“…It is important to note that chaos theory can adequately explain servant leadership and its effectiveness. Decentralization, differentiation of tasks, collaboration, flexibility and adaptability of structures and processes, participation, and autonomy are among the key aspects that have been mentioned as linkages between the two concepts [19]. Accordingly, characteristics of servant leaders can be explained through chaos theory [3], which appropriately contextualizes this style of leadership in this study, which regards effective leaders during crisis and chaotic times (i.e., COVID-19 pandemic).…”

Servant leadership is a style that is considered to be ethical, positive, and desirable due to its compatibility with an array of situations. Moreover, work engagement is a key factor that can have positive short- and long-term outcomes for organizations. This research focuses on the role of servant leaders and their effects on employees’ work engagement in an academic setting. Furthermore, the role of trust as a mediator is analyzed to shed light upon its effect after the pandemic of COVID-19. As the academic sector has faced an abrupt shift to online formats, this study emphasizes on the role of leaders in fostering wellbeing for academic staff. This research emphasizes trust and work engagement as important elements for achieving positive employee outcomes within the context of sustainable psychology as a scientific domain. Through a specified approach, a sample of 138 people was collected from various faculty members and analyzed by SmartPLS. Results suggest a strong role played by servant leaders in improving the work engagement of their staff. Similarly, the mediating role of trust in a leader is statistically significant, implying its vitality for improving work engagement in an academic setting. These results can be beneficial for researchers (leadership and organizational psychology) and practitioners in the education sector.

“…2.1.6 Phase 6: community based approaches. Emanating from the previous phase of resilience and complexity, the role of disaster management has become understood as more of a central node in bigger network distributing/sharing/disseminating information and resources about disasters and less of a central authority or a centralized mechanism (Kurtz and Snowden, 2003;Wheatley, 2006). This view was a primary factor for triggering a call for community-based approaches to disaster management during the late 1990s and early 2000s (Kessler, 2006).…”

Purpose This study aims at investigating the evolution of disaster management by identifying the different phases it has gone through over time, and laying a ground for the next generation of disaster studies that focus on value-creating and value-adding activities. Design/methodology/approach An extensive review of the existing literature was made to develop an understanding of the evolution of disaster management. This study does not aim at assessing the tools or techniques used; rather it aims at identifying the major developments that took place over time. Findings Disaster management is a dynamic process. It has encountered/experienced different evolutionary phases that indicate that it has been developing over time. It continues to evolve until today as long as disasters occur. The nature and complexity of disasters are also changing. Most importantly, what seemed to be a practical approach for managing disasters yesterday might not fit for the use of today or tomorrow. Practical implications Understanding the evolution of disaster management mirrors the evolution of mankind and the ways people survived major incidents. As life itself evolves, disasters will continue to evolve which subsequently triggers the need for broader management insight to cope with. Originality/value This study traces the evolution of disaster management and the development of research and practice in this field over time. The existing literature rarely addresses the uniqueness of individual disasters and the need to treat them differently even the recurrent ones. To the best of the author’s knowledge, there is no single study that attempted to capture the evolution of disaster management during the 20th century until today. This study aims to achieve this goal.

I recently taught a module on the philosophies of evaluation as part of a pilot introductory course of a new diploma programme jointly sponsored by the United Nations (UN) Evaluation Group and the United Nations Staff College (Russon, 2007, November). In the session, I compared and contrasted the “rationalistic” paradigm with the “naturalistic” paradigm on the basis of ontology, epistemology, and methodology.
