Abstract:
To encourage environmentally friendly behaviors, organizations are increasingly implementing green behavior management and policies. And hotel employees also play a significant role in further enhancing and encouraging eco-friendly behaviors and practices to be implemented within the workplace. This study was a quantitative research design that aimed to determine the level of green behavior awareness among hotel employees as the basis for environmental sustainability implementation. The study has shown that hotel employees have a high level of green behavior awareness, which was determined using the five green taxonomies: working sustainably, avoiding harm, conserving, influencing others, and taking initiative. Thus, the study revealed that the level of awareness of employees' green behavior is statistically not different when grouped according to their demographic profile: age, sex, educational attainment, job title, and years of service. Based on the result of the study, the researchers recommend that the hotel sector understand effective methods to enhance green environmental behavior that are applicable to all employees regardless of their age, sex, educational attainment, job title, and years of service, and to utilize an action plan with regards to motivating employees to perform day-to-day business operations in eco-friendly ways without compromising quality and efficiency of the environment or resources of the hotel accommodations.
