As the duties and behaviour of organizations within the tourism industry evolve to accommodate expectations of pro-sustainable business change, so too does the role and responsibility of employees within these organisations. As key actors in facilitating pro-sustainable behaviour change, it becomes increasingly important to explore employee understanding and engagement in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities. Carrying the main burden of responsibility for implementing responsible corporate behaviour within the industry, the success of CSR initiatives is largely dependent on employee support and willingness to collaborate (Collier and Esteban, 2007). Furthermore, in addition to directly impacting the sustainability implementation process, employee engagement in CSR practices is linked to improved employee performance (Larson et al., 2008); commitment (Rupp et al., 2006; Brammer et al., 2007); and employee-company identification and fit (Berger et al., 2006; Collier and Esteban, 2007; Rodrigo and Arenas, 2008). Thus, employee engagement and CSR hold the potential to not only influence the outcome of an organisation’s sustainability agenda but also to positively impact the financial bottom line.
