Purpose: The purpose of this article is to explore the role of responsible leadership in mitigating the brain drain syndrome in Nigerian healthcare service organizations. It aims to provide a conceptual model that highlights the need for responsible leadership and its impact on employee and social well-being. Design/methodology/approach: The article is based on a review of existing literature on responsible leadership, employee well-being, and social well-being in the context of healthcare service organizations. It incorporates and analyses studies that examine the causes and consequences of the brain drain syndrome and proposes responsible leadership as a solution. The conceptual model is developed by extending the role of responsible leadership and its relationship with employee and social well-being. Findings: The findings suggest that responsible leadership can positively influence organizational citizenship behaviour, innovative behaviour, commitment, job satisfaction, and overall wellbeing of medical personnel. The brain drain syndrome negatively affects employee wellbeing and social wellbeing in healthcare service organizations. The proposed conceptual model highlights the importance of responsible leadership in addressing the brain drain syndrome and promoting the well-being of medical personnel and society. Research limitations/implications: The article is based on a conceptual model of experiments undertaken by various scholars and their outcomes. The study is focused on the Nigerian context, and its findings may have limited generalizability to other countries or regions. Practical implications: The article emphasizes the need for healthcare service organizations to adopt responsible leadership practices to minimize the brain drain syndrome. It highlights the importance of providing employment opportunities and delivering innovative healthcare services to retain medical personnel and promote employee and social well-being. Originality/value: The article contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive conceptual model that extends the role of responsible leadership in overcoming the brain drain syndrome in healthcare service organizations. The article offers a unique perspective on the role of responsible leadership in the Nigerian healthcare context and provides insights that can be valuable for policymakers, leaders, and researchers.
