ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study is to know that how a leader can transform it into a
responsible leader, the variables used in the research paper are leadership
characteristics as an independent leader, behavioral intention as an
mediating variable, moderator used is organizational support and the
dependent variable is responsible leader, this is the thing which we are
finding out in the current research paper. The sample size of the study is of
300 people and the sector selected was the banking industry mainly Faysal
and AL Barakah bank. The survey was carried out in Islamabad, sector F 10
markaz.
KEYWORDS:
Leadership Characteristics, Behavioral Intention, Organizational support and
Responsible leader.
INTRODUCTION:
Responsible leadership has emerged as a major theme in academic and practical
management discourse. We see that a leader can make or break any organization, it
is just a leader who can take the organization up and bring the organization down,
leadership characteristics are important for any individual. In this paper we provide
an overview and synthesis of existing and emerging research on responsible
leadership that who actually are responsible leader, how they can take the
organization to upper limits and come up as a motivation for their staff and people
working under them moreover we would see that how any individual can be a good
leader and propose a unifying framework for explaining leaders, there can be a
mediating thing as well which has an impact on responsible leader that can be the
behavioral intention of an individual, it is understood that behaviors decide every
certain thing likewise the behavior of a person decides or indicates that if someone
wants to be a good leader or he doesnt wants to be a leader. A person not
particular about time and takes his decision without knowing the situation, is pretty
causal about its work can never be a good leader because it is understood that he
doesnt want to be a leader or a person of dignity. Propensity to engage in two
types of socially responsible behavior: do well do well is a very broad terminology
this word says that if a leader can do well in a certain area, not just this but the real
meaning of this word is that a person as leader has to do well if he is a leader then
and only then he can be called as an effective leader if someone is not able to do so
he is unfortunately an ordinary leader and can never be a good leader and avoid
harm is another terminology the second trait of a leader it says everything this
means that the leader not just has to do well but he has to avoid harm too, if he is
giving company a profit of 50M and doing this there are a lot of causalities for no
reason this is not a good leadership habit this is a poor display of work a leader has
to avoid harm, or maybe you can say that there are two types of leader one who try
to do good and take positive steps and the others just avoid harm and take baby
steps to the success they both are getting success in other way. The framework
models the linkages among individual, situational, organizational, institutional, and
supranational influences on responsible leader behavior and describes the
mechanisms by which these factors may affect a leaders decisions and actions. Our
analysis suggests that do well and avoid harm behaviors are conceptually
distinct categories, with different psychological bases and different antecedents
that predict them. Further, we find that individual level and contextual factors
combine and interact to influence responsible leader behavior, and a key aspect of
the environment in which leaders act and make decisionssituational strength
moderates the relationship between individual-level factors and a leaders
propensity to engage in do good and avoid harm behavior. In addition to
providing directions for future research on responsible leader behavior, this article
has several implications for practice, specifically how to select, train and develop
social leaders. Moderator can be a key factor in deciding the leadership traits
moderator can be the organization support in it, this means that the
organization has an important role in defining a leader, if a person is backed
by the organization therefore he would take positive steps and take
initiatives thus he would come out as a motivational leader for its staff. On
the other hand if organization support is not enough then he would be
careful while taking decisions and doing anything. A leader would not come
out as a motivation for his staff.
As the world is recovering from a major economic crisis and, as some have argued,
a crisis of management ethics (e.g., Ghoshal, 2005; Waldman & Galvin, 2008),
business leaders are under increased scrutiny. Top executives in the West and
elsewhere have been exposed for dishonesty, greed, and unethical business
practices. These highly publicized instances of management misconduct have
eroded public faith in business and brought to the forefront the recognition that
business leaders may be acting irresponsibly more often than previously thought. As
a result, trust in business is at one of the lowest levels on record, particularly in the
United States and Europe (Edelman Trust Barometer, 2012).1 recent calls for more
ethical managerial conduct are a reaction to these scandals and crises. They are
also a result of changes and new demands in the global marketplace, such as
increased stakeholder activism and scrutiny (e.g., Aguilera, Rupp, Williams, &
Ganapathi, 2007; Doh & Guay, 2006; Husted & Allen, 2006). As sociopolitical and
environmental challenges intensify around the world there is increasing pressure
from stakeholdersamong them governments, local communities, NGOs, and
consumers on corporations and their leaders to engage in self-regulation and take
more active roles as global citizens (Stahl, Pless, & Maak, 2013).

