摘要

本研究旨在检验马来西亚酒店高层管理者的环境承诺(EC)在三个关键变量(即主观规范、感知利益和环境知识)与绿色实践的采用之间的中介作用。本研究还评估了这些变量之间的直接联系。共有147位酒店高层管理者上交了完整有效的问卷。参与者包括高层管理人员，如业主、总经理、首席执行官和高级管理人员，他们对酒店的绿色实践拥有管理自由裁量权。研究发现，高层管理人员的EC与酒店采用绿色实践有显著关系。主观规范(即感知到的利益相关者压力)和环境知识对高层管理者的电子商务有直接影响。另一方面，酒店的绿色实践主要由环境知识和感知利益来解释。研究发现，高层管理人员的主观规范和绿色实践之间的关系完全中介。此外，电子商务在环境知识与绿色实践之间的联系中起到部分中介作用。这些发现表明，通过不同的平台接触环境知识，并经常监测利益相关者的期望，有利于提高酒店高层管理人员的环境承诺，并接受绿色实践。

Hotels’ Green Practices Adoption: Determinants and Top Managers’ Environmental Commitment

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.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
