Abstract

This study seeks to explore the impact of green inclusive leadership on employees' pro-environmental behavior. It also examines how green psychological climate and job autonomy act as moderators. To assess the proposed model, data were collected from 452 full-time employees working in five-star hotels in Egypt, specifically within the Greater Cairo region. Data analysis was performed using WarpPLS 7.0 statistical software, utilizing PLS-SEM for the evaluation. Findings revealed that green inclusive leadership positively influences pro-environmental behavior. Additionally, the relationship between green inclusive leadership and pro-environmental behavior is strengthened by both a supportive green psychological climate and higher job autonomy. This study contributes to both theory and practice by expanding the understanding of green leadership through the introduction of green inclusive leadership and its impact on pro-environmental behavior in the hospitality industry. It also offers practical guidance for leaders and managers in these sectors, helping them foster organizational cultures that support sustainability, while providing insights for policy development to align sustainability goals with organizational missions and enhance corporate social responsibility initiatives.
