Abstract
Higher education institutions are characterised by generating knowledge and innovation, where teamwork and leadership are key. This paper focuses on inclusive leadership and analyses its impact on organisational conditions (perceived organisational support -POS-) and behavioural results (employees’ innovative behaviour and psychological contract breach) in European higher education institutions. Results show that inclusive leadership has a significant, direct and positive effect on employees’ innovative behaviour and POS. Inclusive leadership also has an indirect and positive effect on employees’ innovative behaviour and an indirect and negative effect on psychological contract breach, both mediated by POS. Some recommendations are provided to European universities to improve their management and results, as well as differentiating themselves from other universities.
