Study on Hotel Environmental Performance as a Result of Green Practices and Spirituality

Recent research in environmental management suggests that improving environmental outcomes is largely dependent on employee behavior.Nevertheless, little research has been done to ascertain how green initiative behavior and organizational environmental performance are related.Based on this, this study aims to examine the relationship between Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) and spiritual leadership on hotel environmental performance with green work engagement as a mediating factor based on the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory.Data were collected from 350 hotel housekeeping employees in West Sumatra, Indonesia, which were processed using modeling of structural equations.The study reveals that GHRM and spiritual leadership enhance green work engagement and hotel environmental performance.Therefore, organizations must understand that a stressful work environment requires an internal drive from employees (intrinsic motivation) to achieve extraordinary results.Therefore, organizations need to support the achievement of this motivation by implementing GHRM practices and developing aspects of spirituality.This step aims to foster intrinsic enthusiasm in employees, which will ultimately inspire them to exceed expectations and contribute more to the performance of the organization's environment.
