This paper explores the impact of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Employee Performance and Sustainability in the hospitality industry. The paper further explains how integrating Big Data and AI can optimize operations, enhance employee efficiency, and promote sustainable practices. The research uses SmartPLS to analyze the relationships between these variables, with a focus on how Big Data and AI influence Employee Performance, which in turn contributes to Sustainability efforts. The findings, show that both Big Data and AI have significant positive effects on Employee Performance, with Big Data demonstrating a stronger impact. Moreover, Employee Performance mediates the relationship between Big Data, AI, and Sustainability, indicating that improvements in employee performance lead to better sustainability outcomes, such as resource optimization and waste reduction. The study findings align with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), highlighting the potential of technology to drive both economic and environmental sustainability in the hospitality sector This research contributes to understanding how the application of Big Data and AI can help hospitality businesses achieve long-term success through improved operational efficiency and sustainable practices.
