The aim of the paper is to investigate the relationships between the manifestations of corporate social responsibility and the intra-organisational antecedents related to leadership. The study is conducted within the context of positive organisational potential. In order to achieve the aim of the paper, the following operational objectives have been set: (1) to discuss the concepts of leadership and CSR in the theory of Positive Organisational Scholarship; (2) to identify mutual correlations between CSR and the antecedents related to leadership; (3) to assess the impact of intra-organisational factors related to leadership on CSR. The analysis is based on the findings from questionnaire surveys in companies operating in Poland and the opinions of experts expressed during the Delphi session.
