Abstract

Abstract
Environmental issues have become a major concern not only for academics but also for governments and organisations over the past few decades. This study examined the relationship between green leadership, green psychological climate, and green employee behaviour in the context of the Egyptian hotel industry. The study analysed data from a sample of 400 responses using Smart PLS. The results demonstrated that green leadership had a significant positive effect on fostering a green psychological climate but did not directly affect employees' green conduct. Creating a green psychological climate also had a considerable positive effect on employees' green behaviour and mediated the relationship between green leadership and employees' green behaviour. The findings of this study emphasise the significance of fostering a green psychological climate and the interaction between green leadership and a green psychological climate in promoting green behaviour among employees. The study's practical implications are that organisations should focus on creating a culture of environmental responsibility, providing employees with opportunities to participate in sustainability initiatives and promoting green behaviour through incentives and recognition programs rather than relying solely on green leadership. The theoretical implications of the study are that organisations should consider the broader organisational context, including the role of a green psychological climate when promoting environmental responsibility among employees.
