Abstract

Background: Inclusive leadership is a crucial aspect in the hospitality sector, where nurse leaders enable nurses to realize their own potential and achieve good performance, making their workplace more supportive of sustainable views and green work behaviors. Aim of the Study: To assess the relation between inclusive leadership and nurses‘ green work behaviors. Subjects and Method: Design: Descriptive-correlational research design was applied. Setting: The study was conducted at Tanta University International Teaching Hospital in all departments. Subjects: A stratified random sample was taken from nurses (n= 301), who are working in the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Two tools for data collection were used, involving the questionnaire of inclusive leadership and initial nurses‘ green work behaviors. Results: Less than two-thirds of nurses had a moderate perception level of inclusive leadership, whereas more than one-third of them had a moderate perception level regarding green work behaviors. Conclusion: There was a highly statistical positive correlation between inclusive leadership and nurses‘ green work behaviors. Recommendation: Develop training programs, conferences, and seminars for nurse leaders on the importance of inclusive leadership to help organizations reach sustainability goals and create a healthy work environment. Develop tailored strategies for nurses and their leadership to implement strengths-based feedback methodologies that promote organizational sustainability and green nurse behaviors
