| dc.description.abstract | This study is primarily an investigation of hotel performance from the perspective of environmental management practices (EMP). The basic aim of this research is to determine Malaysian hotels' adoption of environmental management practices and its impact on performance. In addition, the role of perceived benefits as a moderator of the said relationship is investigated. An attempt is also made to identify new antecedents that drive hotels to increase their extent of environmental management practices. The population of this study consists of four and five star hotels with questionnaires being the main source of data collation. A survey research design was developed and data was collected from 158 among 4 and 5 stars hotels across Malaysia. The findings of this study were based on interpretation from statistical analyses, namely multiple and hierarchical regression analyses. A positive influence between the extent of environmental management practices and hotel performance was evident from the findings. In terms of moderating influence, it was found that the relationship between EMP and hotel performance is contingent upon the perceived benefits of management practice. It was noted that the impact of EMP on hotel performance will be greater if hotels perceived that the outcome of adopting a set of environmental practices will bring about significant benefits. Out of the five independent variables, only employee recognition did not exhibit any influence on practices of environmental management. The rest, which are hotels' environmental values, top management support, regulations and competitive legitimacy, were found to influence EMP. Specifically, top management support had the greatest impact on the adoption of EMP. One of the managerial implications is for hotels to realize that the degree of the impact of EMP on hotel performance is dependent on the role of top management in championing environmental causes. | en_US |
