The effect of inclusive leadership on team performance：Based on the mediating effect of self-efficacy

Abstract

Abstract: Leadership has a significant effect on the team performance. This study defines a relational leadership-inclusive leadership, investigates its effect on team performance, and analyzes the mediating effect of self-efficacy between inclusive leadership and team performance. By means of questionnaire surveys and statistical analysis, we conclude that inclusive leadership is composed of three dimensions-being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees, recognizing and training the employees as well as fair treatment of team members. The inclusive leadership has significant positive correlation with team performance. Recognizing and training the employees as well as fair treatment of team members have significant positive impacts on task performance. All the three dimensions of inclusive leadership have significant positive impacts on contextual performance. Being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees as well as fair treatment of team members affects the self-efficacy significantly, which then obviously affects the task performance and contextual performance of the team. The self-efficacy plays part mediating role between fair treatment of team members and task performance of the team, and full mediating role between being inclusive with the opinions and failures of employees and the contextual performance of the team.

Key words: inclusive leadership, team performance, self-efficacy, mediating effect
