Are Public Leaders Even Remotely Inclusive? How does leadership affect the feeling of inclusion among teleworking civil servants in the Netherlands?

Master thesis | Public Administration (MSc)

The concepts of inclusion and teleworking are both extensively researched, but studies linking the two are missing. This thesis investigates how leadership affects the feeling of inclusion among teleworking civil servants. It finds that, contrary to expectation, teleworking does not have a universal negative impact on feelings of inclusion, but that there are both positives and negatives with very different implications for each individual. Furthermore, both inclusive and authentic leadership styles prove to be effective in improving feelings of inclusion among civil servants working from home.
