Inclusive Leadership and Nurses' Job Satisfaction: The Mediating Role of Team Cohesion.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInclusive leadership is an important leadership approach that fosters supportive, collaborative, and psychologically safe work environments. Although previous research has demonstrated positive associations between inclusive leadership and nurses' job satisfaction, limited evidence has examined the mechanisms underlying this relationship, particularly the mediating role of team cohesion in multicultural nursing workforces.
aimTo examine the mediating role of team cohesion in the relationship between inclusive leadership and nurses' job satisfaction among registered nurses working in multicultural hospitals in Saudi Arabia.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational study was conducted among 1015 registered nurses recruited through convenience sampling from nine hospitals in the Qassim Health Cluster, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using the Inclusive Leadership Questionnaire, the Erlangen Team Cohesion at Work Scale, and the Job Satisfaction Scale for Nurses. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and Hayes' PROCESS macro (Model 4) with 5000 bootstrap samples were used for data analysis.
resultsNurses reported high levels of inclusive leadership (M = 3.70 ± 0.72), moderate levels of team cohesion (M = 2.63 ± 0.45), and moderate levels of job satisfaction (M = 4.06 ± 0.54). Inclusive leadership was positively associated with team cohesion (r = 0.618, p < 0.001) and job satisfaction (r = 0.238, p < 0.001), while team cohesion was positively associated with job satisfaction (r = 0.390, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis demonstrated a significant indirect effect of inclusive leadership on nurses' job satisfaction through team cohesion (Effect = 0.182, BootSE = 0.042, 95% bootstrap CI [0.096, 0.262]). The mediation model explained 15.2% of the variance in job satisfaction, compared with 5.6% in the total-effect model.
conclusionTeam cohesion showed a significant indirect statistical association in the relationship between inclusive leadership and nurses' job satisfaction in multicultural healthcare settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Strengthening nurse managers' inclusive leadership competencies and implementing strategies that enhance team cohesion may improve nurses' job satisfaction, collaboration, and the quality of patient care in multicultural healthcare organizations.
