Responsible leadership: A systematic literature review, theoretical framework, and future research directions
这篇系统综述整合了2004至2024年间53本期刊的140篇文章,从动机、模式与心态三个核心维度剖析负责任的领导力,并区分其与其它领导理论的不同,为学者和管理者提供了清晰的概念框架和研究方向。
This systematic literature review critically examines recent developments in research on responsible leadership (RL) through a framework that combines the core elements of leadership theory: motive, mode and mindset (MMM) along with their antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO). It covers studies published from 2004 to 2024, drawing from interdisciplinary literature across fifty-three academic journals and 140 articles. The review defines RL as a distinct concept and highlights its influence on the individual- (micro), team- (meso), and macro-organizational and societal levels. It provides an overview of the research domain, focusing on trends in RL research, discussing its definition, and distinguishing it from other leadership theories. Additionally, it outlines key characteristics, moderators, causal mechanisms that reinforce the relationship between RL and long-term organizational outcomes. The review also proposes a framework, illustrative propositions, and potential themes and research questions for further investigation.
