Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of inclusive leadership, work environment, and workload on employee mental health at PT IGP Internasional Klaten. The focus of the study is directed at understanding how inclusive leadership style, work environment quality, and workload affect employee mental health. This research approach uses a quantitative method by distributing linked questionnaires to employees with measurable instruments, so that the relationship between variables can be analyzed objectively and systematically. After being calculated using the Slovin formula with a total of 1,600 employees, this study required 95 respondents. The results show that inclusive leadership has a significant positive effect on employee mental health, so that leadership practices that are open, supportive, and respectful of diversity can increase feelings of security and comfort at work. The work environment is also proven to have a significant influence, indicating that safe, comfortable, and supportive working conditions play an important role in reducing stress and improving mental well-being. Meanwhile, workload has a negative effect on mental health, indicating that excessive workload can increase the risk of stress, mental fatigue, and decreased psychological stability. Simultaneously, these three variables have a significant influence on employee mental health. The originality of this research lies in the focus of the study on these variables in the context of manufacturing companies, which is still rarely studied. Theoretically, this study strengthens the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory, that inclusive leadership and the work environment function as job resources, while workload as a job demand that affects mental health. Practically, the research findings provide recommendations for companies to strengthen inclusive leadership practices, create a supportive work environment, and manage workload proportionally to maintain mental well-being and increase employee productivity. The plan for the continuation of this research is replication in other factories within the SANSICO group or manufacturing industries in different regions to test the level of mental health of their employees. The expectations of this research are to increase employee mental well-being, reduce turnover, improve stability and company image.
