| Abstract | ||
| This research explores how charismatic leadership (CL) through employee’s environmental commitment (EEC) influences organizational citizenship behavior for the environment (OCBE) in the tourism and hospitality sector. The study analyzed data gathered from 351 employees working in hotels and tourism companies. Structural Equation Modeling by Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was the primary analytical tool. The findings indicate that CL positively impacts both OCBE and EEC, and that EEC serves as a mediator between CL and OCBE. This implies that charismatic leaders can effectively promote environmental citizenship behavior among employees, especially when employees are committed to environmental goals. The study highlights the importance of these insights for advancing both research and practical applications in the tourism and hospitality industries, underlining the potential of CL to foster sustainable practices through enhanced employee’s commitment | ||
