目的本研究旨在探讨管理者包容性领导对知识共享行为的影响。此外，作者还考虑了员工生理性别多样性对IL与员工KS行为关系的跨水平调节作用。设计/方法/方法在一家日本大公司进行了两波问卷调查。样本包括129组的827名员工（254名男性和573名女性）。然后，作者使用层次线性模型（HLM）进行了跨层次分析。发现sil促进两种类型的员工KS：知识捐赠（KD）和知识收集（KC）。此外，员工生物性别多样性对工作满意度与工作满意度关系的调节作用因工作满意度类型而异。IL仅在高生物性别多样性组对KD有正向影响，对低生物性别多样性组无影响。实际意义本研究对员工生理性别多样性较高的人事部门具有一定的实际意义。此外，为了改善员工的KS行为，培养管理者的IL技能可能很重要。独创性/价值这是第一个探讨IL和KS之间关系的研究，也是第一个为员工生理性别多样性的调节作用提供证据的研究。
PurposeThis study aims to examine the impact of managers’ inclusive leadership (IL) on knowledge-sharing (KS) behavior. Additionally, the authors consider the cross-level moderation effect of diversity in the biological sex of employees on the relationship between IL and employee KS behaviors.Design/methodology/approachA two-wave questionnaire survey was conducted in a large Japanese company. The sample included 827 employees (254 men and 573 women) in 129 groups. The authors, then, conducted a cross-level analysis using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM).FindingsIL promotes two types of KS among employees: knowledge donating (KD) and knowledge collecting (KC). Additionally, the moderating effects of employee biological-sex diversity on the relationship between IL and KS varied according to the KS type. IL had a positive effect on KD only in groups with higher biological-sex diversity, and did not affect groups with lower biological-sex diversity. Biological-sex diversity did not moderate the relationship between IL and KC.Practical implicationsThis study has practical implications, especially for personnel departments with high diversity in employees’ biological sex. Further, to improve employees’ KS behaviors, it may be important to develop managers’ IL skills.Originality/valueThis is the first study that explores the relationship between IL and KS and the first to provide evidence of the moderating effect of diversity of employee’s biological sex.
