This study, which focuses on employees' non-green behavior, corresponds with global interest in green performance. The goal of this study was to examine how green transformational leadership (GTL) affects non-green behavior (NGB) in the hotel industry, with green work engagement (GWE) and green knowledge sharing (GKS) acting as mediators. Data was collected from full-time employees working in five-star hotels operating in Egypt. The PLS-SEM approach was used to analyze 390 valid responses collected by Warppls v.7. The findings revealed that GTL is positively associated with GWE; however, GTL is negatively associated with NGB. In addition, the results revealed that GWE and GKS negatively associated with NGB. Moreover, the negative link between GTL and NGB is found to be mediated by GWE and GKS. Theoretically, screening the literature in the hospitality field revealed that there hasn't been ample research conducted to explain how non-green behaviors might be avoided. The authors' research also reveals a knowledge gap in the mechanisms connecting green transformational leadership, workplace engagement, and knowledge sharing with non-green behavior in hotel businesses. The study shed light on how cutting-edge concepts like green transformational leadership, green work engagement, and knowledge sharing interact to anticipate and reduce non-green behavior in the hotel business. Practically, hotel management should formulate and deliver environmental training programs that would enhance green transformational leadership competencies, get employees committed to paying attention to the involvement in the green processes, and diminish the non-green behavior in hotel enterprises. This study makes a significant theoretical contribution by advancing the understanding of how GTL influences employees' non-green behavior, particularly within the context of five-star hotels in Egypt. By incorporating GKS and GWE as mediators, the study builds on existing leadership and sustainability literature, offering a more nuanced perspective on the mechanisms through which GTL fosters environmentally friendly behaviors. It expands the theoretical framework of GTL by highlighting the importance of knowledge dissemination and engagement in promoting sustainable practices among employees. Additionally, the study enriches the understanding of non-green behavior by linking it to green leadership and work engagement.

PurposeThe purpose of this study intends to examine the influence of green human resource management (GHRM) on green service behaviors through the mediating effect of green knowledge sharing based on bank employees' perceptions.Design/methodology/approachThe study analyzes 365 frontline employees' perceptions from the banking industry in Bangladesh using partial least square.FindingsThe findings show a significant positive direct influence of GHRM on green in-role, extra-role service behavior and green knowledge sharing. Green knowledge sharing is also found to have a significant mediating effect between GHRM and green service behaviors.Research limitations/implicationsThis study considers perceptions of employees of the private commercial banking organizations, and thereby, its findings cannot be generalized for all other service organizations in the context of Bangladesh.Practical implicationsThe study demonstrates that GHRM can influence employees' green service behaviors via green knowledge sharing.Originality/valueGreen banking is an emerging trend that deserves more attention. There is growing recognition that green banking is not an “automatic” process but requires that banking management promote green service behavior among their employees. This study extends the research on GHRM by focusing on how it impacts green service behavior through the mediating role of green knowledge sharing. The paper provides practical insights for organizations looking to improve green service behaviors among employees.

PurposeThe manufacturing industry has recently faced many environmental issues and pressures due to increased environmental awareness. Business leaders identified that green innovation (GI) is a crucial aspect of sustainable development (SD) and can provide a competitive edge. On the other hand, boosting SD through GI is a complicated network activity involving various partners, and there is a need to transmit or share knowledge equitably and acceptably. Following the natural resource-based view (NRBV), this research presents a novel framework for investigating how green knowledge sharing (GKS) and green dynamic capabilities (GDC) affect green creativity (GC) and GI directly and through GC. Besides, the moderation of mimetic pressure (MP) was also evaluated in these targeted relations, as it is a critical element for enhancing GI in the context of SD.Design/methodology/approachData consisted 232 respondents from Pakistani manufacturing industries, and seven substantial hypotheses were verified regarding the direct, mediating and moderating effect of targeted variables in confounding ways using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsAccording to the empirical findings, GKS and GDC positively correlate with GC and GI. Moreover, GKS and GDC significantly and positively impact GI both directly and indirectly. Furthermore, GC partially mediates GI, whereas MP has a significant moderating effect in these relationships.Originality/valueA significant correlation among these constructs was observed, demonstrating the conceptual framework for this study. These findings can assist practitioners and academics gain a better understanding of how to manage and evaluate GI in manufacturing projects at both the project and firm levels. Therefore, policymakers and project managers can enhance GI by focusing more on GKS, GDC, MP and GC.

