The hotel sector, around the globe, has a bad reputation due to its oversized carbon footprint. Therefore, this sector requires different approaches to improve its environmental management efforts. In this regard, the importance of employees' pro-environmental behavior (PEB) has been recently discussed to reduce an enterprise's carbon footprint. Reflecting this, the current work aims to improve PEB of employees as an outcome of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and altruistic values (ALV) in the hotel enterprises of an emerging economy. A total of 489 valid responses was collected from hotel employees, which were then analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). Different hypotheses were validated by employing SEM, and the results confirmed that CSR, directly and indirectly, via ALV as a mediator, improves PEB. The current work offers insights into the hotel industry for improving its environmental footprint through CSR and ALV. Moreover, academically, the current work advances the literature on CSR and environmental management from the perspective of hotel enterprises and by highlighting the role of individual values, especially ALV.
由于碳足迹过大，全球酒店业的声誉一直不佳。因此，该行业需要采取不同的方法来加强环境管理。在这方面，最近人们讨论了员工的环保行为（PEB）的重要性，以减少企业的碳足迹。有鉴于此，本研究旨在提高新兴经济体酒店企业员工的 PEB，这是企业社会责任（CSR）和利他价值观（ALV）的结果。共收集了 489 份来自酒店员工的有效回复，并通过结构方程模型（SEM）进行了分析。通过 SEM 验证了不同的假设，结果证实 CSR 通过 ALV 作为中介，直接和间接地提高了 PEB。本研究为酒店业通过 CSR 和 ALV 改善其环境足迹提供了参考。此外，从酒店企业的角度出发，本研究还从个体价值观（尤其是利他价值观）的角度出发，推进了 CSR 和环境管理方面的文献。
