Abstract: The concept of Responsible Leadership (RL) has become a growing area of interest in business research. RL is based on interrelationship between companies and external stakeholders that integrates values and ethics to achieve common goals. Socially responsible leadership plays an important role in influencing the organizational ethical environment, and the transparency of leaders' relationships also plays an important role in influencing the ethical environment. This paper presents a full image and framework with dimensions for RL that has previously been examined, tested, and presented in the literature. This study used a mixed method of research design, namely convergent parallel design. The main finding of this study is that the main dimensions for RL are Personal, Followers, Organizational, and Community dimensions. In addition, this research has taken into consideration the perceived ones of responsible leadership — distributive and interactional — on the four level dimensions discussed here. Subsequently, further analysis, limitations, and recommendations for future research were discussed, and the study's academic and practical impact was presented.
