Abstract: This research aims to examine the correlation between inclusive leadership and employee green behaviour, with the mediating influence of perceived organisational support, among employees of chosen home appliances manufacturing companies. The data collection includes a questionnaire survey from 125 employees of various departments of the selected home appliances company. The study used the correlation to examine the connection between the factors. The Hayes process is used to assess the mediating effect. The studies indicate that inclusive leadership, perceived organisational support, and employee green behaviour are highly associated. The result also says that path 'a' and path 'b,' which is an indirect effect, show a positive effect, which means the full mediation effect prevails. It can be concluded that as the leaders are open, supportive, and sharing their vision with followers, they can foster environmental green behaviour in the organisation and support the environmental policy of the organisation.

Keywords: inclusive leadership; employee green behaviour; EGB; perceived organisational support; POS; corporate social responsibility; CSR; environmental sustainability; Hayes process.