member by doing this, there is another type of leader considered responsible
and that is which does not do actually any good to the firm but they focus on
avoiding harm and damages which can occur in the sector they tend them to
keep away from them. This is the pervious study done by the authors

RESEARCH QUESTION:
HYPO THESIS:
channel the world through the same eyes we do. Additionally, when we do,
we miss an impressive measure. "We get the chance to be judgmental and
evaluative instead of inquisitive." We similarly ought to make certain and
humble. Exactly when an inner assurance "is not modify with quiet selfassessment or full developed enthusiastic learning, it gets the chance to be
skewed and egocentric." This is more than insightful understanding, this is
behavioral learning. We ought to have the ability to interface what we (and
others) are experiencing and go along with it to what we know. When it
doesn't relate we need to tunnel more significant and increase from it.
Shockingly, "individuals may deny that the situation is any particular and
disregard to notice that their customary illustrations are showing unhelpful.
They may succumb to an individual blind spot and disregard to learn." This is
a vital development for most pioneers. We tend to grow up considering
pioneers independent of as opposed to related with different people. More
tyrannical than co-creators. Careful pioneers view themselves in association
with others. "Those whose perspective of accomplishment relies on upon
others' success are transforming into a more grounded force than possibly
various make sense of it." Careful pioneers have a controlling reason that
enables them to focus their imperativeness and development. "Pioneers with
an in number driving reason that answers the 'why am I doing this?' request
need tantamount levels of focus to ensure that their dreams and dreams
don't stay out of compass. The request is: "The spot do I need to focus my
thought and my essentialness and in this way what are redirections to be
avoided?" Skilled activity requires an "other" focus, quietude and care. "To be
a competent pioneer is to wander forward into the space and the moment
with an 'I can and I will' disposition to impact circumstances and structures
for more traits.
LEADERSHIP CHARCTERSTICS:
Organizational Support is the support given by the organization, how and
what organization provides you. Organizational support is for the leader
especially and it is to ensure that if a leader willing to work or he is interested to
make new steps in any organization. Organizational support is important what
actually is organizational support now, it is the support given by the organization to
their employees and leaders moreover it is the trust that organizational has on his
own employees. Likewise people who are from any organization and then they do
anything or take any step the organization backs them and supports them in what
so ever way it may be. If any organization fails to do it, the organization has to bear
its consiquenceses, the people wont have the comfort working there, people would
be afraid to taking any positive or good steps, they would rather just do their job
and kill time for no reason, another thing which can turn out as a threat for any
company that is that people could leave their company and jump on to another
company
ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT:
The absence of regard for relevant impacts in existing behavioral morals
exploration has driven KishGephart also, associates (2010, p. 23) to finish up
that "there is a requirement for more extensive band inquire about that
researches more perplexing designs of person, good issue, and hierarchical
environment variables." This requires more noteworthy clarity concerning
how relevant conditions may direct singular distinction impacts. We
recommend that the situational, authoritative, institutional, and
supranational impacts talked about above advance or thwart dependable
pioneer conduct by expanding the mental quality of the circumstances
confronting supervisors in their workplaces. Mischel (1973) recommended
that the mental elements of circumstances impact the behavioral expression
of identity characteristics. He contended that the behavioral articulation of
attitudes is liable to be stifled by exceptionally compelling "solid"
circumstances, however, that these airs will probably be authorized in
"feeble" circumstances. Mentally solid circumstances are those in which
there are solid behavioral standards, solid motivations for particular sorts of
practices, and clear assumptions about what practices are remunerated and
rebuffed. Along these lines, in associations that are very formalized and
represented by settled part desires, rules, strategies, and methodology,
there is less open door for directors to behaviorally express their
dispositional inclinations (House & Aditya, 1997). Such mentally solid
circumstances are described not just by confined choice making limit
furthermore, extent of activity, additionally by constrained capacity to
impact behavioral results. By complexity, in associations where directors are
less obliged by guidelines, strategies, and regulations and have more
noteworthy circumspection over their exercises, there is more open door for
them to express their airs and to impact hierarchical results. Such powerless
circumstances permit a more extensive scope of practices and thus grant
articulation of individual contrasts by directors. Along these lines, we
lawful framework inside which directors work will probably influence the
mental quality of the circumstance and, subsequently, directors' penchant to
take part in dependable and unreliable conduct. Case in point, a domain
where partner rights are not administered, law implementation is remiss,
corporate administration structures are frail, and 246 The Academy of
Management Perspectives August the part of the media is limited makes a
frail circumstance that would likely not advance mindful administrative
conduct. Then again, when directors work in situations where partner rights
are secured through instruments like the UNGC, hearty corporate
administration structures exist, and laws and regulations are stringently
upheld (consequently making a mentally solid circumstance), there is both
less opportunity and less requirement for supervisors to behaviorally express
their attitudes, great or awful.
