Abstract

This research examines the interaction among inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and employee voice within the SME sector of Pakistan’s Hatter Industrial Estate. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, this study probes the role of psychological safety as a mediator between inclusive leadership and employee voice. Data were collected from 191 employees across SMEs, employing validated survey instruments to measure these variables. The findings suggest a significant positive relationship between inclusive leadership and employee voice; however, the mediating role of psychological safety was found to be context-dependent. This research highlights the need for tailored leadership practices to foster employee engagement and innovation within SMEs in developing economies. Practical implications and avenues for future research are discussed.
