Political, religious, sports and business leaders across the world have been under scrutiny regarding allegedly unethical behaviors. The current study analyzes the use of responsible leadership in management research. Using a sample of 64 articles published in SSCI-indexed journals over 10 years (2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016), we carried out a bibliometric analysis to understand the intellectual structure of the responsible leadership literature. The results of authorship, citation and co-citation, and factor analyses reveal the most prolific authors and the most notable journals writing and publishing on responsible leadership. The most cited works are theoretical, using Western frameworks and cultures, and focus on the concept of responsible leadership; only a few empirical/case study articles appear. Also, the most prevalent links are between theoretical works and highlight the conceptualization, understanding, and roles and parameters of responsible leaders. Six distinct factors emerge, denoting the groups of studies devoted to the evolution of leadership, transformational leadership, stakeholder theory and leadership, conceptualization and understanding of the topic, and roles of responsible leaders. These various research topics show the central tenets of responsible leadership, as well as the existing gaps in the existent literature.

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyse the simultaneous effects of perceived job insecurity and organizational commitment on the innovative behavior of workers in an announced downsizing environment. Design/methodology/approach -The authors suggest and empirically test a model using the case of a firm, an innovative high technology firm, in a downsizing process. Findings -The results show an indirect effect of job insecurity on innovative behavior, through organizational commitment. Research limitations/implications -First, the paper only examined one firm. Although the firm is a large multinational firm it may have a specific organizational culture and a track record that generates some idiosyncratic feelings in face of downsizing. Second, the context of knowledgeintensive firms limits the scope of the study, although it is reasonable to suggest that these firms are more dependent on employees' innovative efforts for competitive advantage. Practical implications -This study is a contribution to the HRM practitioners in a tense and delicate worldwide restructuring situation. The outcomes experienced by those who remainthe survivorsare important for the future competitive capabilities of firms post-downsizing. Social implications -Thus, it seems that organizational commitment directly and positively determines workers' innovative behavior and that organizational commitment is impacted by job insecurity in an announced downsizing environment. It is, essentially, an affective commitment and job insecurity is more affected by a perceived threat to one's total job. Originality/value -A downsizing strategy warrants that the full impact on firms' ability to innovate be assessed.
Educational policy and social sciences researchers have been studying dishonest behaviors among students for a long time. In this bibliometric study we examine the extant literature on academic dishonesty until 2017. We also analyze the specific case of the literature on plagiarism (as a specific type of academic dishonesty) since it is arguably one of the most common academic dishonest behavior. We aim at identifying the intellectual structure of the field of academic dishonesty and plagiarism. Results show that Donald L. McCabe (academic dishonesty) and Richard L. Marsh (plagiarism) appear as the most productive authors. Furthermore, Whitley (Research in Higher Education, 39(3), 235-274, 1998) "Factors associated with cheating among college students: A review", and Pennycook (TESOL Quarterly, 30(2), 201-230, 1996), entitled "Borrowing others' words: Text, ownership, memory, and plagiarism" are the most cited publications on academic dishonesty and on plagiarism, respectively. Additionally, a strong connection between the McCabe and Treviño articles emerged from the cocitation analysis on academic dishonesty, and also a strong relationship between Pennycook (TESOL Quarterly, 30(2), 1996) and Pecorari (Journal of Second Language Writing, 12(4), 2003), suggesting that these articles are strongly connected. Results suggest that these are the most influential authors and articles of the field.
Responsible leadership is an emerging topic in the leadership literature. It deals with a broad spectrum of relationships, as it expands the focus of classic leadership theorieswhich are confined to leader-followers interactions -to the interfaces between leaders, on one hand, and various internal and external stakeholders, on the other hand.Consequently, responsible leadership explores concepts such as responsibility, ethics, sustainability, and stakeholders' interests, in order to understand the mutual influences amongst all those groups that are to some degree relevant to the organisation. The study of responsible leadership sheds light on how institutions, companies, leaders, employees and individuals develop a more holistic, inclusive and responsible management approach in organisational settings. The current chapter advances some reflexions on responsible leadership and its link to responsible management. The main argument is that responsible leadership is of outmost relevance to understanding the individual component of the responsible management concept.
As a recent concept in leadership and organizational studies, responsible leadership is said to bring many benefits to organizations in all sectors. This statement is more theoretically grounded than empirically based, as field studies are still scarce in many sectors and industries, and even more so in nonprofit organizations. The current investigation seeks to explore the multiple relationships between responsible leadership and a number of important outcome variables in organizations, namely organization commitment and work engagement. The study further examines organizational identification as a moderating and explaining mechanism between responsible leadership and the two mentioned outcomes, in the nonprofit sector. Questionnaires from 231 employees from Portuguese nonprofit organizations were collected and analyzed with structural equation modeling, partial least squares (SEM-PLS). The results confirmed that responsible leadership is an antecedent for the three variables, and that organizational identification mediates the relationship between responsible leadership on the one hand, and organizational commitment and work engagement on the other hand. Responsible leadership provides several benefits for the understanding and management of leadership in nonprofit organizations. Thus, nonprofit organizations should be able to select, prepare, train, and develop leaders with the aim to become more
