Abstract

Purpose

This study investigated the predictors of overall value for money in the hospitality industry concerning routine practices reinforcing SDG goals. The sequential mediation underlines the mechanism of theoretical viability and sustainability relevance of restaurant environment factors and customer-generated communication on social media to influence the value impressions of hospitality customers.

Design/methodology/approach

Cross-sectional design was utilized to obtain empirical data from customers of luxury restaurants in mega cities of Pakistan. Non-probability purposive sampling was deployed to collect data from 370 customers. The chained relationship of predictors was analyzed using Smart PLS.

Findings

The SDGs' integration with predictors provided theoretical insights into the role of physical spaces in achieving SDG 14 of sustainable consumption and production. The role of social media communication explains the mechanism of online discourse, which shapes perceptions of sustainable dining experiences.

Practical implications

This study explained sustainable consumption's relation to consumers' psychological undertakings and reinforced the dinners' decision-making processes to evaluate expectations influencing dining choices. This study helps to understand how sustainability issues transformed consumers' value perception and helps them take measures to minimize the environmental impact of their dining choices.

Originality/value

The sequential mediation model investigated with the lens of expectation disconfirmation theory provided relational clarity, which is difficult to achieve when comparing the perception of customers with performance variables. Distinguishing overall value for money from perceived value is essential for making data-driven decisions to utilize monetary resources efficiently.

Abstract

Purpose

There is a growing need to promote and practice sustainable HRM to foster greener organizations with trained employees who have an attitude and behavior to preserve depleting resources. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of sustainable green human resource management (Green HRM) practices along with organizational identification (OI) as a mediating factor and perceived organizational support (POS) as a moderating factor.

Design/methodology/approach

Quantitative methodology was used, and the data were collected from 311 employees working in telecommunication organizations located in the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, Pakistan. Results of the study are based on the structural equation modeling technique using Smart-PLS.

Findings

Findings revealed that OI proved to be a significant positive mediator between Green HRM and organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment. POS also proved to be a significant moderator on the relationship between Green HRM and OI.

Research limitations/implications

The study is limited to the two cities of Pakistan; future studies can focus on more cities so that the results can be more generalized.

Practical implications

This study will especially be useful for HR practitioners to develop mechanisms to initiate and encourage sustainable HR practices.

Social implications

Organizations’ positive position is established through the inculcation of green activities among their employees. Thus, a sense of responsibility and attachment among employees toward green behavior makes them good citizens. It also works well for their organization as well as for the environment. Moreover, it preserves environmental resources and helps ensure sustainability.

Originality/value

The research paper was aimed at exploring the importance of sustainable Green HRM practices in a developing country like Pakistan.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this study is to examine the relationships between taking charge, bootlegging innovation and innovative job performance, and to explore the moderating roles of felt responsibility for constructive change (FRCC) and creative self-efficacy (CSE).

Design/methodology/approach

Data for this research was collected from 503 employees working in a chain company. Through a longitudinal study design, a three-wave survey with 397 valid data provided support for the proposed theoretical model.

Findings

The results maintain a positive association between taking charge, bootlegging innovation and innovative job performance, indicating the mediating effect of bootlegging innovation. Additionally, both the FRCC and CSE facilitate the indirect effect of taking charge on innovative job performance through bootlegging innovation. Furthermore, the integrated moderated mediation model analysis suggested that FRCC is more vital in improving employees' innovative job performance.

Originality/value

This research aims to break the black box between taking charge and innovative job performance, which has been relatively unexplored. Drawing from self-determination theory (SDT) and the proactive motivation model, the authors verify the bridge-building role of bootlegging innovation and the dual-facilitating effects of FRCC and CSE while employees conduct taking charge. This study’s results provide new insight for managers to foster, encourage and support employees' proactive behavior.
