Abstract This paper proposed a multiple mediation model based on the conservation of resources theory to examine how inclusive leadership influence employees’ challenge-oriented organizational citizenship behavior through affective trust and cognitive trust, as well as the internal mechanism of employees trust in supervisors. Results showed that inclusive leadership was positively related with employees challenge-oriented organizational citizenship behavior; employees’ affective trust fully mediated the relationship between inclusive leadership and challenge-oriented organizational citizenship behavior;although cognitive trust was not significantly related with challenge-oriented organizational citizenship behavior, it mediated the relationship between inclusive leadership and affective trust, and the indirect effect of inclusive leadership on challenge-oriented organizational citizenship behavior from cognitive trust to affective trust were significant.
