Abstract

This study investigates how environmental management performance is affected by green dynamic capabilities in the hotel industry context. It also explores the mediating role of environmental organizational culture. Responses were collected from the middle and front-line managers of 60 certified green star hotels in the Red Sea and South Saini districts of Egypt. A total of 350 valid responses were gathered and analyzed by PLS-SEM using WarpPLS 7.0. The study found that there is a positive relationship between green dynamic capabilities, environmental organizational culture, and environmental management performance. Furthermore, environmental organizational culture has a positive correlation with environmental management performance. The study also found that the mediation effect of environmental organizational culture on the relationship between dynamic capabilities and environmental management performance is statistically significant. The study's findings have significant consequences for both theory and practice. This study helps to lessen ambiguity in the existing literature on green dynamic capabilities in relation to hotel environmental management performance. In practice, the research provides hotel enterprises with recommendations for improving the effectiveness of environmental management performance.
