Taking Responsibility for Corporate Social Responsibility: The Role of Leaders in Creating, Implementing, Sustaining, or Avoiding Socially Responsible Firm Behaviors
Abstract
This article investigates microfoundations of corporate social responsibility and corporate social irresponsibility by focusing on how leaders influence both activities. An organizing framework, drawn from the leadership literature, is utilized to combine scholarship on individual traits, behaviors, and shared leadership as antecedents to corporate social responsibility and corporate social irresponsibility activities. Resulting combinations highlight the multidimensional nature of corporate social responsibility and the benefits of focusing on emerging work on servant leadership. Merging the corporate social responsibility and leadership literatures demonstrates how each can strengthen the other and illustrates new types of individual-level questions to explore when drawing on such connections. Specifically, corporate social responsibility provides context and outcomes (dependent variables) to leadership scholars; the leadership literature offers process models and explanatory mechanisms to corporate social responsibility.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
