This paper examines cultural and leadership variables associated with corporate social responsibility values that managers apply to their decision-making. In this longitudinal study, we analyze data from 561 firms located in 15 countries on five continents to illustrate how the cultural dimensions of institutional collectivism and power distance predict social responsibility values on the part of top management team members. CEO visionary leadership and integrity were also uniquely predictive of such values

The empirical literature on charismatic or transformational leadership demonstrates that such leadership has profound effects on followers. However, while several versions of charismatic leadership theory predict such effects, none of them explains the process by which these effects are achieved. In this paper we seek to advance leadership theory by addressing this fundamental problem. We offer a self-concept based motivational theory to explain the process by which charismatic leader behaviors cause profound transformational effects on followers. The theory presents the argument that charismatic leadership has its effects by strongly engaging followers’ self-concepts in the interest of the mission articulated by the leader. We derive from this theory testable propositions about (a) the behavior of charismatic leaders and their effects on followers, (b) the role of followers’ values and orientations in the charismatic relationship, and (c) some of the organizational conditions that favor the emergence and effectiveness of charismatic leaders.

Although researchers predominately test for linear relationships between variables, at times there may be theoretical and even empirical reasons for expecting nonlinear functions. We examined if the relation between intelligence (IQ) and perceived leadership might be more accurately described by a curvilinear single-peaked function. Following Simonton’s (1985) theory, we tested a specific model, indicating that the optimal IQ for perceived leadership will appear at about 1.2 standard deviations above the mean IQ of the group membership. The sample consisted of mid-level leaders from multinational private-sector companies. We used the leaders’ scores on the Wonderlic Personnel Test—a measure of IQ—to predict how they would be perceived on prototypically effective leadership (i.e., transformational and instrumental leadership). Accounting for the effects of leader personality, gender, age, as well as company, country, and time fixed effects, analyses indicated that perceptions of leadership followed a curvilinear inverted-U function of intelligence. The peak of this function was at an IQ score of about 120, which did not depart significantly from the value predicted by the theory. As the first direct empirical test of a precise curvilinear model of the intelligence-leadership relation, the results have important implications for future research on how leaders are perceived in the workplace.

... The study by GLOBE shows, even more, sever results as they found a significant negative correlation (γ = -0.26, p < 0.05) between assertiveness orientation values and cultural-referenced practices (Quigley, de Luque, & House, 2012). Other GLOBE studies have shown that people from 61 societies have experience greater assertiveness in their cultural practices and they wish it to be lower. ...

... We argue that responsible outcomes are enabled through the effective combination of antecedents and moderators and the engagement with various forms of leadership (including the suggested positive approaches to leadership). There has been some limited work on understanding responsibility within leadership as a process, but more work is needed to build on previous (Egri & Herman, 2000) • Transformational leadership relates to CSR (Du et al., 2013;Groves & LaRocca, 2011;Pless et al., 2012;Verissimo & Lacerda, 2015) • The intellectual stimulation component of transformational leadership relates to CSR (Waldman et al., 2006b) Transactional leadership • Transactional leadership is important to ensure CSR outcomes for the organisation Pless et al., 2012;Stahl & de Luque, 2014;Strand, 2014) Charismatic leadership • Charismatic leadership relates to CSR (Vlachos et al., 2013) • CEOs with strong stakeholder values tended to be viewed by followers as highly visionary (Waldman et al., 2006a;de Luque et al., 2008) Ethical leadership • Employees' external CSR perception ( attempts. For example, Stahl and deLuque (2014) discussed leaders' characteristics (antecedents) (e.g., leaders' personality traits and moral philosophies) and how they are moderated by proximal and distal contexts (e.g., national culture as a distal context and organisational code of conduct as a proximal context). ...

... Indeed, while the practice of e-leadership is expanding rapidly (Van Wart et al., 2019) and inevitably, either due to the technology itself or the role leadership is expected to play in organizations, the academic contribution to the field is still limited (Venkatesh, 2013). In recent years, different constructs such as "digital leadership" have been included in the debate and considered synonymous with e-leadership (House, 1999). While the term e-leadership started to become popular in the early 2000s, the term "digital leadership" is a relatively recent one in the domain investigating the relationship between leadership and new technology at work. ...
