Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, researchers have produced an array of literature on corporate sustainability. Corporate sustainability in turn is an important aspect of business today, whether because it can increase company sales or because it is a tool that helps firms avoid the risks that exist in business. Corporate sustainability can generally be defined as positive performance in the economic, social, and environmental fields without compromising future performance. In addition, it can be said that a corporation’s pursuit of sustainable values, including social responsibility activities, is important because this can improve the voluntary behavior of employees, which is ultimately helpful to the organization itself.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to examine how the organizational climate, CSR, and sustainable values impact the sustainable and green behavior of employees in the hospitality industry.

We welcome articles covering CSR and sustainable values in the hospitality industry, including the hotel and tourism sectors. We encourage a variety of studies, including surveys, case studies, experimental designs, and big data analyses.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Organizational culture;
  • Corporate social responsibility;
  • Corporate social sustainability;
  • Leadership;
  • Employee well-being;
  • Employees’ sustainable behavior;
  • Employees’ green behavior;
  • The hospitality and tourism industries.

This study explores the relationship between environmental behavior, job satisfaction, performance, and burnout using latent class analysis (LCA) to identify distinct behavioral patterns. Data were collected from 537 participants in various sectors, including education and health. Five latent classes were identified based on the participation of participants in sustainable practices. The analysis revealed significant differences in job satisfaction, with higher participation in sustainable behaviors generally associated with greater job satisfaction. Although performance remained stable across classes, burnout levels varied significantly, with some groups showing higher levels of stress and burnout and others demonstrating better psychological outcomes. The results confirm that sustainable behaviors are linked to psychological well-being, emphasizing the importance of fostering sustainability in the workplace to enhance employee well-being. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to address burnout and promote sustainability in organizational settings. Future research should explore these dynamics longitudinally and across diverse occupational and cultural contexts. Full article

Purpose: While the COVID-19 pandemic has presented challenges to many organizations, overcoming it has also provided an opportunity to refocus organizational sustainability. This study examined the relationship between the perceived fear of COVID-19 among deluxe hotel employees and their ages, psychological well-being, and turnover intent. It also tested the moderating effect of these employees’ sense of calling on the aforementioned relationship. Design/methodology/approach: The collected data were analyzed using Analysis MOment Structure (AMOS) and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The five hypotheses were validated using structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis. Findings: The results showed that the fear of COVID-19 was strong among young employees (Beta = −0.160) and that employees’ psychological well-being (Beta = −0.299) diminished as this fear grew. Psychological well-being negatively influenced turnover intent (Beta = −0.234). Finally, the fear of COVID-19 exerted a minimal effect on the psychological well-being of employees with a strong sense of calling. Full article

Society at large has become increasingly concerned about climate change and sustainable development, so tourism and travel service providers have begun to focus more actively on sustainable development goals. Prior research has shown that supervisors’ support fosters employee green behavior and companies’ environmental performance. This study concentrated on Portuguese hospitality contexts to develop a fuller understanding of how organizations’ green efforts can combine with the individual variables highlighted by the theory of planned behavior (TPB) (i.e., attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control) to encourage supervisors’ organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE). Data on 74 hotel managers were collected with an online survey. Multiple regression analysis revealed that perceived green organizational climate positively correlates with TPB variables, thereby increasing supervisors’ intention to adopt and encourage OCBE in their workplaces. These findings clarify how organizational and individual factors foster managers’ OCBE. The results have practical implications for organizations seeking to promote their managers’ pro-environmental behavior to boost their environmental sustainability. Full article

The Game Theory is aiding global tourism research to leverage destination appeal and competitiveness in the context of climate change advocacy. As global tourism continues to play a vital role in economic development and cultural exchange, there is a growing need to unravel the complexities of tourist behavior and destination competitiveness. Therefore, this study aims to utilize the Game Theory to investigate the relationships between Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), Regenerative Tourism Destination Competitiveness (RTDC), Tourist Visit Intention (TVI), and Destination Loyalty (DL) within the UAE, with the moderating role of Climate Advocacy. An online survey (using Google Forms) was distributed via social media platforms (primarily Facebook groups), resulting in data collection from 296 respondents. Smart PLS 4 and SPSS were utilized for data analysis. The findings revealed that RTDC had significant positive relationships with FOMO, DL, and TVI, thus supporting hypotheses 1 to 10. However, the hypothesis regarding Climate Advocacy moderating DL and TVI was not supported. Based on the Game Theory, this study contributes to the theoretical understanding of regenerative tourism destination competitiveness and offers practical implications for destination management strategies. Limitations include reliance on self-reported data and context-specific considerations. Future studies should also consider cultural contexts, to enhance the external validity of research outcomes.
