“…Lastly, hotel guests from a developing country such as Pakistan might have a lower level of environmental awareness. Recent investigations [17,18] on customer behavior toward environmentalism in developing countries have identified customers as inconsequential stakeholders with little to no knowledge about environmental issues.…”

“…Pakistan, a developing market, presents a different country-level context. The attitude and behavior of customers toward the environmental activities of firms including hotels are very different from that of customers from developed economies [17,18]. Hence, in order to better understand factors affecting the proenvironmental behavior of hotel guests, a comprehensive model using the moral norm-activation theory by Schwartz [19] and the theory of planned behavior [20] was proposed and analyzed.…”

The current study sought to extend the literature on antecedents of the green behavioral intentions of hotel guests in a developing country context. Building on the theory of planned behavior and moral norm-activation theory, antecedents of the green behavioral intentions of hotel guests were proposed and tested using a developing country as a field of study. Data were collected from 203 hotel guests, and the proposed model was analyzed using a structural equation modeling technique. The results showed that altruism helps in developing positive attitudes, and these attitudes have a significant influence on hotel guests’ green behavioral intentions. Similarly, cognitive aspects, including quality attributes and value for money, also play a role in developing positive intentions for willingness to pay more and revisit intentions. Inconvenience has a significant negative impact on revisit intentions, and quality attributes have a significant positive impact on willingness to pay more.

“…Meanwhile, the Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, 1984) contends that businesses should take care of different stakeholders' well-being, instead of merely focusing on maximizing profit. Stakeholders' demands have increasingly emerged as social pressure that can influence organizational strategy in recent years, as organizations must conform to regulatory requirements and accepted norms of behavior in the society Saleem et al, 2020).…”

“…Managers' environmental knowledge is not meaningful if it is unable to build the commitment that can lead to green actions. Thus far, only some studies (e.g., Cantor et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2015;Saleem et al, 2020) evaluated the linkage between top managers' environmental commitment (EC) and green practices in the hotel industry. Moreover, factors that shape such commitment among the top managers remain under-explored.…”

This study aims to examine the mediating effects of top managers’ environmental commitment (EC) between three key variables (i.e., subjective norms, perceived benefits, and environmental knowledge) and the adoption of green practices in Malaysian hotels. This study also evaluates the direct linkages among these variables. A total of 147 hotel top managers returned the completed and valid questionnaires. The participants consisted of top managers, such as owners, general managers, CEOs, and senior managers who possess managerial discretion regarding the hotel’s green practices. Top managers’ EC was found to be significantly related to green practices adoption in the hotels. Subjective norms (i.e., perceived stakeholder pressure) and environmental knowledge showed direct influences on top managers’ EC. On the other hand, the hotels’ green practices were mainly explained by environmental knowledge and perceived benefits. Top managers’ EC was found to fully mediate the relationship between subjective norms and green practices. Besides, EC partially mediates the linkage between environmental knowledge and green practices. These findings suggest that exposure to environmental knowledge through different platforms and frequent monitoring of the stakeholders' expectations are beneficial in enhancing environmental commitment among hotel top managers and embracing green practices.

The scientific community’s growing interest in green marketing research can be traced through the abundance of published literature on the topic. However, there is still a lack of a comprehensive and systematic research focusing on the evolution of this field. The main objective of this paper was to consolidate the state-of-the-art research on green marketing through a bibliometric study of articles published from 1977 to 2020, and to analyze and present the results from the perspective of growing trends in the field; productive and influential countries, institutions, authors, articles, and research journals; keywords; authorship patterns; and international collaborations. The study results indicate a gradual increase in green marketing research from 1977 to 2020, more so in the last five years. A total of 1025 scholarly documents were published in 634 journals during this period and listed in the Web of Science (WOS). The top 10 most productive countries were then analyzed. A great number of institutions from both developing countries (in terms of article count) and developed countries (in terms of citation scores), were compared. Finally, based on keywords and a three-factor analysis, it was concluded that green marketing, sustainability, sustainable development, environment marketing and sustainable marketing have attracted extensive attention during the past decade as keywords.
