Furthermore, it describes main tasks performed by a manager in a project. An attempt is also made to resolve the dilemma whether every project manager can also be described as a leader. Design/methodology/approach: This paper presents a theoretical approach. Analysis is conducted on the basis of literature review. Findings: This article describes a number of features that a good project manager should have. It should be emphasized that leadership qualities are personality traits represented by project managers. It is worth noting that a leader may not be a manager, but every manager should be a leader. If a manager does not have leadership characteristics, the realization of the project’s tasks may be impaired. Certainly, this does not mean that the project will not be completed. However, better results are generally achieved by project teams, which are managed by people showing a high level of leadership qualities. Research and practical limitations/implications: Conclusions drawn from the analysis can provide practical guidance to man-agers and  project teams and make up a foundation for further empirical research. Originality/value: The paper provides value for people involved in project management, both managers and project team members.

{"title":"Horse Sense Leadership: What Can Leaders Learn from Horses?","authors":"Tomasz Rajfura, Robert Karaszewski","doi":"10.12775/18716","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/18716","url":null,"abstract":"Leaders’ talent and IQ are no longer sufficient determi-nants of success. More attention is paid to their emotional intel-ligence i.e. emotions and behaviours, as natural and inseparable elements of interpersonal and business interactions. Studies show that leaders’ emotional intelligence has a reliable impact on their and organisations’ success. The development of emotional intel-ligence requires a greater level of introspection and reflexivity, so that leaders can consciously experience and control their emotions, especially in the context of their influence on interactions with others. Therefore, the leadership programs should place more emphasis on the development of emotional intelligence. To do so, business schools should provide possibly the most valuable and effective teaching methods to convey both: knowledge and practice in realistic, business environment. Especially, that emo-tional intelligence is nothing more than a constant experiencing, concluding and using these as references in the future. Experiential learning, called also a learning-by-doing method, has an interac-tive character, which allows participants to be fully engaged and, as a result, learning process occurs. One of the experiential learning methods is equine-assisted learning. This method appears to  be as effective and strongly engaging its participants in emotional intelligence development. It seems that active interactions with the horses improve human self-awareness, congruence, and social awareness. The purpose of this article is an attempt of evaluation of the equine-assisted learning method in the leadership skills development context. The article summarises the literature review on the role of emotional intelligence in management, the role of experiential learning approach in MBA curricula and the benefits of equine-assisted learning method implementation into leadership development programmes. Next, it verifies literature findings with the equine-assisted training itself to answer the question: “Can the equine -assisted training method be beneficial and useful in leadership skills development context?”.","PeriodicalId":55697,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Corporate Responsibility and Leadership","volume":"5 1","pages":"61-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47307830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Design/methodology/approach: Keywords analysis, considered as an element of research profiling methodology, is used to achieve the aim of the study. The research sample comprises bibliometric data retrieved from the Scopus database. Findings: The publications included in both research samples (i.e. these studying of sustainable enterprises and those related to sus-tainable organisations) focus their primary attention on the issues related to sustainability and CSR. Nevertheless, some interesting differences have been observed. Sustainable enterprise studies are found to be more oriented to strategic management perspective as well as natural environment and ecology. On the other hand sustainable organisation research shows more tendency to deal with the issues of organisational learning and innovation as well as relationships with external stakeholders. Research and practical limitations/implications: The study is an element of the wider research project aimed at mapping the research on the concepts of a sustainable enterprise and a sus-tainable organisation. As such it triangulates with other papers identifying key research topics within the field through different methods e.g. systematic literature review, research profiling and citation analysis. Originality/value: The originality of the study results from the novelty of research methodology (i.e. keywords analysis) applied to map the research on the concepts of a sustainable enterprise and a sustainable organisation.

