Purpose: Researchers point out the need to move away from examining the positive trend of corporate social responsibility (Corporate Social Responsibility - CSR) towards a critical verification and redefinition of the leading CSR assumptions. One of the current and essential research issues is Corporate Social Irresponsibility (CSI). The paper aims to identify socially irresponsible actions in the economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic areas toward stakeholders in relation to business size. Design/methodology/approach: Empirical quantitative research was conducted. The research tool was a survey questionnaire, and the research method used was CAWI. The surveyed sample included 650 randomly selected enterprises of various sizes operating in Poland. The following research questions were asked: RQ1: In what areas (economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic) do socially irresponsible actions most often occur? RQ2: In what areas (economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic) do socially irresponsible actions towards internal (RQ2a) and external (RQ2b) stakeholders most often occur? RQ3: What are the differences in identified socially irresponsible actions in areas (economic, legal, ethical, philanthropic) depending on the size of the company? RQ4: What is the relationship between the size of the surveyed organizations and the frequency of socially irresponsible actions in various areas (economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic) in general, about internal and external stakeholders in the surveyed enterprises? Findings: The research has shown that in the studied population of enterprises, their size does not determine the occurrence of socially irresponsible economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic activities towards their stakeholders. Research limitations/implications: The main limitations of these studies include: subjective perceptions of frequency, limited control variables, lack of prospective longitudinal studies to demonstrate changes in the prevalence of socially irresponsible actions over time. Practical implications: The results of the empirical research and its conclusions can guide managers of enterprises regarding the avoidance of socially irresponsible actions towards stakeholders. Social implications: The article addresses an important social problem of building a basis for assessing the socially irresponsible actions of companies. The research is one of the first stages in the development of the CSI assessment methodology. Originality/value: This article pretends to fill an important research gap in the topic in question. The originality of the considerations stems from the pioneering nature of research into corporate social irresponsibility from a size perspective.

Purpose: The article aims to identify the current state of knowledge about coaching in organizations by conducting a bibliometric analysis of publications in this area. Design/methodology/approach: In the article, a partial bibliometric analysis of the research area of coaching in organizations was carried out using co-word analysis and cluster analysis techniques to identify the current state of knowledge. The data was analyzed using the Scopus bibliometric database and the VOSviewer program. Findings: The analyses indicated that the fundamental research topics discussed are leadership, mentoring, executive coaching, management development, and leadership development. It was identified that the initial interests of coaching researchers focused on organizational changes. The latest research topics are micro-coaching and the use of AI in coaching. Research limitations/implications: Further research should complement and extend the bibliometric analysis with other relational techniques, i.e., co-citation analysis, co-authorship analysis, bibliographic coupling, and direct citation analysis. A critical literature review should be conducted after a full bibliometric review of the publication on coaching in organizations. In subsequent studies, the analysis can also be extended to include publications in the field of social sciences. Originality/value: In the day of searching the SCOPUS database, no bibliometric review from this area was noticed. The analysis provides an opportunity to deepen further research and partially highlight research gaps in this area. This is particularly important among national authors due to the small number of publications from this area affiliated with Polish institutions.
