Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of inclusive leadership on team climate. Drawing on the social exchange theory, this study propose a theoretical model in which (a) inclusive leadership enhances team climate, (b) the moderating effect of team power distance and trust in leadership in the relationship between inclusive leadership and team climate. Based on a survey of 247 employees nested in 59 teams from multiple manufacturing firms in Nigeria, this study found that inclusive leadership has a positive and direct effect on team climate. Also, this study found that (1) team power distance positively influences the relationship between inclusive leadership and team climate; (2) trust in leader positively influences the relationship between inclusive leadership and team climate. The study concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the findings and provides directions for future research.
