Inclusive Leadership, Non-Profit OrganizationsAbstract
This article aims to provide in-depth insights that non-profit leaders can use in creating effective inclusive leadership strategies. This study is also expected to be able to expand the understanding of how inclusive leadership can be applied practically in the midst of existing limitations, so that non-profit organizations can be more empowered in carrying out their missions. This article is compiled through a review of various relevant articles about non-profit organizations and inclusive leadership. This research uses a qualitative approach, aiming to collect, analyze, and synthesize literature related to the topic. This research emphasizes the importance of inclusive leadership in creating a more proactive and productive work environment, especially in the non-profit sector. Inclusive leadership plays a role in strengthening the relationship between leaders and employees through mechanisms such as relational psychological contracts, which support increased engagement and organizational performance. The main contribution of this research is to identify that for long-term success, it is important to integrate inclusive values with existing organizational cultures, as well as encourage more open dialogue between stakeholders. The study also provides insight that while organizational culture challenges can arise, factors such as employer support, work autonomy, and supportive organizational culture have a profound impact on employee motivation and retention
