“…Furthermore, at the organizing stage, some activities were carried out by compiling a budget for the literacy program, determining the time and place for program implementation, collaborating with the Jawa Pos and education officers, and rotating team members. Previous researchers reported that the institution's collaboration with school residents was needed as a form of contribution to the school ( Garavaglia et al., 2021 ). Rotation or systemic rearrangement was used to offer service to students.…”

“…Consequentially, we find that COVID-19 seems to have drawn the attention toward leadership approaches that deal with change, uncertainty, and complex challenges, such as adaptive and agile leadership. We find them, for example, in clusters on public leadership (cluster 2—e.g., Garavaglia et al, 2021 ; Janssen and van der Voort, 2020 ) and educational leadership (cluster 5— Fernandez and Shaw, 2020 ). Situated within contingency theory approaches ( Dinh et al, 2014 ), adaptive leadership is reactive in “changing behavior in appropriate ways as the situation changes” ( Yukl & Mahsud, 2010 , p. 81), while agile leaders are more proactive by keeping in mind different scenarios, daring to experiment, dealing with paradox, and learning from failure ( Parker et al, 2015 ).…”

“…In the public sector, more agile and adaptive leadership seems necessary to be more responsive in crises when confronted with unwieldy organizational structures (cluster 2e.g. Garavaglia et al, 2021;Janssen and van der Voort, 2020). In the health care sector, participative and shared leadership appear as apt responses to share some of the responsibilities and decision-making in light of patient rushes (cluster 3-e.g., Huang et al, 2020;Newell, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented challenges for society. The effects on organizations have been drastic and such tough times have demanded new organizational solutions as well as strong and new forms of organizational leadership. Leadership scholars have accelerated their research efforts in the quest to identify what is needed to lead in these uncertain times. In this paper, we adopt a bibliometric review to unravel the emerging trends in leadership research in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and in doing so, identify commonalities and divergences in these themes with respect to leadership approaches and assess potential avenues for future research. The findings reveal that research on the topic has emerged along six main clusters: (1) leadership and employee health during pandemic times, (2) public leadership, (3) leadership in health care, (4) leadership and diversity, (5) educational leadership, and (6) leadership and persuasive communication. The findings reveal that across these clusters, the pandemic has sparked research on leadership approaches that deal with change and uncertainty as well as those that are less hierarchical and person centered in nature. We also notice a novel attention to context. Rather than “new kids on the block,” these trends are largely continuations of established leadership theories and approaches that see their particular importance increase in this unprecedented situation. Finally, we outline some distinct avenues for further research with regard to leadership in COVID-19 times.

“…Third, while firms are the key actors of resilience for the 2008 financial crisis, but the actors under COVID-19 are much diverse in type. Regional economies under COVID-19 are extraordinarily sensitive to the role of state agency and governance in containing the pandemic (also inevitably damaging the economy) and restoring the social-economic order afterwards ( Asongu et al, 2020 ; Garavaglia et al, 2020 ). A shared recognition in the COVID-19 literature is that the ways in which the governance (particularly the efficacy of state responses and measures) to the COVID-19 matters most the geographies of crisis impacts and consequence ( He et al, 2020 ).…”

This paper examines how the economies of old industrial cities in Northeast China respond to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The notion of resistance in regional economic resilience is used to explore what impact factors shape the response to the early stage of the crisis. The analysis reveals significant differences in terms of regional economic impact between COVID-19 and the 2008 financial crisis. We find that large cities are more vulnerable and exposed to the pandemic at its early stage, state agency plays a crucial role in shaping the economic resistance in most cities. Going beyond the existing 2008 financial crisis-induced account on regional economic resilience, this paper argues that regional resistance amid COVID-19 is not merely shaped by economic structural factors but also influenced by state agency in terms of economic restriction and restoration measures. The study suggests that the nature of COVID-19 as a particular context of crisis itself needs to be taken seriously when exploring the determinants and outcomes of regional economic resilience.
