Tracking Survey Dataset on the Mechanism of Inclusive Leadership's Impact on Employee Innovation in Chinese Workplaces (2024)

All three questionnaires were targeted and pushed through the "Wenjuanxing" enterprise version, with a four week interval between each stage: T1 collected inclusive leadership and demographic control variables (620 distributed and 598 collected); T2 collected a sense of professional mission and work reflection (562 responses were collected); T3 collected innovative behaviors from employees (519 were collected).

After three rounds of matching, excluding questionnaires with a filling time of less than 120 seconds, 10 consecutive questions with the same score, and logical contradictions, 519 valid tracking samples were finally obtained, with an effective retention rate of 83.7%. The investigation did not use specialized experimental equipment and relied solely on self-assessment by the subjects. The questionnaire includes 6 demographic variables (gender, age, education, work experience, nature of the organization, industry), 9 inclusive leadership items (x1 – x9), 4 career mission items (m11 – m14), 12 work reflection items (m21 – m212), and 6 employee innovation behavior items (y1 – y6), all using a Likert 5-point scale (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree), without measurement units.
