Abstract

The 4th International Scientific Conference on Positive Management and Leadership in Socially Responsible Organisations was held on 12 September 2019 at the Faculty of Economic Sciences and Management (FESM), Nicolaus Copernicus University (NCU) in Toruń. The aim of the conference was to provide opportunities to share research findings and discuss the avenues of further research for the scholars conducting their work in various fields of management studies from the perspective of the positive management theory (cf. Stankiewicz (Ed.), 2010, 2013). The participants were invited to contribute to discussion on the following topics, which were well grounded in previous editions of the conference (cf. Lis, 2016, 2017, 2018a):
– “positive management including: interpersonal relationships, intra-organisational communications, trust, organisational citizenship behaviours;
– leadership including: contemporary concepts of leadership, roles played by top, middle and first line managers, challenges (both external and intra-organisational) faced by leaders in business organisations, the public sector, and non-profit organisations;
– corporate responsibility to employees and other stakeholders, organisations in business environment, society and the natural environment”.
