The data was analyzed using Smart-PLS software. The results showed a partially positive mediation of employee performance among both constructs of individualized consideration and intellectual stimulation of green innovation in the hotel sector. Moreover, these results proved the power of the relationship between employee performance and the adoption of green innovation.
