Mental Health Perceptions, Sustainable Behavior, Green Attitude, Well-Being and Pro-environmental Decision among Customers and Employees in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry

Dear Colleagues,

Green behavior among customers and employees is increasingly becoming an important issue in the hospitality and tourism industry across the globe. The hospitality and tourism industry often overuses natural resources, including water and energy, causing diverse environmental deterioration (air, water, and soil pollution). This sector is undoutedly regarded as the industry that generates some of the most serious environmental impacts. Given this situation, green management and the elicitation of customer/employee sustainable behaivors are of the utmost importance in every hosptality and toruism company. Green design, management, and technology can contribute to increasing mental health, well-being, pro-environmental beahviors, and life quality among customers and employees. Diverse hospitality and tourism sectors (e.g., hotels, restaurants, airlines, and cruises) are thus active in greening the companies. Yet, research dealing with the topic of greening and its influence on human resonses/behvaiors and companies is not sufficient enough. Studies addressing this issue are invited for this Speical Issue.  

The scope of this Special Issue comprises various sustainable consumption, green management, green products, pro-environmental behaviors, mental health, and well-being in diverse tourism and hospitality sectors. The guest editor encourages a range of quantitative and qualitative approaches, including, but not limited to, surveys, experimental designs, case studies, content analysis, multiple methods, and meta-analyses.