{"title":"Determinants of Corporate Social Responsibility Data Collection in Polish Enterprises","authors":"J. Maj","doi":"10.12775/JCRL.2017.020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/JCRL.2017.020","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: Studies suggest that organisations tend to a selective dis-closure of non-financial information. Researchers have analysed many determinants of corporate social responsibility disclosure. However relatively little attention has been devoted to the topic of the sustainability reporting process and how the reports are developed, which includes also the question of data collection and its determinants. The paper tries to determine whether selected variables: the size of the organisation, financial performance, oper-ating on foreign markets, the issue of stakeholders mapping and preparing of non-financial reports influence the detail of collected non-financial information in Polish organisations. Design/methodology/approach: For this purpose CATI research with 102 companies listed on the Warsaw stock exchange has been conducted. The obtained results have been analysed using V Cramer contingency measure and the Kruskal-Wallis H test. Findings: The undertaken research shows there are statistical-ly significant differences between the detail of non -financial information collected by organisations mapping and not-map-ping stakeholders. In relation to the influence of the size of the organisation the obtained results were not statistically significant, yet showed a moderate correlation between those variables. Similar results were obtained for the other variables. Statistically relevant correlation has been determined in regard to the influence of operating on foreign markets and the detail of the collected data regarding respect for human rights, financial per-formance and the detail of collected information regarding respect for human rights and anti-corruption and bribery matters and the correlation between the fact of preparing non-financial reports and the detail of the collected environmental information. Research and practical limitations/implications: The limita-tions of the study result from the fact, that the questionnaire has been build using the Likert scale, for most of the questions, the quantitative nature of the presented answers imposed the choice of tools for the analysis of quantitative variables which allow for limited conclusions about the nature of the correlation. Originality/value: Based on the analysis of the existing state of art and to the best knowledge of the author the issue of determinants of collecting CSR data has not been analysed yet. Thus, this paper tries to start a discussion regarding a previously neglected issue.

{"title":"CSR Maturity Model – Theoretical Framework","authors":"Ewa Głuszek","doi":"10.12775/JCRL.2017.015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12775/JCRL.2017.015","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: The article is an attempt of conceptualization CSR according to a more dynamic application orientated perspective. The aim is understanding in what way the social responsibility can develop and root in the company’s management system. The use of the maturity model will allow managers to determine at what stage of CSR development their company is located. Design/methodology/approach: The research method is based on the analysis of the subject literature and evaluation of the results of the research procedure. Findings: Depending on the company’s culture of stakeholders, the type of CSR involved, and the sphere of influence involved, the enterprise can be found at one of five levels of maturity: Elementa-ry, Engaged, Innovative, Integrated, or Transformational. Research and practical limitations/implications: The presented model contains only a very general theoretical framework, but will allow for the development of the characteristics in the future and to operationalize them to give managers clear guidance as to what the company is doing well and which practices should still be implemented or further developed. Originality/value: A different conceptions of organisational development are matching with evolutionary nature of CSR. The main advantage of using the maturity model is the ability to determine at what stage of development the social responsibility of the company is located. Self-assessment with such a model provides managers with the knowledge of what the company is already doing in the field and what areas it should still pay atten-tion to possibly develop its CSR. The theoretical framework for the development of social responsibility presented in the article will also allow for further directions, in-depth empirical research, verifying the consistency of issues contained in particular char-acteristics (dimensions and levels) and the actual development of such practices in Polish companies.

Design/methodology/approach: Firstly, the questionnaire survey was used to gather the opinions of the participants of the confer-ence assembling the representatives of sharing and collaborative businesses in Poland. Secondly, there were conducted two individ-ual in-depth interviews with CEOs of businesses active in the col-laborative economy sector. The aim of this phase was to illustrate the theoretical framework with practical business experiences. Findings: There are strong relations among collaborative econ-omy and corporate social responsibility. The research results suggest that business models in collaborative economy approach are designed to multiple value creation for a broader group of stakeholders rather than only for clients and an organisation. Con-ducted research revealed that the issue of responsibility even if not clearly communicated is a very important element of business models’ DNA especially in its social dimension. Research and practical limitations/implications: The research results can be useful for practitioners establishing new ventures and seeking for business models including collaborative and responsible business principles. Due to the limited number of com-panies it is not possible to extend the findings and conclusions to the whole population. Originality/value: The paper presents the business point of view on the issue of collaborative business models and their relations with social responsibility. The issue of responsibility was presented as a key element of multiple value creation. The chosen research method allowed to present the voice of business representatives. It can be treated as an initial step of further research.

Businesses have developed various tools for environmen-tal communication including environmental balance sheets, social reports, and certifications. It is not enough for businesses to com-municate generic commitment to environmental protection; they have to integrate the concept of ecology into corporate culture by creating strong environmental policies and environmental ethics that describe the enterprise at all organisational levels. Businesses focusing on the development of green products must not only ‘talk ecologically’ but also ‘be ecological’.
