Abstract
This study aims to examine the effect of organisational commitment and
employee’s pro-environmental behaviour at home on their intention to adopt
green practices at the workplace in the context of hotel industry, by taking the
theory of planned behaviour as a conceptual framework. Hotel employees play
a critical role that affects customers' experiences, which then affects the overall
hotel performance. However, the mechanism that affects their behavioural
intention has yet to be investigated properly. Thus, a survey was conducted to
collect the data from employees working in green and non-green hotels in
Malaysia. Overall, there were 407 responses received, which represented a
response rate of 55.75 percent. Then, a set of hypotheses was tested using
the structural equation modelling. The empirical results indicate that
organisational commitments have a positive effect on the attitude for engaging
in a green behaviour and subjective norm, which in turn influenced employees’
intention to adopt green practices at work. Meanwhile, employees’ pro environmental behaviour at home has an indirect impact on employee’s
intention to adopt green practices in the workplace through their attitude for
engaging in a green behaviour, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural
control. The findings lead to a theoretical contribution by incorporating another
theory into the theory of planned behaviour, which is the social bond theory through organisational commitment and spill-over effect through pro environmental behaviour at home. Subsequently, a practical recommendation
from this research is attainable to policy makers and hotel providers in order
for them to understand and increase employees’ willingness to adopt green
practices at the workplace.
