Abstract
Purpose – This study uses hotel employees to examine how green knowledge sharing (GKS),
mediated by green autonomy (GA) and moderated by green rewards and compensation
(GRC), influences pro-environmental workplace behaviours (WEFB).
Methodology/Design/Approach – In this study, cross-sectional data from 415 hotel employees
in Ghana were analysed using PLS-SEM. Bootstrapping with 10,000 subsamples was
conducted to determine the significance of the hypotheses.
Findings – This study established that both GKS and GA influenced WEFB. GKS also
influenced GA which in turn played a mediating role in the influence of GKS on WEFB.
Practical implications – Organisations are encouraged to enhance the acquisition of green
knowledge of their employees and follow it up by encouraging the sharing of acquired
green knowledge with their co-workers to boost the adoption of environmentally friendly
behaviours.
Originality of the research – A rare statistical method in green hospitality research was used
to uncover the relationships between GKS, GA, GRC, and WEFB.
