“…Voegtlin et al (2020) verified the facilitating effects of leader empathy, positive affect, and universal value orientation on responsible leadership behavior through empirical research [22]. Sánchez et al (2020) found that personal aspirations and anticipated workplace behavior patterns are associated with responsible leadership styles, through a study among future leaders [10]. However, Machiavellianism may encourage leaders to demonstrate irresponsible behavior [11].…”

“…There are still many challenges for establishing responsible leadership, both in theory and in practice [8], which require further in-depth exploration [9]. Despite the growing corpus of literature on responsible leadership, responsible leadership styles, as well as individual characteristics, situational factors, and corporate social responsibility policy and practice associated with responsible leadership are still poorly understood [10]. Previous studies have mostly explored the possible outcomes of responsible leadership, especially in terms of employee and organizational performance.…”

Due to the massive global impact of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the call for social and environment responsibility has grown stronger, and discussion regarding responsible leadership has been aroused. Agreement on the antecedents of responsible leadership has not yet been reached, however, and most studies are theoretical and focus on the personal characteristics of leaders. In this paper, we explore the antecedents of responsible leadership behavior at the organizational and situational level, through case studies of companies in China. Based on the organizational strategy, organizational ownership, mass media, crisis, local community, and other influencing factors, we determine two types of responsible leadership behaviors: Proactive responsible leadership behavior, which involves leaders showing initiative in dealing with relationships with stakeholders both inside and outside the organization, as well as voluntarily striving to assume relevant responsibilities in order to achieve economic and/or social development goals; and passive responsible leadership behavior, which involves acts of being responsible to some stakeholders under pressure from external circumstances or when unexpected events occur, even though this behavior may go against the actor’s original intention. We further explore the influence mechanism of these factors on responsible leadership and discuss the development trend from passive to proactive responsible leadership behavior.

“…Furthermore, the studies of Sánchez et al (2020) and Dugan et al (2011) provide evidence that the context can push Latin American leaders to engage in RL from an early age. In their study, the authors investigated the relationship between RL styles and ratings regarding corporate social responsibilities in 1,833 business management students (mean age of 22) from six Ibero-American universities.…”

“…Thus, when examining the possible effects that the educational context can have on the style that future leaders adopt, the works by Sánchez et al (2020) and Dugan et al (2011) highlight that the idiosyncrasies of Latin American countries seem to awaken in future leaders an orientation towards the inherent social and economic needs and shortcomings of such contexts. Therefore, future leaders educated in these contexts often show an orientation towards a leadership style that considers the needs of their organization and stakeholders: a leadership style characterized by responsibility.…”

Although it is a relatively new concept, the literature on responsible leadership has gained prominence. Some systematic reviews have been published but none have focused on analyzing the Latin American context or tried to establish the role that it can play in the emergence of this phenomenon. This article reviewed the research on responsible leadership in Latin America and established two specific roles: On the one hand, the context can act as a pushing force, promoting the moral development of a responsible leader; on the other hand, the context can act as a pulling force that demands the emergence of responsible leaders. This research lays the foundations for research on responsible leadership in Latin America and highlights the importance of the context in its appearance, particularly in developing economies.

“…Maak et al (2016) have proposed a theoretical framework based on the analysis of some behavioral-based classification of responsible leadership to explore the micro-foundations of political CSR. These authors have proposed integrative and instrumental as two styles of RL that differ in the values and implications for CSR-related behavioral patterns (Sánchez et al , 2020). The leaders’ adoption of these responsible leadership styles is dependent upon their different value orientations reflecting the degree of perceived fiduciary duty or welfare orientation (Maak et al , 2016).…”

Purpose This study aims to explore how some organizational leaders are making successful attempts toward making “social contributions” toward the underprivileged or needy stakeholders in the society. This study suggests empirical themes about behavioral patterns of such organizational leaders and illustrates the need to transcend erstwhile “avoid harm” socially responsible leadership. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected on 52 Indian organizational leaders and were analyzed following the guidelines of constructionist grounded theory. Findings Findings suggested that organizational leaders who facilitated some form of social contributions in the life of different stakeholders had “unconditional adherence to social contributions,” they were “pertinacious about going the extra mile” to facilitate social contributions and at times their “existence as an enthusiastically innovative change agent” also facilitated social contributions to the lives of different stakeholders. Social implications This study might initiate discussion around the behavioral patterns of organizational leaders who are attempting to make society a better place by leading or facilitating social contributions. Identified exemplary behavioral patterns might encourage more exploratory studies directed toward the identification of other forms of socially contributive leadership attributes. Originality/value Emphasis on investigating corporate social responsibility (CSR) from individual-level perspective advocated the importance of the psychological foundation of CSR. This study empirically identifies behavioral patterns that characterize organizational leaders who had a strong commitment to make social contributions to society. Patterns identified corresponded to cognitive and behavioral approaches of organizational leaders that were instrumental in actualizing social contributions to the Indian society.
