The “Cost” of “Good” Leader: The Negative Influence of Inclusivity on Leaders’ Recovery Experience and Its Internal Mechanism

Abstract

Abstract: In this paper 106 leaders are empirically studied by the work diary survey method. The following hypotheses are verified: 1) leaders’ inclusivity has a negative impact on recovery experience; 2) Role overload / emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between leaders’ inclusivity and recovery experience, and plays a chain mediating effect between leaders’ inclusivity and recovery experience; 3) The chain mediating effect is moderated by leaders’ openness to experience: when leaders’ openness to experience is stronger, the relationship between leaders’ inclusivity and role overload is noticeably weaker, while the chain mediating effect between leaders’ inclusivity and recovery experience through role overload and emotional exhaustion is weaker as well. 4) The chain mediating effect is moderated by perceived spousal support: when perceived spousal support is stronger, the relationship between emotional exhaustion and recovery experience is noticeably weaker, while the chain mediating effect between leaders’ inclusivity and recovery experience through role overload and emotional exhaustion is weaker.

Key words: leaders’ inclusivity, recovery experience, role overload, emotional exhaustion, openness to experience
