Abstract

Purpose

Responding to the need for exploration of psychological predictors influencing innovation, this study aims to examine the impact of psychological ownership (PO) in employee innovation behavior (EIB) with a focus on psychological empowerment (PE) and employee resilience (ER) as mediators.

Design/methodology/approach

Data was collected from full-time employees working in travel agencies and five-star hotels in Egypt. A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling analysis was performed on 409 valid responses.

Findings

The findings of this study revealed PO has a positive effect on EIB. Such relationship is partially mediated by PE and ER.

Originality/value

Theoretically, this study offers valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms that elucidate how PO influences employees' innovation behavior and resilience, while aligning with the principles of self-determination theory.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore how job performance (EJP) is affected by employees’ perception of organizational politics (POP). It also investigates the mediating roles of workplace stress (WS) and counterproductive work behavior (CWB).

Design/methodology/approach

Data was gathered from employees working in category (A) travel agencies and five-star hotels in Egypt. A partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis was conducted using 468 valid responses.

Findings

The findings indicate that there is a negative correlation between POP and EJP. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between POP and CWB as well as WS. The results also demonstrate a negative correlation between WS and CWB with EJP. Moreover, the findings suggest that CWB and WS act as partial mediators in the relationship between POP and EJP.

Originality/value

The research included some ground-breaking investigations. Currently, research on the effects of POP on CWB, WS and EJP is insufficient. As well, the current study attempts to measure the mediating role of CWB and WS in the link between POP and EJP. The current study has filled a gap in the tourism and hospitality literature, human resources management literature and organizational behavior literature by empirically analyzing these links in the context of Egyptian hotels and travel agencies.

目的

本研究旨在探讨员工对组织政治(POP)的看法如何影响工作绩效(EJP)。它还调查了工作场所压力(WS)和适得其反的工作行为(CWB)的中介作用。

设计/方法论/途径

调查收集了埃及 (A) 类旅行社和五星级酒店员工的反馈。对 468 个有效回复进行了 PLS-SEM 分析。

发现

结果显示, POP与员工工作绩效呈负相关, 此外, POP与反生产力工作行为和工作场所压力呈正相关。研究结果还表明, 工作场所压力和适得其反的工作行为与员工的工作绩效之间存在负相关关系。此外, 研究结果表明 CWB 和 WS 调节 POP 和 EJP 之间的关系。

原创性/价值

该研究包括一些开创性的调查。目前, POP对CWB、WS、EJP影响的研究还不够。从上下文相关性的角度来看, 无法对酒店和旅行社中这些变量之间的联系进行实证分析。当前的研究通过在埃及酒店和旅行社的背景下对这些联系进行实证分析, 填补了旅游和酒店文献、人力资源管理文献和组织行为文献的空白。

Objetivo

Este estudio pretende explorar cómo el desempeño laboral (EJP) se ve afectado por la percepción que tienen los empleados de la política organizativa (POP). También investiga los papeles mediadores del estrés laboral (WS) y el comportamiento laboral contraproducente (CWB).

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Se recopilaron datos de empleados que trabajaban en agencias de viajes de categoría (A) y hoteles de cinco estrellas en Egipto. Se realizó un análisis de Modelización de Ecuaciones Estructurales por Mínimos Cuadrados Parciales (PLS-SEM) utilizando 468 respuestas válidas.

Resultados

Los resultados indican que existe una correlación negativa entre POP y EJP. Además, existe una correlación positiva entre POP y CWB, así como WS. Los resultados también demuestran una correlación negativa entre WS y CWB con EJP. Además, los resultados sugieren que CWB y WS actúan como mediadores parciales en la relación entre POP y EJP.

Originalidad/valor

La investigación incluye algunas investigaciones pioneras. En la actualidad, la investigación sobre los efectos de la POP en la CWB, la WS y la EJP es insuficiente. Además, el presente estudio intenta medir el papel mediador de la CWB y la WS en el vínculo entre la POP y la EJP. El presente estudio ha llenado un vacío en la literatura sobre turismo y hotelería, en la literatura sobre gestión de recursos humanos y en la literatura sobre comportamiento organizativo al analizar empíricamente estos vínculos en el contexto de los hoteles y agencias de viajes egipcios.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to investigate the impact of leader STARA competence (LSC) – managing and implementing smart technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics and algorithms– on green competitiveness (GC) in the tourism and hospitality sectors. It also investigated the role of employee green creativity (EGC) as a mediator between LSC and GC and the mediating role of green human capital (GHC) in the relationship between EGC and GC.

Design/methodology/approach

The study utilized PLS-SEM to analyze 320 responses obtained from middle-level management at five-star hotels and travel agencies in Egypt, using WarpPLS statistical software 7.0.

Findings

Leader STARA competence positively affects employee green creativity and green competitiveness. Employee green creativity positively affects green competitiveness and green human capital. Green human capital positively affects green competitiveness. In addition, the study demonstrated significant mediation roles of green human capital in the employee green creativity and green competitiveness relationship and employee green creativity in the leader STARA competence and green competitiveness relationship.

Practical implications

The study offers several practical implications for tourism and hospitality enterprises. It underscores the significance of leader STARA’s competence in advancing green competitiveness.

Originality/value

The study provides new insights into how emerging concepts like leader STARA competence, green human capital and employee green creativity simultaneously predict green competitiveness within tourism and hospitality enterprises. It also contributes significantly to enriching the social exchange theory.
