“…Similar results have also been found in the general population, with resilience reportedly acting as a protective influence against the adverse psychological effects of pandemic stressors [53][54][55]. Improving the resilience of the self-employed is important, as it enables individuals to thrive in stressful and adverse situations, preventing negative outcomes on well-being [56]. In order to build a person's resilience, there must be adequate access to relevant resources as well as support in their surrounding environment [57].…”

Background: The self-employed are at increased risk of negative well-being outcomes when facing adversity such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Studies that examine socio-ecological factors that may protect their well-being are warranted. Methods: Data were drawn from a cross-sectional survey of European self-employed people (n = 1665). The WHO-5 Well-being Index was used to examine the impact on well-being of factors at four socio-ecological levels. Independent sample t-tests, Pearson correlations and linear regression were applied to analyse differences between groups of self-employed and interactions between variables using SPSS. Results: Well-being and the socio-ecological factors of resilience, social support, useful work and finding the rules clear were positively correlated with well-being. For self-employed who reported that it was challenging to run their business during the pandemic, social support and finding rules clear were of significantly greater importance to their well-being. Conclusions: The findings highlight that the socio-ecological factors of resilience, social support, doing useful work and finding the rules clear affect well-being. The results also indicate that it is vital to consider factors at multiple socio-ecological levels to improve the well-being of the self-employed during adversity.

“…It is known that many national and international organizations downsize to reduce costs, utilize an outsourcing strategy, adopt competitive strategies, and satisfy internal and external stakeholders. This has been one critical reason why most today's organizations have lower commitment to leadership development activities at organizational level (Rothstein and Burke, 2010). Importantly, today's organizations are no longer willing to invest in long-term training to their people, but rather they are focusing on other short-term needs (Megheirkouni, 2016a, b) because these organizations believe that their people are better to know what training they want and how to do it, if they want to develop (Moses, 1997).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand challenges facing organizations in the twenty-first century and address these challenges through suggesting future leadership development based on relevant leadership theories, which would motivate and guide future research directions in a streamlined manner. Design/methodology/approach The present study adopted the exploratory literature review, using the integrative method, to review the theoretical and empirical literature on leadership development published since the 2000s, primarily focusing on research published in the Journal of Management Development. Findings The findings of the current review confirmed that leadership theories are the base for leadership development theories, particularly if the purpose is to address and overcome the current challenges facing organizations. The authors suggest that leadership theories and leadership development theories do not exist in isolation from one another, nor do they exist in isolation from challenges facing organizations. Research limitations/implications This review does not cover all studies before the 2000s nor other journals in the field of leadership. Originality/value Given that most organizations are suffering from one or more of the following issues: sexual scandals, unethical behaviors, individualism, crises and a low level of performance or productivity, the development of particular leadership skills has become a priority. This study is one of few studies guiding both future leadership development research directions and leadership development initiatives.

“…The capacity to self-manage has been considered a fundamental requirement for empowering both individual and organisational success and is placed at the core of leadership [54,55]. According to Rothstein and Burke [55], self-management is the foundation of "introspection, choice, priority setting, change, and development" [55]. It can be seen not only in an individual's ability to adapt to changes but also in their interpersonal and collaborative skills and their self-directed capacity.…”

Vietnamese higher education has been subjected to constant pressures and major changes in the last few decades so as to meet the country's needs for socio-economic development and to better prepare graduates for employment and personal growth. There has been greater recognition for the role of mid-level academic managers as key contributors to effective institutional performance and success. However, an understanding of what constitutes a competent mid-level academic manager, who are heads of faculties, departments, academic offices and specialized centers, for the context of Vietnam is limited. This study employs an exploratory and mixed-method approach to identify the core competencies required for mid-level academic managers at Vietnamese higher education institutions. Findings from focus group discussions and a survey conclude five professional domains for effective mid-level academic management and sustainable development yet, in the meantime, reveal the gap between institutional expectations and the actual competencies of academic heads as perceived by academic heads themselves, their supervisors and their team members.
