Abstract
The increasing focus on environmental issues has resulted in the widespread acceptance and prominence of green
innovation. However, existing literature on hotel management has overlooked exploring the key factors that
drive green innovation specifically through the mediating mechanisms of green dynamic capability (GDC) and
green environmental orientation (GEO). To fill the gap in the existing hospitality literature this study utilized the
natural resource-based view (NRBV) to investigate the correlation between green transformational leadership
(GTL) and green innovation (GI). Two research studies were carried out in Italian luxury hotels to assess the
efficacy of the theoretical framework. The research findings emphasize that the enhancement of a hotel’s GDC
and GEO can be facilitated by providing GTL. This in turn may lead to the enhancement of GI which improves the
CA and GP of a hotel.
