Abstract

The main purpose of the study is to examine the mediating role of green innovation (GI) and the moderating role of stakeholder engagement (SE) in the impact of environmental sustainability practices (ESPs) on green performance (PERF) in the hospitality sector based in Egypt. Data were collected from 236 employees of Egypt's 5-star hotels. The data were analyzed in Smart-PLS.The findings demonstrate that higher levels of environmental sustainability practices (support for host communities (S), waste management (W), and conservation projects (C) and green product innovation (Gpro), as well as green process innovation (Gprc), lead to improved measures of green performance. Therefore, green product innovation and green process innovation partially mediate environmental sustainability practices and green performance linkages. Furthermore, the findings confirm that SE moderates the direct and indirect impact of environmental sustainability practices on hotel green performance, using green innovation as a mediating mechanism.

酒店业的绿色协同作用：揭示环境可持续发展实践与酒店绿色绩效之间的联系

本研究的主要目的是研究绿色创新（GI）的中介作用和利益相关者参与（SE）在环境可持续性实践（esp）对埃及酒店业绿色绩效（PERF）的影响中的调节作用。数据收集自埃及五星级酒店的236名员工。数据在Smart-PLS中进行分析。研究结果表明，更高水平的环境可持续性实践(对东道社区的支持(S)、废物管理(W)和保护项目(C)、绿色产品创新（Gpro）以及绿色过程创新（Gprc）可以改善绿色绩效指标。因此，绿色产品创新和绿色工艺创新在一定程度上调解了环境可持续性实践和绿色绩效之间的联系。此外，研究结果还证实，以绿色创新为中介机制，环境可持续实践对酒店绿色绩效的直接和间接影响均受SE的调节。
