| Abstract: | Recent scandals involving executive leadership have significantly affected corporate social responsibility (CSR) becoming one of the top concerns of the management literature in the 21st century. The antithesis of CSR is actualized in executive corruption and malfeasance, unfortunately all too frequently. We observe the degree of centrality of leadership, and the primary power motivation of leaders as key factors influencing corruptive leader behavior, resulting to corporate social ir-responsibility (CSIR) in organizations. we introduce shared and self-leadership, on the other hand, as oprions to traditional top-down centralized leadership views that can establish needed checks and balances able to reduce corruptive tendencies. We provide a conceptual model and multiple propositions to help guide future research and practice. |
