Abstract
Inclusive leadership (IL) has emerged as a vital area of research; however, its significance remains to be explored. This study investigated the impact of IL on employee work engagement (EWE) and affective organizational commitment (AOC) and examined the mediating role of AOC in the IL-EWE relationship. Utilized a survey-based quantitative research approach with 282 Cambodian public employees and employed structural equation modeling for analysis, the findings reveal a significant positive relationship between IL and EWE, with AOC acting as a partial complementary mediator. These results emphasize the importance of fostering IL to enhance EWE and AOC, contributing to improved organizational outcomes. This study offers valuable insights for organizations and leaders seeking to cultivate an inclusive work environment that nurtures employee engagement and commitment, ultimately leading to heightened organizational performance.
