“…The service sector faced complete closure because of direct human contact and the rules of social distancing [7], especially tourism, health, media and entertainment, and transport industries [8]. In these sectors, employees are at more risk of contracting coronavirus because they have to interact with customers directly and come in direct or indirect contact with many customers, or they must manage items used or touched by the consumers [9]. Along with this fear of the virus, employees of different sectors faced various issues related to reduced salary or job loss.…”

The performance of the employees and productivity of each individual, in general, have been badly affected because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizational citizenship behavior is regarded as an interpretation of the performance of the employee which is essential to contribute more to the organization’s processes and success. Therefore, to increase the organizational effectiveness and achieve its goals, it is crucial to understand the factors affecting the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees. This study aims to examine the impact of perceived organizational support on organizational citizenship behavior with the mediating role of employee engagement and affective commitment. To collect the data for this study, a linear snowball sampling method was used, and 380 foreign employees working in different service companies in Hungary participated in the survey. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed hypothesis. The results of the study revealed that perceived organizational support positively associated with organizational citizenship behavior and this relationship is also strongly mediated by employee engagement. On the other hand, employee engagement and affective commitment pose a direct positive influence on organizational citizenship behavior. This study has theoretical and practical implications as it will provide a comprehensive framework to better understand the factors influencing the organizational citizenship behavior of the employees.

“…During the early stages of the pandemic, Daraba et al (2021) found that employees needed support from their leaders to secure and restore their psychological resources. Typical for the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic was that many employees and their managers had to work from home (WFH), and according to Daraba et al (2021) working from home brought changes to employee's work life, including how they perceived leadership. For those who previously did not work from home, this was a change of organizational context, where the interactions between leaders and followers become different as tasks and interactions were performed digitally (Daraba et al 2021).…”

Thus, because of this organizational change, at the early stages of the pandemic we can assume that the leadership in media companies where employees worked from home was transformed, at least temporarily.…”

In contrast to the majority of European countries, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Swedish authorities did not put the country in lockdown, but mainly presented relatively mild recommendations to work from home and not gather in groups of over 50 persons. Thus, much of the decision-making and restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus had to occur at the organizational level, i.e., within companies. This paper reports the findings from an online survey carried out in June-September 2020 (n = 196), in which Swedish media managers were asked to focus on perceived media leadership during the COVID-19 crisis. The results indicate that Swedish media managers acted with confidence in their remote leadership and engaged in crisis management leader tasks in line with previous crisis management research. While managers learned to appreciate remote work, they stressed the difficulty of being an inspiring leader in a remote setting and the challenge of motivating creativity, one of the most important components in managing journalism and media work.
