This research aims to explore how inclusive language affects employees' intentions to resign within organizations.
Conducted two studies in an Italian public administration and included 369 in Study 1 and 587 in Study 2.
Examined both formal and informal inclusive language and its relationship with perceived inclusion and resignation intentions.
Analyzed the mediating effects of perceived inclusion and job satisfaction on the relationship between language and turnover intentions.
Study 1 found that formal inclusive language correlates with lower resignation intentions through perceived inclusion.
Study 2 revealed that informal gender-inclusive language also indirectly reduces resignation intentions, enhancing perceived inclusion and job satisfaction.
Both studies underline the significance of aligning organizational policies with everyday language use among employees.
