Inline with the rapid increase in people's environmental awareness, how to create an environmentally cost-saving culture in business organizations has become an emerging question that has been intensively gaining a considerable research domain in the business and management literature and engaging the attention of practitioners in the field. A new strand of the interest has focused on what encourage employees to behave green in the hotel industry in which customers, employees, and hoteliers seem to be not caring about pro-environmental practices. Starting from this unpleasant consistency in the preferences of customers, employees, and hoteliers, this study purposes to explore whether employees within cost-sharing payment plans tend to behave eco-friendlier. The data were collected from 114 seasonal tourism employees working in 21 small- and medium-sized hotels located in Antalya, the largest city on the Mediterranean coast in Turkey. Results from mean-score comparisons reveal some signs indicating that, in business organizations like hotels, employee payment plans reflecting the costs and profits can motivate employees to embrace simple but efficient going-green practices. Consequently, it can be inferred that costsaving pro-environmental practices can benefit both environment and organizations. This suggestion provides new insights for scholars, managers/owners, and policy-makers about what can be done for enhancing the sustainability, responsibility and green attributions of business and management operations.
