The current study aims to study the effect of institutional support on promoting pro-environmental behaviors of employees in premium hotels in Baghdad Governorate within the framework of Islamic work ethics as a moderating factor.
The study sample consisted of (162) employees of premium hotels in Baghdad (Rashid Hotel, Baghdad Hotel) who hold a diploma or higher for their awareness and ability to answer the questionnaire paragraphs and their direct connection to the objectives and problem of the study, and to answer the study question and achieve its goals and test the study hypotheses, statistical analysis was conducted: arithmetic mean, standard deviation, coefficient of determination, structural equation modelling, and path analysis method, using statistical programs (AMOS.23) and (SPSS v.26).
The results showed that the relationship between the impact of institutional support and pro-environmental behaviours of employees in the studied hotels was low and statistically significant, which requires enhancing moderating factors for the relationship. The test results of the relationship between the impact of Islamic work ethics on the environmentally friendly behaviours of employees were somewhat high and statistically significant. The results also indicate that Islamic work ethics (as a moderating factor) contributed to improving the strength of the relationship between the impact of institutional support on the environmentally friendly behaviours of employees in tourist hotels in Baghdad Governorate, which supports the directions of the management of the studied hotels to enhance the relationship between environmentally conscious organizational practices and the actions of employees who support the environment within the framework of Islamic teachings. The study recommended the importance of educating employees about the importance of preserving the environment as an Islamic duty, setting clear environmental policies, and providing regular training programs for employees on the importance of environmental practices and how to implement them, in addition to providing sufficient support to encourage employees to engage in environmentally friendly behaviours.
