As green management practices (GMPs) matter not only for improving the organizations' tribble line performance (environmental, economic, and social) but also can sustain a competitive advantage. Since the tourism and hospitality industry is subject to environmental expectations from visitors, governments, and the community, it is vital to understand what motivates GMPs to overcome environmental obstacles and satisfy those demands. However, the current literature fails to comprehensively justify how small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) tackle green management difficulties when implementing their plans, even though these SMEs could be a leading contributor to environmental concerns. Although many scholars assert that employees' pro-environmental behaviours are decisive in boosting efforts of green management to improve corporate sustainable performance, only limited studies probed the importance of employees' pro-environmental behaviours in SMEs in developing countries. To fill this research gap, the data was gathered from 304 small- and medium-sized hotels and travel agency middle managers using a self-administered survey approach. The collected data was analysed using the Smart PLS-structural equation modelling technique. The PLS-SEM results demonstrated that GMPs can improve environmental, economic, and social performance and these relationships can be strengthened through the moderating effects of employees' pro-environmental behaviour. The study findings revealed that small- and medium-sized hospitality businesses should focus on creating a culture of environmental stewardship and actively involve employees in green initiatives to enhance sustainable performance. The study is important as it helps to understand the role of employee pro-environmental behaviour in green management and sustainable performance in small- and medium-sized hospitality businesses and can help the industry to adopt more sustainable practices. Several theoretical and practical implications were discussed and opportunities for further research were elaborated.
绿色管理实践（GMPs）不仅对于改善组织的底线绩效（环境、经济和社会）很重要，而且还可以维持竞争优势。由于旅游和酒店业受到游客、政府和社区的环境期望的影响，因此了解是什么促使 GMP 克服环境障碍并满足这些需求至关重要。然而，尽管中小企业（SMEs）可能是环境问题的主要贡献者，但当前的文献未能全面说明中小企业在实施其计划时如何应对绿色管理的困难。尽管许多学者认为员工的环保行为对于推动绿色管理努力改善企业可持续绩效至关重要，但只有有限的研究探讨了发展中国家中小企业员工环保行为的重要性。为了填补这一研究空白，本研究从 304 家中小酒店和旅行社中层管理人员那里收集了数据，采用了自我管理的调查方法。使用 Smart PLS 结构方程建模技术对收集到的数据进行了分析。PLS-SEM 的结果表明，GMPs 可以提高环境、经济和社会绩效，并且这些关系可以通过员工环保行为的调节作用得到加强。研究结果表明，中小酒店企业应注重培养环境管理文化，并积极让员工参与绿色倡议，以提高可持续绩效。本研究很重要，因为它有助于理解员工环保行为在中小酒店企业的绿色管理和可持续绩效中的作用，并可以帮助该行业采用更可持续的实践。讨论了一些理论和实际的影响，并阐述了进一步研究的机会。
