Abstract

En 中文
The research aims to elucidate the impact of corporate sustainable policies on the reduction of carbon footprint within the business travel sector, with a focus on the mediating role of employee consciousness and the moderating influence of travel technology adoption. A survey-based, time-lagged study was conducted, drawing on responses from employees across various industries engaged in corporate travel. Findings suggest that corporate sustainable policies significantly contribute to the reduction of carbon footprint when employees exhibit high levels of environmental consciousness. Furthermore, the adoption of travel technologies was found to enhance this relationship, albeit differentially across various levels of technology integration. The study's implications emphasize the importance of fostering employee environmental consciousness and investing in travel technology for businesses aiming to realize their sustainability objectives. These insights have practical ramifications for corporate policy formulation, suggesting a strategic alignment of human resource initiatives with sustainability goals to amplify environmental performance.
