About the Journal
The International Journal of Responsible Leadership and Management is an international, peer-reviewed journal which aims to bring its readers the very best analysis and discussion in the field of Responsible Leadership and Responsible Management. The two drivers for us are to ensure free access to quality, relevant and novel papers and ideas, and to provide a voice for researchers and practitioners both experienced and developing.
Our journal:
- Offers insights and questions practice through applied research, insight papers and reviews
- Engages the teaching and scholarly community through pedagogic papers around responsible leadership and management and drivers such as UNSDGs and PRME
- Provides for a voice for “new” researchers and Doctoral candidates through insight papers and short work in progress or working papers
- Involves practitioners through papers reflecting practice and impact of research in the real world and professional life of managers and leaders
- Finally we seek high quality papers that address contemporary issues for all those involved in leadership and management which make a contribution to advancing the principles, practices and concepts of responsible leadership and management theory and practice.
Responsible leadership and management is the commitment to acknowledging the ethical and environmental impact of business decisions, ensuring businesses make a positive and sustainable impact on society and in doing so covers three inter-related concepts of ethics, responsibility and sustainability. The challenge for leaders and management is now less about managing functional activities and more about the impacts and longevity of such actions. As such, it is about perspective, patterns of behaviour of customers, people, and organizations, and impacts of action upon society.
Responsible leadership and management covers a wide field and we encourage submissions from diverse areas of practice and settings including business, health, education and government. We particularly welcome papers with practical application, impact and actionable results.
Topics covered include, but are not restricted to:
Leadership and management practice and ethics, sustainability and responsibility, organisational alignment to the UN SDGS in different setting and associated issues, benefits and consequences, Business as a force for good, Organisational design and business models, diversity and engagement with organisational stakeholders and actors, anti-corruption, anti-poverty, societal challenges and solutions, climate change and migration, humanistic management, societal equality, and morality in leadership and management.
