Furthermore, the authors adapt scales to measure these practices and conduct a pilot study to evaluate their impact on business performance in such establishments. Design/methodology/approach – Exploratory sequential mixed methods are used to fulfill the research aims. In the first phase, a set of definitions and practices associated with RL are derived from a systematic literature review. Second, a projective method of data collection is applied, involving a panel of 16 experts. Third, a fuzzy cognitive map is developed, which captures the responses of 40 owners or general managers of SME restaurants. Findings – Twenty-five practices are identified from the systematic literature review. The results show the five leadership practices that match the order of importance assigned by the experts: societal orientation.}, organization = {FEDER/Junta de Andalucía-Consejería de Transformación Económica, Industria, Conocimiento y Universidades/Project CV20-09357; PID2019-110941RB-I00/ SRA (State Research Agency/10.13039/501100011033); and the Erasmus Plus program, European Union.}, publisher = {Emerald}, title = {Identifying core “responsible leadership” practices for SME restaurants}, doi = {10.1108/IJCHM-09-2021-1194}, author = {Castañeda García, José Alberto and Rey Pino, Juan Miguel}, }
