This study examines how innovative work behavior (IWB) is affected by job insecurity (JI). The study also explores knowledge-hiding behavior (KHB) and team anti-citizenship behavior (TAB) as mediators. Data were collected from employees working in Egypt’s five-star hotels and category (A) travel agencies. There were 457 valid responses and they were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings demonstrated that there is a negative relationship between job insecurity and employee innovative work behavior. There were positive relationships between job insecurity with knowledge-hiding behavior and team anti-citizenship behavior. The findings also revealed a negative relationship between knowledge-hiding behavior and team anti-citizenship behavior with employee innovative work behavior. In addition, findings revealed that knowledge-hiding behavior mediates the relationship between JI and IWB. Contrary to the hypothesized model of the study, team anti-citizenship behavior did not mediate the relationship between JI and IWB. This research contributes to the studies on JI, KHB, and TAB in terms of IWB, specifically in the hospitality and tourism context. It also includes suggestions for coping with JI, KHB, and TAB in hotel and tourism enterprises, which may promote IWB and the overall workplace environment.

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.
