Abstract

Green training and development (T&D) has emerged as an important topic within HRM, with research focusing on its impact on various employee outcomes. However, only a few studies have focused on understanding its impacts on green organizational outcomes, such as green creativity. We utilize social information processing theory to theorize whether, when, and how green T&D impacts green creativity. This study collected lagged and multisource field data (246 supervisor-employee dyads) from various hospitality organizations. Our findings based on time-lagged data and analyzed using Smart PLS reveal that green T&D enhances individual green values, which, in turn, enhance green creativity. We found that responsible leadership amplifies the positive relationship between green T&D and individual green values. We also found support for the moderating effect of responsible leadership on the indirect model via individual green values. The study underscores the importance of integrating green training and development programs in hospitality organizations to enhance individual green values and creativity. Practical implications include promoting responsible leadership, aligning organizational values with environmental goals, and fostering a culture that supports green initiatives and creativity.
