socially responsible leadership, corporate social responsibility, strategyAbstract
In response to the contemporary challenges of sustainable development and the needs of corporate social responsibility, the concept of socially responsible leadership has been proposed. In the literature to date, socially responsible leaders are defined from two different perspectives – as integrators, whose area of interest includes all stakeholders of the company, or as strategists who prefer a strictly marketbased approach to corporate social responsibility. The purpose of the article is to present to what extent top managers agree with the importance of environmental and social factors in everyday management. The article presents the results of a survey among a representative group of representatives of enterprises in Poland (N = 543). Two groups of socially responsible leaders – integrators and strategists – were identified and described. The second group is more numerously represented.
