Abstract

Purpose - This study aimed to examine the effect of inclusive leadership (IL) on job embeddedness (JE) by developing a moderated mediation model. The model focuses on the mediating role of the organizational identification (OID) that underpins the relationship between IL and JE, as well as the moderating influence of person–supervisor fit (P–S fit) on the mediation. Design/methodology/approach - Data were collected from 364 employees working in 25 five-star hotels in Hurghada, Egypt. Statistical methods such as hierarchical regression, correlation analysis and a bootstrapping test were used to analyze the data. Findings - The results indicated that OID fully mediated the positive relationship between IL and JE. It also found that P–S fit moderated the mediated relationship between IL and JE via OID. This resulted in the mediated relationship becoming stronger for employees who perceive higher P–S fit rather than who perceive lower P–S fit with their leaders. Originality/value - This study is the first to consider the effect of OID (a mediator) on the relationship between IL and JE. It also extends our understanding of the mechanism linking IL and JE by testing the mediating influence of OID and the moderating influence of P–S fit.
