Abstract
This research aims to analyze the green behavior of hotel back-of-house employees by examining how ideology-based culture, employee green regulatory fit, and employee green organizational fit influence the relationship between green organizational identity and employees' pro-environmental actions, both voluntary and task-related. Data were collected from a two-wave survey of 489 employees through self-administered questionnaires over three months in 2024 in St. Petersburg and Clearwater, Florida, USA. The analysis showed that employee green organizational fit and employee green regulatory fit are positively associated with both voluntary and task-related green behaviors. The findings suggest that a green organizational identity and culture significantly impact employees' environmentally friendly actions. Furthermore, the results indicate that organizations can boost employees' green behavior by fostering strong alignment between employee values and their organizational commitment to sustainability.
