Abstract

This study explores green work engagement in response to the global demand for sustainability in businesses and the shift toward green-oriented agendas. Specifically, this study aims to examine how green work engagement (GWE) is affected by artificial intelligence awareness (AIA) through job stress (JS) as a mediator. It also explores the moderating roles of technological self-efficacy (TSE) in the AIA→JS relationship and trust in leadership (TIL) in the GWE→JS relationship. A PLS-SEM analysis was conducted on 392 valid replies from full-time employees of five-star hotels in Egypt using WarpPLS 7.0. The findings indicated that artificial intelligence awareness (AIA) negatively affects employees’ green work engagement (GWE) and positively affects job stress (JS). In addition, GWE is negatively affected by JS. Moreover, TSE negatively moderates the AIA→JS relationship, while TIL negatively moderates the JS→GWE relationship. The study also found a significant mediating effect of JS on the AIA→GWE relationship. The study enhances research on AIA’s impact on JS and GWE, addressing a gap in existing empirical studies on the relationship between these elements in hotels. Overall, the study of green work engagement has the potential to be a valuable contribution to the growing field of sustainable business practices.
