Abstract

The hotel industry is one of the sectors that largely increases the environmental burden. Therefore, due to the large number of environmental problems faced by the hotel industry, there is a growing force for the companies and their stakeholders to respond correctly to environmental concerns and to introduce sustainable business practices such as the adoption of green practices. This study used a research model to explore the relationship between green HRM practices in the Egyptian hotels. Structural equation modelling was utilised to analyse data collected from 910 hotels. The research findings revealed that green recruiting and selection, green training and development, and green compensation have a meaningful sustainable performance relationship. The study provides hotel managers with meaningful implications on how to use GHRM in improving their business performance.

1. Introduction

Without a doubt, the effect of assembling associations on the climate is a developing concern, prompting requests for manageable practices which meet ecological, monetary, and social requirements (Mousa and Othman, 2020; Sun, Liu, and Zhao, 2019). In fact, all associations are presently 'obliged' to put forth more attempt in adjusting their monetary, social, and natural execution, particularly for those with network, serious and administrative weights (Yusoff et al., 2020). Accomplishing this equilibrium is seen as a troublesome and, sometimes, disputable test (Al Kerdawy; Islam et al., 2020).

Anchored in Ability-Motivation-Opportunity theory (Yong et al., 2019), this investigation plans to clarify the connections between GHRM practices and OCBE. Also, the intelligent impacts of the GHRM practices of green preparing, green execution the board, and green representative inclusion on OCBE are examined through a blended procedure approach applied to lodgings situated in an arising, yet so far under-contemplated setting: Egypt. Consequently, this work makes a scaffold between two significant themes in the tourism industry and environmental management (Siyambalapitiya, Zhang, and Liu, 2018) and HRM (Pham, Tučková, and Jabbour, 2019), applied to the accommodation business. In any case, there is intricacy associated with executing powerful natural administration frameworks to improve ecological and social performance, then, positively affecting a firm's business performance (Zaid, Jaaron, and Bon, 2018); likewise, it is significant for associations to change their social mentalities by actualizing green conduct into their business measures as a moral prerequisite (Acquah, Agyabeng-Mensah, and Afum, 2020); an investigation by Lai et al. (2010) proposed that such difficulties can be drawn closer by spreading green belief systems in a cross functional way, not right through the standard assigned divisions (Kim et al., 2019).

A few investigations have discussed workers' ecological qualities as a fundamental angle as far as applying green culture and qualities, including the improvement of green item plans, maintainable use of assets, effective utilization of energy and contamination outflows, waste, and reusing (Pham et al., 2020). The greening of firms and natural manageability has become the plan of chiefs in the 21st century, and subsequently, new options in contrast to conventional (HRM) have been created. Ostensibly, HR is a force point for encouraging green and supportable activities, where natural manageability might be at the focal point and focal point of emergent GHRM research considers (Tang et al., 2018). Therefore, scientists zeroing in on HRM have given more consideration to the part of HRM in the greening of associations, as demonstrated by the significant number of significant diaries on the theme (e.g., Mishra, 2017; Yong, Yusliza, Ramayah, and Fawehinmi, 2019). There is little contention about the level of effect of these issues among natural trained professionals (EPA, 2018). All things considered, governments, customers, and specialists are given developing green chances and difficulties, since HRM rehearses have been generally delayed in tending to these ecological issues (Kim et al., 2019).
