Purpose

This study aims to examine the mediated effect of ethical leadership between trust based on commitment and compliance-based practices and green behavior intention in tourism sector organizations.

Design/methodology/approach

The existing research in sustainability lacks the effects of leadership types on green management practices. This study uses a quantitative method through survey to determine this effect. Data collection is undertaken on the questionnaire formulated from existing studies. The collected data is analyzed with SmartPLS through measurement and structural model assessment for hypothesis confirmation.

Findings

The findings of the study reveal that ethical leadership does strengthen the relationship between trust and green behavior intention when trust is formed on commitment-based practices in comparison to compliance-based practices.

Research limitations/implications

The study contributes to the attribution theory and its application in sustainability studies by showing that both commitment-based and compliance-based practices help shape the individual trust in an organization which resonates with the assumption that an organization’s seriousness to respond to sustainability issues forms the employee’s trust in the organization. On the practical side, this study provides guidelines for the organizations in tourism industry to demarcate the environmental management activities between compliance and commitment-based practices for better outcomes.

Originality/value

A gap is found in sustainability literature where leadership-type effects are rarely explored in green behavior intention formation. To determine the impact of ethical leadership on the relationship between green management practices and green intention behavior, attribution theory is used as a basis combining social responsibility and tourism organizations. The relationship between green management practices and ethical leadership is a novelty by evaluating the compliance-based and commitment-based practices individually to determine their effect on green behavior intention.

绿色管理实践和对绿色行为意图的信任以及道德领导力的调解。旅游归因理论视角

目的

本研究旨在探讨旅游部门组织中基于承诺和基于合规的实践的信任与绿色行为意图之间道德领导力的中介效应。

设计/方法论/途径

现有的可持续发展研究缺乏领导类型对绿色管理实践的影响。本研究采用定量方法通过调查来确定这种效果。数据收集是根据现有研究制定的调查问卷进行的。使用 SmartPLS 通过测量和结构模型评估对收集的数据进行分析，以确认假设。

发现

研究结果表明，与基于合规的实践相比，当基于承诺的实践形成信任时，道德领导确实会加强信任和绿色行为意图之间的关系。

研究局限性/影响

该研究表明，基于承诺和基于合规的实践都有助于塑造个人对组织的信任，这与组织对可持续发展问题做出反应的严肃性形成了员工的信任这一假设产生了共鸣，为归因理论及其在可持续发展研究中的应用做出了贡献。对组织的信任。在实践方面，本研究为旅游业组织提供了指导方针，以区分合规性和基于承诺的实践之间的环境管理活动，以获得更好的结果。

原创性/价值

可持续发展文献中存在一个空白，即很少探讨绿色行为意图形成中的领导型效应。为了确定道德领导对绿色管理实践和绿色意向行为之间关系的影响，结合社会责任和旅游组织，以归因理论为基础。绿色管理实践与道德领导力之间的关系是一种新颖的方法，通过单独评估基于合规性和基于承诺的实践来确定它们对绿色行为意图的影响。
