Despite extensive literature on green hotel management and sustainability, scant attention has been given on the role of managers to solve environmental related issues. This study's aim is to assess the effects of managers' green knowledge and green transformational leadership on firms' environmental performance with the mediating effect of green creativity. The study analyzes the perceptions of 363 employees in different managerial positions of the hotel industry employing Partial Last Square Structural Equation Modeling. The findings of the study show a positive effect of green knowledge and green transformational leadership on green creativity and green transformational leadership on environmental performance. Furthermore, green creativity is also found to have significant mediating effect between green knowledge and environmental performance, and green transformational leadership and environmental performance relations. The main implication of the current research is that managers' green concerns might help the stakeholders in the hotel industry to respond through appropriate green initiatives for their organizations. Further suggestions for literature and practice are discussed.

调查管理者的绿色知识和领导风格与其公司环境绩效之间的联系：绿色创造力的中介作用

尽管有大量关于绿色酒店管理和可持续性的文献，但很少关注管理人员在解决环境相关问题方面的作用。本研究的目的是通过绿色创造力的中介作用评估管理者的绿色知识和绿色变革型领导对企业环境绩效的影响。该研究使用偏末平方结构方程模型分析了 363 名酒店业不同管理职位的员工的看法。研究结果显示绿色知识和绿色变革型领导对绿色创造力和绿色变革型领导对环境绩效的积极影响。此外，还发现绿色创造力在绿色知识与环境绩效、绿色变革型领导与环境绩效关系之间具有显着的中介作用。当前研究的主要含义是管理者的绿色关注可能有助于酒店业的利益相关者通过为其组织采取适当的绿色举措做出回应。对文献和实践的进一步建议进行了讨论。