This study aims to investigate the relationship among green knowledge sharing, green dynamic capabilities, green service innovation, and green competitive advantage. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and CFA. The results are as follows: First, the author found that latent variables have good reliability, as well as discriminant and convergent validity. Global model analysis of green knowledge sharing yields acceptable results. Second, according to structural equation modeling analysis, the overall fit measures of the green knowledge sharing model scale passes the threshold standard (χ 2  = 810.66, p  < .05, GFI = 0.83, RMSEA = 0.094, NFI = 0.87, CFI = 0.90, SRMR = 0.051, NNFI = 0.88, PNFI = 0.76, CN = 101.95, χ 2 /df = 4.43). Third, the author discovered that green knowledge sharing improves green dynamic capacities, green service innovation, and green competitive advantage. Green dynamic capabilities positively affect green service innovation and green competitive advantage. Furthermore, it was found that green dynamic capacities and green service innovation mediate the positive relationship between green knowledge sharing and green competitive advantage. The results demonstrate that green dynamic capabilities and green service innovation mediates the positive relationships between green knowledge sharing and green competitive advantage. In addition, this study indicates that green service innovation partially mediates the positive relationships between green competitive advantage and its antecedent—green dynamic advantage.

PurposeGreen innovation (GI) in megaprojects has become a significant research topic that attracts both megaproject management scholars' and practitioners' attention. Green transformational leadership (GTL) is acknowledged as an important antecedent to GI in the permanent context. However, limited research investigates the mechanism and condition of how GTL effectively affects GI in the temporary (i.e. megaproject) context. This study seeks to examine the mechanism and condition of GTL in improving GI by assessing the mediating role of green knowledge sharing (GKS) and the moderating effect of innovation climate (IC).Design/methodology/approachRegression analysis was performed on data obtained from 303 experts who have been involved in megaprojects.FindingsGTL has a significant positive impact on two aspects of GI, including green product innovation (GPDI) and green process innovation (GPCI). Besides, GKS mediates the relationship between GTL and the two aspects of GI. Moreover, IC plays a significantly positive moderating role in the relationship between GTL and GKS and the relationship between GKS and the two aspects of GI.Originality/valueThis study adds knowledge to the theory and practice by unveiling the “black box” between GTL and GI in the temporary (i.e. megaproject) context. First, this study extends the continuing discussion on the direct effect of GTL on GI to the temporary (i.e. megaproject) context. Second, this study facilitates the understanding of the mechanism to generate better GI performance considering the mediating role of GKS and the moderating effect of IC in the temporary (i.e. megaproject) context. The results can illuminate megaproject practitioners on generating better GI performance.

Purpose Drawing upon the natural resource-based view (NRBV), organizational learning (OL) and contingency theories, this paper aims to develop and test a theoretical framework that examines the impact of green inclusive leadership on green innovation in business-to-business (B2B) context. This framework further examines the simple and serial mediation of green knowledge acquisition and sharing and the moderation of internal corporate social responsibility(CSR) communication. Design/methodology/approach Using survey questionnaires, authors collected multiwave data from 215 middle managers from different manufacturing and production organizations operating in Pakistan. The hypotheses were inspected using the PROCESS macro. Findings According to the findings, green inclusive leadership and green innovation are positively associated, and green knowledge acquisition and green knowledge sharing are efficient serial mediators of this relationship. Furthermore, the results suggest that internal CSR communication moderates the serial mediation such that the indirect relationship between green inclusive leadership and green innovation was stronger at high levels of internal CSR communication rather than at lower levels. Practical implications This research offers implications for manufacturing industry leaders and policymakers. Green inclusive leadership nurtures green knowledge dynamics, making it vital for achieving United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and promoting ecological stewardship. Investing in green knowledge processes and transparent internal CSR communication can enhance sustainable innovation and align with broader sustainability goals in organizations predominantly operating under the B2B model. Originality/value By merging NRBV, OL and contingency theories and drawing links across different genres of literature, this study provides unique insight into leadership, knowledge management, corporate communication, sustainability and CSR and innovation in the B2B sector.

