Impact of Inclusive Leadership on Employees' Green Voice Behavior in the Hospitality Industry: The Mediating Role of Organizational Learning Culture

The purpose of the study is to examine how inclusive leadership (IL) affects employees' green voice behavior (EGVB) in the hospitality sector, with an emphasis on the mediating function of organizational learning culture (OLC) in Bangladesh's travel and tourist business. Based on Social Learning Theory and Social Exchange Theory, the study creates and evaluates a model that connects learning culture, employees’ green voice behavior, and leadership behaviors. Convenience sampling was used to collect data from hotel staff in popular tourist locations including Dhaka and Chittagong, and 278 valid replies were obtained. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to examine the data. Results show that IL promotes corporate learning culture and significantly improves workers' green voice behavior. All four hypotheses were supported. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on leadership and sustainability in the hospitality sector, while offering practical insights for managers to cultivate IL and strengthen learning-oriented cultures to promote environmentally responsible employee engagement.
