Abstract

This study examined the effect of green innovations (GI) on the environmental performance (EP) of the hotel industry (HI) in Ghana, focusing on the moderating role of green transformational leadership (GTFL). Data from 500 hotel staff were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling to analyze the data. The outcome showed that green innovation and transformational leadership positively and significantly influence the environmental performance of the hotel industry in Ghana. Furthermore, the finding indicated that green transformational leadership significantly moderated green innovation on the hotel industry's environmental performance, highlighting leadership's crucial role in promoting sustainability. This study explores the relatively unexplored interaction between green transformational leadership and green innovations within the context of the Ghanaian hotel industry. The unique combination of these factors adds a novel dimension to the existing literature on environmental performance in Ghana's hotel sector.
