The study was conducted using a demographic questionnaire and self-report questionnaires to assess the dimensions of a sense of organizational coherence, diversity climate and inclusive management. Findings – It was found that the higher the level of management, the higher the sense of organizational coherence, the higher diversity climate and the higher inclusive management. Demographic characteristics (gender, socioeconomic status, level of management, cultural groups in the organization in addition to the secular), sense of organizational coherence and diversity climate explained 61.2% of the variance in inclusive management. Furthermore, sense of organizational coherence had the highest contribution with 52%. Additionally, it fully mediated the links between level of management and inclusive management.
