Abstract:
In most cases, society and particular organizations need leaders who will set moral standards for their members and work to eliminate the corresponding environmental problems. In business, the environmental issues have been rising, recent decades have seen a growing consensus among theorists that ethics is crucial in shaping good character among individuals to ensure the success of societies and their members. The purpose of this research is to examine how ethical leadership contributes to psychological ownership, psychological empowerment and organizational commitment to environmental performances among hotel employees in China. Focusing on China, this article examines the mediating function of psychological ownership and psychological empowerment in the link between ethical leadership and organizational commitment to environmental performances. We used quantitative approach and applied PLS-SEM which is the appropriate tool to test theory and path analysis. The researcher decided to distribute 2,000 questionnaires among hotel employees in China and 860 responses with complete data and outliers were considered valid for testing the hypotheses. The study found positive relationships among proposed hypotheses and provided significant theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, the findings of this study would contribute to the Social learning theory and its future implications.
