Abstract

Our study examined the association of inclusive leadership and affective organizational commitment of the employees with the mediating role of psychological empowerment. To test the hypothesized model, a sample of faculty members from different public sector universities of Azad Jammu and Kashmir was selected. Primary data were collected through survey questionnaire. The collected responses were analyzed through structural equation modelling by using AMOS version 24. The results of the study supported hypothesized relationships, which were based on social exchange theory. Based on research findings, it is concluded that affective organizational commitment is significantly impacted by inclusive leadership in the presence of psychological empowerment. The organizations should, therefore, prioritize fostering inclusive leadership practices as they significantly enhance employees’ affective organizational commitment, particularly in the presence of psychological empowerment.
