Inclusive Leadership Survey Item Development
Abstract
To promote a more ready and capable force, the U.S. Army has called for the fostering and maintenance of positive organizational climates. In particular, to leverage the diversity within the Army, the Army has pushed for the creation of climates for inclusion that are characterized by dignity, respect, and perceptions of value and worth. As facilitators and coordinators of action within the Army, leaders play a prominent role in the development and maintenance of these inclusive climates. The current research effort aimed to identify and develop a comprehensive measure of inclusive leadership within an Army context. The actions that inclusive leaders take were derived from several sources that represent academic literature, Army doctrine, and first-hand accounts from Soldiers. Final synthesis of these actions yielded a survey measure that consisted of 68 items within five dimensions of inclusive leadership.
