“…Professionals report many positive outcomes of working in this functional area including strong support from supervisors, connection to students, and opportunities for growth and development (Reed, 2015). But residence life staff also report challenges due to the long hours, stressful work environments, and emotionally draining responsibilities (Vaughn, 2013). While residence life positions are common steppingstones to senior leadership in student affairs (Biddix, 2011), women in senior housing officer positions report fewer advancement opportunities (Erwin & Marina, 2013).…”

Combatting racism and sexism is a daily occurrence in the professional and personal lives of African American women, including those working in higher education. The COVID-19 pandemic, which created uncertainty and stress and drastically changed how higher education operated, along with racial unrests following several highly publicized murders of Black individuals by police in the summer of 2020, and a highly contested presidential election in Fall 2020 created additional challenges. This narrative inquiry study explored the experiences of African American women who were serving as senior housing officers (i.e., directors of housing and/or residence life) at predominately White institutions during the first 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings highlight how the intersections of racism and sexism shaped the experiences of our participants. Participants encountered barriers when striving to lead authentically while feeling pressure to succeed in managing pandemic-related challenges, not only for their department but their institutions. Participants also felt compelled to serve as voices for communities of color on their campuses while dealing with racism and sexism in their everyday professional lives. These experiences forced participants to re-evaluate how they were presenting at home and at work, and even led some to question their future in the field. As housing and residence life positions often serves as an important steppingstone in the pathways of senior student affairs officers, this study can provide valuable insights into the ways in which intersections of racism and sexism disrupt the pipeline to senior student affairs positions for African American women.

“…Nielsen and Marrone [48] believed that humbleness might strengthen helpfulness among employees. Because past literature discusses a positive relation between ALM and WREN [91,92] and between ALM and SUBW [93] and because HL enhances ALM of employees, we propose the following: H6: Altruism moderates the mediated relationship between humble leadership and burnout via work engagement. H7: Altruism moderates the mediated relationship between humble leadership and burnout via subjective well-being.…”

The discussion on employee burnout (BOT) has existed in academic literature for a long time. While BOT was identified as a personal issue, there is a lack of a system approach solution. In this regard, a milestone was achieved in 2019 when the World Health Organization (WHO) introduced a new definition of BOT, recognising it as an occupational phenomenon, thereby placing a greater responsibility on organisational leadership to manage it. Since then, different leadership models have been proposed by scholars to reduce the effect of BOT in an organisation. Humble leadership (HL), as a people-first approach, has recently gained importance in organisational management literature. Studies have indicated that HL significantly influences different employee outcomes. However, research on the significance of HL to mitigate BOT of employees was scarce—similarly, on the underlying mechanisms of how and why. While HL has the potential to reduce BOT in an organisation, little or no research has studied it. Acknowledging these knowledge gaps, the basic aim of this study is to enrich the existing body of knowledge by proposing HL as an effective organisational management strategy to reduce the effect of BOT in the healthcare sector. The study introduces two mediators, work engagement (WREN) and subjective wellbeing (SUBW), to explain the underlying mechanism between HL and BOT. The conditional indirect role of altruism (ALM) was also tested. The data were obtained from hospital employees by employing a survey method (questionnaire, n = 303). Structural equation model (SEM) was considered for testing the hypothesised model to study the interrelationships between variables. The results confirmed that the manifestation of HL in an organisation reduces BOT significantly, and WREN and SUBW mediate this relationship. The study also demonstrates the buffering effect of ALM in the above-proposed relationships. The empirical findings offer multiple contributions in theory and practice, among which the most important one was to realise the profound importance of HL in reducing the effect of BOT in healthcare management.
