Although inclusion is a promising approach for enhancing workplace outcomes, limited studies have examined how leaders create inclusive workplaces. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether transformational leadership (TFL) fosters a climate for inclusion. Mixed methods were used to triangulate quantitative and qualitative data from participants in an urban hospital. Data revealed that some TFL characteristics were helpful in fostering inclusion, whereas other TFL characteristics were not, thereby only partially supporting TFL as an inclusive leadership approach. New insights are uncovered around more and less inclusive leader behaviors, providing a foundation for future research in building inclusive leadership theory.

使用混合方法揭示包容性领导者行为：改善员工和组织成果的有希望的方法

尽管包容性是提高工作场所成果的一种很有前途的方法，但有限的研究调查了领导者如何创造包容性工作场所。本研究的目的是调查变革型领导 (TFL) 是否营造了包容的氛围。使用混合方法对城市医院参与者的定量和定性数据进行三角测量。数据显示，一些 TFL 特征有助于促进包容性，而其他 TFL 特征则没有，因此仅部分支持 TFL 作为一种包容性领导方法。围绕包容性领导行为越来越少的新见解被发现，为构建包容性领导理论的未来研究奠定了基础。
