Hospitality And Tourism Industry

This study aims to investigate the direct impact of green motives (GM) and green business strategies (GBS) on sustainable development (SD) in the hospitality sector. It explores the direct links between GM and SD. Moreover, the mediating role of GBS between GM and SD was tested. The research relies on the stakeholders’ theory, which states that the organization’s success and future development depends on the satisfaction of stakeholders. Data were collected from 451 top managers and owners from 54 hotels (5, 4 and 3-star hotels) operating in Pakistan. Quantitative analysis including correlation, regression, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation model techniques were used. The mediating role of GBS was assessed using the bootstrapping method. Results proved that GM and GBS enable hotel industry to achieve the targets of SD. Finding also proved that GBS act as a mediator between the GM and SD link. The hotel industry needs attention to achieve the targets of SD and customers’ inclination towards more hygienic and environmental issues after the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic situation has forced the hotel industry to adapt GBS initiated through GM. The current research articulated this upcoming issue and offered a SD model for the hotel industry.

Productive Ageing

This study has two purposes. One is to identify generation differences in importance perception of productive ageing. Second is to find relationship between productive ageing and successful ageing. First, we developed 20 items to measure productive activities based on Caro, Bass, & Chen (1993)'s definition. Our items were divided into 4 factors; to do activities for life goals, to do activities for self career development, to do activities for family assistance, and to do volunteering activities. In our research, we found generation differences in importance perception of productive activities for successful ageing. In comparison with the elderly, younger people considered it more important to do activities for life goals, career development, and volunteering in their old age. Productive ageing scale of 20 items newly developed for this study was divided into 4 factors in our confirmatory factor analysis, and the reliability of 4 sub-scales was good. The importance perception of productive ageing was significantly related with subjective wellbeing and life meaning. Even after controlling personality such as extroversions, conscientiousness, and openness, it explained significantly subjective wellbeing and life meaning. Lastly, working elderly and non-working elderly were different in meaning perception about productive ageing. Working elderly considered it important to do activities for life goals.

This paper reports on a 3 year-long PhD level research study carried out by the author in the development of Environmentally Responsible Business Strategies (ERBS). Although ERBS has taken a long time to develop, it is maturing into an approach used by many organizations in practice. This paper reports on the major elements that form part of ERBS: the business architecture, Green policies, processes that create waste and emissions, enablement of efficient use of resources, metrics for monitoring the greening of the organization, and implementation of environmental strategies. The ERBS is made up of five phases: 1) Green Business architecture, 2) Green Process mapping, 3) Creation of organization specific ERBS, 4) Implement reengineered processes and employ ERBS, and 5) Improve continuously to monetize emissions. This paper further provides a review of environmental challenges and understanding of the contribution of computing to the environmental strategies of a business and its sustainable management.

Abundant research supports the view that for dual-career couples, women do a significantly higher proportion of housework than men and men place far more importance on their own careers than those of their partners. This paper identifies these two areas as prime sources of conflict and examines why, even for egalitarian couples, such conflict arises. The article also explores the notions of achieving balance between work and personal life, and of maintaining socially sustainable relationships. Changes that may be needed in career direction in order to achieve these two goals are suggested. Implications for careers practitioners are provided that may be of benefit for enhancing career development programs. These include changing the way that the problematic concept of career is viewed, and the benefits that men may derive in becoming equally responsible for household chores.

Assessment Results

Rumination is a vulnerability factor for the onset and maintenance of emotional distress. This study examined whether writing about life goals is associated with a decrease in ruminative thinking and a reduced cortisol awakening response. 68 healthy participants either wrote about their personal life goals or a control topic. Writing about life goals was associated with a modest decrease in ruminative thinking and a reduced cortisol awakening response at the post-intervention assessment. Results provide initial evidence that writing about life goals can be a helpful aid in decreasing rumination and physiological stress reactivity.

Main Component

Due to rapid industrial developments and the effects of the economic revolution such as high production rates and non-ecofriendly supply systems, environmental pollution has been observed in recent years and environmental issues are increasingly becoming a concern on the planet. For this reason, there is little doubt that business organizations have been forced more and more to implement green business strategies for stakeholders, facing the necessity to improve their employees’ environmental performance. Using 461 US employees in the environmental related industries, we found empirical evidence between employees’ green performance, organizational culture and adaptability capability. Finally, the present study suggests two main corporate elements for green policy makers in eco-friendly organizations that the alignment of firm environmental strategy with strategic human resources (HR) should include (1) an organizational culture that supports employee green practices and (2) employee adaptability competency that enables workers to respond to the evolving environmental challenges as main component of analysis.

As a tropical country, Indonesia has enormous potential for the development of an industry with raw materials from coconut. One of the products that can be developed from coconut is coconut oil. The purpose of this research is to create a strategy and green business model in the medium coconut oil industry (klentik) by utilizing the waste it produces into a variety of prospective products with added value. Various prospective and value added products can be developed from coir, shell, coconut water, dregs, and blondo which are byproducts or waste from the coconut oil production process. The implementation of green business strategies and models has an impact on the sustainability of the medium-sized coconut oil industry, both in terms of profitability, social and environmental aspects.
