From stress to success: Role of green atmospherics on employee well-being in the Indian hotel and tourism industry

Abstract

The research aims to unearth the influence of major factors of Indoor(Green Spaces and Green Ambient Atmospherics) and Outdoor Green Atmospherics on employee well-being in Indian 5-star hotels. Responses were obtained from 328 employees in the Indian tourism sector using a non-probabilistic purposive sampling method. A partial least-square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied for the analysis. The findings revealed that green indoor and outdoor atmospherics have a significant positive contribution toward the well-being and enhanced work environment among the workforce with work stress being a significantly negative mediator. The findings contribute to the existing studies as it empirically verify the hypothesized relationships.
