Configurations of Green HRM, Mindfulness, and Knowledge Sharing Subsets: A fsQCA Study of Innovative Climates in Luxury Hotels

This book explores how sustainability-oriented human resource practices, knowledge sharing, and mindfulness combine to foster innovation within the luxury hotel industry. Using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), it reveals the diverse pathways that enable hotels to build creative, resilient, and environmentally responsible workplaces. Focusing on Vietnam’s fast-growing luxury hospitality sector, the study moves beyond traditional linear models to uncover how specific subsets—such as Green Training, Green Performance Management, Tacit and Explicit Knowledge Sharing, and mindfulness components like Observation and Non-Reactivity—interact to create innovative climates. Through data from 300 hotel professionals, the analysis identifies four distinct configurations that drive high innovation outcomes, offering both theoretical and practical insights. The findings highlight that there is no single formula for innovation. Instead, multiple combinations of green HRM, knowledge dynamics, and mindfulness can achieve success depending on organizational context and resource availability. By mapping these alternative routes, the book provides hotel managers, sustainability practitioners, and researchers with actionable strategies for integrating environmental responsibility, employee engagement, and creativity. Blending theory and evidence, A fsQCA Study of Innovative Climates in Luxury Hotels advances the understanding of how human capital and sustainability interact to shape organizational innovation. It is an essential reference for scholars and professionals in hospitality management, human resources, organizational behavior, and sustainable business.
