"Inclusive Leadership for Sustainable Development: An Integrative Literature Review"

In today's diverse and dynamic workplaces, inclusive leadership has emerged as a crucial strategy for fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion. This paper presents an integrative literature review where 81 relevant papers are reviewed using the PRISMA Framework for comprehensive literature analysis. The review aims to consolidate and critically evaluate existing research on inclusive leadership, exploring its key characteristics and theories, as well as its impact on organizational culture, employee engagement, talent management, and decision-making processes. Additionally, a bibliometric analysis is performed to identify current research trends in the field. The paper highlights the alignment of inclusive leadership with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG-5 (Gender Equality) and SDG-10 (Reduced Inequalities), underscoring its potential for contributing to sustainable development efforts. The paper also suggests a conceptual framework based on key aggregate dimensions derived from the literature, offering guidance for further research and prospective opportunities in the domain of inclusive leadership.
