Servant leadership for hospitality sustainability: green psychological capital as a pathway to environmental citizenship behavior by Ahmed Hassan Abdou

“…The study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the relationships between ESSL, GPsyCap, and OCBE.ResultsThe findings indicate that ESSL positively influences both GPsyCap and OCBE, demonstrating that environmentally responsible leadership fosters voluntary pro-environmental behaviors among employees. Furthermore, GPsyCap significantly predicts OCBE and partially mediates the relationship between ESSL and OCBE, suggesting that GPsyCap serves as a crucial psychological mechanism through which leadership practices are translated into employee-driven sustainability efforts.DiscussionBuilding on these empirical insights, the study contributes to theory by extending the Conservation of Resources (COR) Theory, Social Exchange Theory (SET), and the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) Model, integrating green organizational (ESSL) and psychological (GPsyCap) resources within the hospitality sector. …”

Improved equation of state model for the phase behavior of CO2–hydrocarbon coupling nanopore confinements by Yuan Zhang, Zijing Niu, Fangfang Yang, Zhanwei Ma

“…In shale reservoirs, fluids are often confined within nanopores, leading to apparent effects on the properties and phase behavior of the fluid. However, previous studies have primarily focused on the effect of capillary pressure or adsorption on well performance, and only a very limited number of studies have researched the complex and coupled impact of confinement on capillarity, adsorption, and interactions between fluid molecules and pore walls. …”
