What, When, and How of Responsible Leadership: Taking Stock of Eighteen Years of Research and a Future Agenda
系统回顾了194项关于负责任的领导力的研究,厘清其定义、理论基础及与其他道德领导构念的区别,并归纳前因、中介、调节变量和结果,为未来研究提供方向。
Abstract Because research on responsible leadership has grown significantly in recent years, we conducted a systematic review of research on responsible leadership. Our overall goal was to establish a comprehensive understanding of alternative definitions of responsible leadership, its theoretical foundations, and distinctions from other moral leadership constructs. Drawing from 194 studies, we first clarify the conceptual underpinnings of responsible leadership, and how it differs from other constructs in the moral leadership domain, thus highlighting its value as a construct. Second, we identify and evaluate the prominent theoretical frameworks that underpin responsible leadership. Third, we conceptualize the antecedents, mediating factors, contingency variables and outcomes of responsible leadership. Fourth, we offer important recommendations for future research that will move the field forward. Overall, our review provides insights to advance an understanding of responsible leadership.
