20.500.12556/RUL-143802 Do employees hold the key to environmental sustainability in tourism businesses? empirical evidence from a field study The tourism industry must reduce the negative impacts of its operations on the environment to secure its own prosperity into the future and to contribute to humanity’s collective aim of more sustainable production and consumption. An increasing number of studies in sustainable tourism have attempted to develop and test in the field the effectiveness of behavioural change interventions aimed at enticing tourism stakeholders in behaving more sustainably. These efforts have focused primarily on tourists. Employees have been largely neglected as potential agents of change, despite the substantial environmental consequences of their behaviours. This article pioneers this area of investigation. In a quasi-experimental field study conducted during regular operations of two hotels in Europe, we demonstrate that an equity-theory based behavioural intervention can successfully reduce the number of single-use shampoos dispensed by hotel cleaning staff during daily routine room cleans. Results are of immediate value to managers of tourism businesses – especially those of small and medium sized accommodation providers who do not have the financial means to make major infrastructure changes – by equipping them with a practical measure they can easily deploy to reduce the negative impact on the environment of their operations while also reducing their operating cost. tourism sustainable development environmental protection sustainability workforce staff experiment equity theory turizem trajnostni razvoj varstvo okolja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-01-12 11:51:37 2023-01-12 11:57:17 2024-02-13 03:37:02 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 245–258 no. 2 Vol. 32 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 338.48 0966-9582 10.1080/09669582.2022.2131796 126731523 Do_employees_hold_the_key_to_environmental_sustainability_in_tourism_businesses__Empirical_evidence_from_a_field_study_(1).pdf Do_employees_hold_the_key_to_environmental_sustainability_in_tourism_businesses__Empirical_evidence_from_a_field_study_(1).pdf 1 9089A9C70B8A7A2656E85A2352AB0128 e4aafbb74a2d230dfb67cf265aaf3f213886b4610846ab055695857b6b778c58 a7df12f7-c97e-11ee-a96a-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=180753 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09669582.2022.2131796 0 4df5d4a7-9268-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=165748 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
