Author(s) Rizwan Habib

Abstract Inclusive leadership is increasingly recognized as pivotal for organizational success, particularly within knowledge intensive sectors such as Islamic banking. The purpose of this study is to examine how inclusive leadership has an impact on knowledge-sharing behavior among workers in Islamic banks in Pakistan, with the mediation of organizational commitment and moderation of task complexity by applying social exchange theory. Social exchange theory suggests that employees who are engaged want to get mutual benefits. Data was collected through questionnaire by using convenience sampling method having sample size of 373 employees from Islamic banks of Pakistan. SPSS and Smart PLS was used for analysis. All proposed hypothesis were supported which confirms the significant positive impact of Inclusive leadership on knowledge sharing behavior with mediation of organizational commitment and moderation of task complexity. Furthermore, current studies also found that task complexity moderates the relationship between inclusive leadership and organizational commitment. It was found that in highly complex tasks, if there is more support from the leader and the bond between leader and team member is stronger, the commitment of employees will be enhanced and consequently, they will share their skills and expertise with others. The findings suggest that Islamic banks should promote inclusive leadership styles by using social exchange theory to improve organizational commitment and create a knowledge-sharing culture in Islamic banks of Pakistan. Keywords: Inclusive Leadership, Knowledge Sharing Behaviors, Organizational Commitment, Task Complexity, Islamic Banks and Pakistan.
