human resource literature by integrating environmental consumer behavior literature with traditional skills and competencies literature to help firms to select the right individuals to achieve their environmental goals. Using Robert's competencies framework and structural equation modeling (SEM), this paper empirically examines the influence of individual green competencies on organizations' green practices and performance objectives. Our model is tested using a sample of 1,230 employees working in key industries in the Chinese coastal city of Ningbo. The results indicate that acquired green competencies are more positively associated with individuals' green competencies and green behavior. The study empirically demonstrates that verifying acquired green competence attributes such as environmental knowledge, green purchase attitude and intention during employee selection would certainly be helpful for firms to identify individual green performance potential.

“…Although there is increasing demand for CSR ratings, CSR is multi-dimensional (Bohdanowicz, Zientara and Novotna, 2011;Chen and Delmas, 2010;Jackson and Apostolakou, 2010;Tyteca, 1996) and thus the multiple metrics required for this task make measurement and assessment of CSR daunting. A broad range of economic, social and environmental issues must be explicitly considered when constructing an effective CSR rating.…”

Abstract:This paper presents an investigation into frameworks used to conceptualise, monitor and compare corporate social responsibility (CSR). Presenting a new comparative framework that organises and communicates information detailing business performance on ten environmental policy initiatives (expressed by the acronym 'GREENER') using a CSR scale (expressed by the acronym 'VENUE'). This GREENER VENUE framework fills reduces the gap in the CSR literature by accentuating discretionary practices, by exhibiting conceptual and psychometric properties enabling its application to broad and diverse contexts. Grounded in theory, the framework is practical, simple to implement, easily understandable and highly relatable. Applying the GREENER VENUE framework to data collected via a self-administered Internet questionnaire of the UK conference and meeting venues reveals the majority of such venues are classified as 'Eager'.
