This study aims to explore the effect of green inclusive leadership (GIL) on green work engagement (GWE). It also examines the mediating role of employees' green intrinsic motivation (GIM). The study investigated 50 category -A travel agencies and 20 five-star hotels in the Greater Cairo region of Egypt. The PLS-SEM approach was used to analyze 392 responses obtained from full-time employees. Results revealed that green inclusive leadership positively impacts employees' green intrinsic motivation and green work engagement. In addition, employees' green intrinsic motivation positively impacts green work engagement and mediates the relationship between green inclusive leadership and employees' green work engagement. The study offers comprehensive insights into green inclusive leadership, employee intrinsic motivation, and work engagement in the Egyptian tourism and hotel industry.