RESPONSIBLE LEADER
An audit of the behavioral morals and dependable administration writings
demonstrates that most variables 240 The Academy of Management
Perspectives August distinguished as predecessors of socially dependable
decisions are individual-level qualities. They incorporate identity qualities, for
example, the "Huge Five" components of neuroticism, extraversion,
openness, appropriateness, and principles (Kalshoven et al., 2010); qualities
and convictions (Crilly et al., 2008); psychological procedures (Green &
Weber, 1997); summed up hopes, for example, locus-of-control introduction
(Shapeero, Koh, & Killough, 2003); and emotional states (Judge, Scott, & Ilies,
2006). Research on other individual-level attributes incorporates hazard
observations (Fraedrich & Ferrell, 1992); phases of intellectual good
advancement (Trevio, 1986); and capacities, abilities, and behavioral
manners, such as dependable administration skills (Cameron & Caza, 2005),
dependable administration introductions (Pless, Maak, & Waldman, 2012),
and worldwide administration abilities (Miska, Stahl, & Mendenhall, 2013), as
well as demographics, including sex, age, and instruction level (Franke,
Crown, & Spake, 1997). Albeit the majority of the studies explored don't
expressly concentrate on administration conduct, the elements recognized in
observational research as precursors of people's moral decisions may be
seen as potential impacts on pioneers' inclination to lock in in socially
mindful or flighty behavior. These studies propose, for instance, that
directors with identity qualities and qualities that stress quest for one's own
advantage, rather than the more noteworthy normal great, are more prone
to take part in exercises that put partners at danger or hurt and less inclined
to take part in exercises that upgrade societal welfare (Crilly et al., 2008). By
difference, supervisors who grasp self-extraordinary qualities are more prone
to settle on choices and take activities that advantage society and maintain
a strategic distance from destructive results for others (Ashkanasy, Windsor,
& Trevio, 2006; Kalshoven et al., 2010). Among the numerous individuallevel elements that have been mulled over in the association are four key
elements that we audit here: sympathy, subjective moral advancement,
Machiavellianism, and good theories. Compassion alludes to another-situated
passionate reaction consistent with the apparent welfare of another (Batson,
Duncan, Ackerman, Buckey, & Birch, 1981) and mirrors the capacity of a
individual to nearly imitate someone else's enthusiastic state (Eisenberg,
2000). Sympathy related reacting has been reliably discovered to be related
with prosocial conduct (Eisenberg, 1986). In spite of the fact that compassion
has been generally considered in test settings (see Batson, 1991, for a
survey), administration analysts are progressively perceiving its significance
for administration in a hierarchical connection (e.g., Kellett, Humphrey, &
Sleeth, 2006; Sadri, Weber, & Gentry, 2011). Researchers have
recommended that compassion is a premise for connectedness what's more,
charitableness (Pavlovich & Krahnke, 2012) and corporate altruism (Muller,
Pfarrer, & Little, 2014). At long last, compassion has been experimentally
demonstrated to diminish an administrator's inclination to go along with
solicitations by power figures to participate in conduct that has destructive
outcomes for workers (Dietz & Kleinlogel, 2013). Intellectual good
improvement (CMD) hypothesis alludes to the phases of intellectual manysided quality through which people's ethical activities climb (Kohlberg, 1984).
CMD is made out of five successive levels that people hypothetically
progress through in life, turning out to be generally steady at adulthood. The
fifth or post-traditional level demonstrates an advanced level of good
thinking in which people apply standards of equity and rights and consider
societal great in choice making (Kish-Gephart et al., 2010). People who are at
the higher phases of CMD have been discovered to be less inclined to
participate in dishonest conduct (see Trevio, 1992, for an audit of CMD and
dishonest conduct in the work environment) and to be more inclined to
participate in moral conduct, for example, whistleblowing (Road, 1995). CMD
is therefore prone to impact both the "do great" and "maintain a strategic
distance from damage" measurements of capable pioneer conduct.
Machiavellianism, usually known as a political hypothesis, has been
conceptualized in behavioral morals examine as an identity build or
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:
Research Methodology This section provides insights about the methodology
used to conduct this research. The discussion describes the methodology
used for this study under the headings of research approach and design,
instrument development, population, sample, unit of analysis, time horizon,
pilot testing, data collection procedure, data analysis technique, tests for
data analysis and software used. The present research is quantitative in its
approach. The research design of the present study is hypothesis testing,
type of investigation is causal and cross sectional. The instrument used for
the data collection was a survey questionnaire containing structured closeended questions. The questionnaire had two sections. Section A comprised
of demographic information such as sector (public or private) with gender,
age, experience, education and managerial tier, section B comprised the
questions which enclosed of different items to measure responses on the
variables. All questions were adapted using the five likert scale (Likert,
1967), form ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Table 1
Measures Variable Population of the study was the employees from banking
sector of Pakistan. The sample size of the study included workers of Telecom
industry from IslamabadThe sampling strategy used for this study is
convenience sampling technique. Unit of analysis for this study is individual
analysis that includes the employees of telecom sector. A pilot test of 30-50
respondents was conducted from the employees. The result of pilot test
indicated that all the items of the instrument were reliable with ( > 0.600)
showing high level of internal consistency for all variables (Nunnally, 1978).
Structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. The
questionnaire was distributed to the employees of banking sector (faysal
bank) in Islamabad. A total number of 356 questionnaires were distributed
out of which 300 were returned back with a response rate of 75%. The tests
used in this study were descriptive, correlation and regression analysis.
Baron and Kenny (1986) discussed a four step regression analysis to
determine the mediating and moderating effect of variables, these steps
have been undertaken in order to find the mediating and moderating role of
the variable. SPSS version 20 is used to perform these tests. It had been
ensured that the respect and dignity of all research respondents must be

sample, Kish-Gephart and partners (2010, p. 23) noticed that the vast
majority of the studies included in their metaanalysis "researched just direct
connections between a proposed determinant and unscrupulous decisions,"
and O'Fallon and Butterfield (2005) found that just 20 (out of 384) studies
included in their audit of the moral choice making writing inspected
mediators. Hence, there is a requirement for more experimental exploration
that investigates the relevant conditions that direct individual distinction
impacts, especially the part of situational quality. Our investigation
recommends that, notwithstanding acting as a mediator variable, situational
quality may intercede the connections between the relevant impacts and
pioneers' affinity to participate in dependable conduct. For instance, an
institutional environment where partner rights are ensured, vigorous
corporate administration structures exist, furthermore, laws and regulations
are stringently implemented makes a mentally solid circumstance that
possible advances capable administration conduct. This is genuine
particularly when pioneers work inside of the imperatives forced by an
association with obvious models for moral behavior, have a corporate society
that advances and supports capable conduct, and establish execution
administration furthermore, compensate frameworks that hold
administrators responsible for their choices and activities. In such
circumstances, pioneers don't just have less open door to "do hurt," yet they
additionally have more motivations to "do great." Paradoxically, however, our
examination recommends that in such a situation, there may additionally be
less requirement for pioneers to do great or to dodge hurt, on the grounds
that settled part desires, principles, approaches, and techniques can work as
a substitute for mindful pioneer conduct. Future exploration ought to test the
arranging structure propelled in this paper and set up its relevance to the
universal connection. Globalization has brought social and natural concerns
to administration's plan, and more and more supervisors work in a worldwide
domain. It is settled that when universal supervisors take part in deceptive or
illicit exercises outside their nations of origin it is regularly on the grounds
that they follow to an innocent type of social relativism of the "when in Rome
. . ." kind (Stahl et al., 2013). The peril is 2014 Stahl and Sully de Luque 247
especially intense in situations where nearby guidelines (e.g., natural and
wellbeing measures) are extensively less stringent than the principles in the
home nation. Such a situation, consolidated with a deficient and wrong
comprehension of the nearby connection, makes a mentally frail
circumstance that conceivable advances flippant conduct. We suggest that
the build of situational quality is of significant heuristic esteem in
comprehension the moral problems confronting supervisors in the worldwide
enclosure and how they adapt to those problems. Identified with the past
point, with a couple of remarkable special cases, existing research on
behavioral morals has been socially visually impaired, in that studies have
generally disregarded the impact of the national social environment on
socially capable conduct. As noted by Vickers (2005), "worldwide
partnerships work in countries where renumeration, sexual provocation,
racial separation, and a mixture of different issues are not consistently seen
as unlawful or indeed, even exploitative" (p. 30). This not just infers that it is
hard to unmistakably and unambiguously characterize dependable conduct
for a director in a given social setting, additionally implies that supervisors
workingin the worldwide coliseum need to take these distinctions into record
and parity worldwide and neighborhood contemplations in settling on
dependable choices (Donaldson, 1996). To further propel our
comprehensionof the initiative difficulties confronting administrators of
worldwide organizations, we require a more modernconceptualization of
"capable authority" that is pertinent to every social gathering and an
extensive variety of partners, and also research plans that permit scientists
to study the predecessors of dependable also, flighty pioneer conduct
crosswise over diverse nature.
CONCLUSION:
The advantages of mindful initiative to society, also, the harm caused by
administration unfortunate behavior, make it vital to build up structures for
future exploration. Our contentions that individual-level and context oriented
elements consolidate what's more, cooperate to impact capable pioneer
conduct are key segments of our proposed system. Most outstandingly, the
vital part of the administration choice making environment situational
quality conservatives the relationship between individual-level components
and a pioneer's affinity to take part in "do great" and "evadehurt" conduct. It
is our aim that this system will help others to further examinethe systems
impacting dependable administration,which thusly may develop pioneers
with an introduction toward obligation.
