Abstract

This research examines the influence of responsible leadership on environmental performance and organizational green culture within the hospitality sector. In light of increasing environmental challenges, responsible leadership—defined by its stakeholder-oriented approach—has emerged as a critical driver of sustainable practices. The research tests a conceptual model using data from 572 employees and managers in four- and five-star hotels in Antalya, Türkiye. Key hypotheses include the positive effects of responsible leadership on both environmental performance and organizational green culture. Additionally, this study investigates the mediating role of green culture and the moderating effect of employees' eco-friendly behavior. Results confirm that responsible leadership positively impacts environmental performance and green culture, with green culture partially mediating this relationship. Furthermore, eco-friendly behavior amplifies the influence of green culture on environmental outcomes. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating responsible leadership and cultivating a green organizational culture to enhance sustainability efforts. Practical implications for hospitality management include prioritizing sustainability-oriented leadership and fostering eco-conscious behaviors among employees. Future research may explore longitudinal data and expand the model to different cultural contexts.

作为调节因素的环保行为：负责任的领导如何通过酒店行业的组织绿色文化塑造环境绩效？

本研究考察了负责任的领导对环境绩效和组织绿色文化在酒店业的影响。鉴于日益严峻的环境挑战，以利益相关者为导向的负责任领导已成为可持续实践的关键驱动力。该研究使用了来自土耳其安塔利亚四星级和五星级酒店的572名员工和经理的数据，对一个概念模型进行了测试。主要假设包括负责任领导对环境绩效和组织绿色文化的积极影响。此外，本研究还探讨了绿色文化的中介作用和员工环保行为的调节作用。结果证实，负责任领导对环境绩效和绿色文化有正向影响，绿色文化在其中起部分中介作用。此外，环保行为放大了绿色文化对环境结果的影响。研究结果强调了整合负责任的领导和培养绿色组织文化以加强可持续发展努力的重要性。酒店管理的实际意义包括优先考虑以可持续发展为导向的领导和培养员工的生态意识行为。未来的研究可以探索纵向数据，并将模型扩展到不同的文化背景。