PurposeDrawing on conservation of resources and social exchange theories, the authors build and test a theoretical model examining the association of environmentally-specific empowering leadership (ESEL) with green creativity as well as the mediating and moderating roles of green knowledge sharing behavior and green psychological climate, respectively, in this association.Design/methodology/approachData were collected in three different waves from 265 employees working in three-, four- and five-star hotels located in major cities in Pakistan. EFA, CFA and PROCESS macro were utilized to validate the study's research model and to examine the hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicated that ESEL is positively associated with green creativity, and green knowledge sharing behavior is an effective underlying mechanism between the ESEL–green creativity association. Furthermore, this study’s findings suggested that green psychological climate moderates the direct and indirect associations such that the associations were stronger when green psychological climate was more positive rather than less positive.Practical implicationsThe study provides important lessons to managers and policymakers about the benefits of ESEL to achieving green employee creativity within the hospitality sector and helps to contextualize the importance and relevance of addressing global challenges in light of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Originality/valueThe study is the first to explore the green adaptation of empowering leadership, its effects, mechanisms and boundary conditions.

PurposeThis study examines the direct and indirect effects of green intellectual capital (GIC) and innovative work behavior (IWB) on green process innovation performance (GPIP), with green knowledge sharing (GKS) as a mediator, in Pakistan’s hospitality industry. The aim is to provide a paradigm for assisting companies in transforming strategic green processes of green hotel innovation and its practices.Design/methodology/approachA total of 203 questionnaires were administered to front-desk officers of 15 hotels in Pakistan. Smart PLS-SEM 4 was used for analysis, and demographic statistics were analyzed using SPSS 21.0.FindingsGIC (green human capital, green organizational capital and green relational capital) and IWB significantly and positively influence GPIP. GKS strengthens the relationships of GIC and IWB with GPIP. Finally, all hypotheses were significant and the constructs showed a positive association.Originality/valueResearch studies have revealed the impact of GIC on the hotel industry’s competitive advantage. However, the mechanisms underlying those impacts remain relatively underexplored. This study makes valuable contributions by providing crucial evidence from Pakistan’s hospitality industry.

In a period of rapid information development and response to the impact of environmentalism on the company, how to effectively promote organizational members embracing knowledge sharing behavior through knowledge management will be an important issue in corporate green management. This article proposes a new integrated multi-level research framework based on organizational identity theory and psychological ownership theory to further analyze enterprise green management. Utilizing the data of 73 supervisors and 583 subordinates in Taiwan’s small- or medium-sized enterprises, results of the hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) analysis revealed that green group identification at the team level affects organizational members in terms of green product psychological ownership and green knowledge sharing as well as how green knowledge sharing, green creativity, and green product development performance are influenced when members get their green product psychological ownership. The results of the study validate the antecedents and consequences of green knowledge sharing and broaden the field of knowledge management for green management related to environmental behavior and performance, aside from providing valuable insights for relevant practitioners.

Drawing on social exchange theory, this study investigates the serial mediation relationship between ecocentric leadership, green knowledge sharing, green ambidexterity, and organizational green innovation. Additionally, it examines the moderating effects of technological orientation. Data were collected from 623 hotel employees working in the Guangdong-China hospitality industry. The structural model was analyzed using Mplus 8.6 to test the proposed model. The results indicate that ecocentric leadership has a positive influence on organizational green innovation. This relationship is mediated by green knowledge sharing and green ambidexterity, individually and sequentially. Furthermore, the mediated relationship between ecocentric leadership and organizational green innovation, facilitated through green knowledge sharing, is moderated by technological orientation. The findings suggest that fostering ecocentric leadership and enhancing technological orientation for the hospitality sector can significantly boost green innovation. Hospitality organizations should promote green knowledge sharing and ambidexterity to drive sustainable practices and innovations. This study contributes to how ecocentric leadership influences organizational green innovation through green knowledge sharing and ambidexterity. It highlights the importance of technological orientation as a moderating factor, providing valuable insights for hospitality industry practitioners.
