“…To some extent, the results contradict Blind et al (2022) because they confirm that scientific publishing in Ukraine is mainly driven by career rewards but not intrinsic satisfaction. Meanwhile, for some scientists, the war opened new publishing opportunities.…”

This paper highlights war effects on publication activities and scientific interests of Ukrainian researchers. Moreover, it presents the moods and motives of Ukrainian scientists regarding their scientific activity and the publication of their results in academic journals. The research method was a survey (Google Forms) distributed through Facebook professional groups “Ukrainian Scientists Worldwide,” “Ukrainian cuisine of scientific publications,” “Scientific Conferences and Publications,” and “Higher School and Science of Ukraine: Disintegration or Blossoming?” 690 Ukrainian scientists took part in the survey. Only 35.7% of the respondents stated that the war did not affect their research process. Results from respondents demonstrated that 27.7% of the respondents changed their scientific interests because of full-scale Russian aggression. Furthermore, scientists have psychological problems due to the loss of home, relatives, and relocation. The survey showed that motivation for publishing scientific articles varies from informing colleagues of their scientific results, scientific interest to motives distant from scientific values – “fulfillment of the requirements of the institution where I work,” “I do not want to be fired,” etc. 20.0% of the respondents noted that they had not got any motivation for scientific activity and publishing. At the same time, most scientists consider state security, debunking the propaganda of the Russian Federation, economic development, military medicine, ecology, education, social sphere, and agriculture to be the leading research areas. They also see the need to raise public awareness of the role of science and synchronize current multidisciplinary scientific research.

“…Enlisting new resources that enable one to overcome unexpected and unexpected challenges and traumas in career development is seen as critical to achieving favorable career outcomes (Hall, 2004). Moreover, the primary motivating factor for scientists is internal satisfaction with their research results (Blind et al, 2018(Blind et al, , 2022.…”

This study aims to assess how to prevent the loss of academic potential due to the full-scale war unleashed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine. The paper establishes the relationship between the location of Ukrainian researchers and their ability to engage in scientific activity and determines the factors that decrease scientific efficiency during the war. Moreover, it identifies the influence of the scientists’ place of residence on their scientific efficiency. The sample comprises 172 lecturers from Berdyansk State Pedagogical University, Ukraine. This university was chosen because it was located in the temporarily occupied territory at the beginning of the war and later was relocated to another city. 40.8% of respondents who left the temporarily occupied territory for the Ukraine-controlled territories noted a decrease in the effectiveness of their scientific activities. Furthermore, 33.8% could not think about science at all. The most challenging situation is for those who went abroad: 55.6% show decreased scientific activity, and 27.7% note its complete absence. The most significant reasons that prevent scientific activity are financial instability, lack of access to equipment, loss of relevance of previously started research, inability to concentrate on science, poor quality or lack of Internet, and adaptation to a new residence.

“…A firm participating in standards development organizations (SDOs) can increase its competitiveness by actively influencing standards towards its own preferred specializations or by passively gaining knowledge from the standardization process (Blind & Mangelsdorf, 2016). Participation in standardization improves companies' economic performance, as well as standards contribute to long-run economic growth (Blind et al, 2022) leading to sustainable development. It is important to mention that any new proposal for an international or European standard requires to link it with a sustainability goal.…”

Digital transformation must be a part of sustainable leadership since it continues to be at the forefront of sustainability. Organizational culture, which is unique in that it unites the efforts of all members and is based on human, emotional, and cultural values, is purposefully upheld by management of the business in order to achieve the organization's goals. The ability to produce, transfer, and utilize knowledge resources is essential to an organization's existence and success. Knowledge is an immeasurable asset and knowledge management techniques can promote innovative processes and achieve long-term company success by generating fresh ideas. Thus, knowledge management will accelerate the business's ability to maintain performance, particularly if it is carried out through digitalization and in a favorable organizational setting. This paper's premise is the recognition of significant works that investigate how organizational culture, knowledge management, and digitalization influence sustainable leadership. A future leader oriented towards sustainability should concentrate on three key areas: digitalization, knowledge management, and organizational culture, according to an assessment of a series of articles on leadership and sustainable development. Because of this, the research team decided to divide the results and discussions section into three chapters, each of which will focus on a different aspect of the future leader's focus, such as organizational culture or people, knowledge management and innovation, as well as digitalization and its effects. We hope that this work will be helpful to anyone who are interested in the subject and that it will serve as a starting point for further research.
