The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the Nonprofit Organization's (NPO) competencies and leadership in a crisis situation, specifically in the Portuguese NPOs during COVID-19. Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this article integrates crisis management literature with leadership literature. Highlighting the leadership perspective of both intermediate employees (technical director) and top management (executive director), this research aims to advance knowledge on the main organizational leadership competencies that NPOs need to have to better cope with crises. One hundred and seventy-four (174) NPOs representatives voluntarily participated in the study which involved a survey questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale for 23 items included in the questionnaire. Principal component analysis using varimax rotation was applied to reduce the number of variables. Reliability tests were performed to assess the items included in the questionnaire. Tests included test-retest reliability, Cronbach alpha, and split-half reliability coefficients. Results show that the most important factors that improve the capability of a NPO to cope with a crisis are: respond to all stakeholders through accountability, plan based on identification of vulnerabilities, and build a foundation of trust through communication. Additionally, it is possible to suggest that staff and top management perceive crisis and leadership competencies differently. It is possible to conclude, that these factors can be used as important lines of action to structure the sustainable development and planning of NPOs' strategies of other similar crisis to come in the future. Findings, the implications of this work, and avenues for future NPOs crisis management and leadership research are addressed.

Recognizing that high levels of social intelligence are required for effective engagement, the authors set out to find the association between employee engagement and social intelligence. Specifically, the goal of this study was to find the explanatory value of social intelligence constructs for employee engagement in a sample of employees by conducting a statistical analysis. The final research included 150 male and 50 female professionals who were selected from FMCG sectors. A questionnaire was used to gather socio-demographic evidence; the Utrecht engagement scale and the Tromso social intelligence scale in the Indian cultural context were used to obtain professional and job information. The findings revealed that employees with high levels of social intelligence scores performed well on engagement measures, with social skills being the most significant predictor of engagement. The findings of this study have substantial practical significance for the development of training and intervention activities targeted at improving employees' performance on the job, among other things.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, society has undergone significant changes with implications for employee values and job satisfaction. As a reflection of social needs, corporate social practice is also changing compared to before the pandemic. This paper examines the perception of corporate social practices by personnel and their impact on staff satisfaction. The empirical study carried out in the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan allowed the authors to identify social practices that influence the level of personnel satisfaction with professional activity before and after the pandemic. The research determined general tendencies and differences in the perception of social practices with the most significant personnel satisfaction in the period before and after the pandemic. The authors also developed recommendations that should be taken into account when forming corporate social practices. The study's novelty is the investigation of an empirical relationship between the levels of satisfaction with professional activity and implemented social practices in the period before and after the pandemic. The research found that the tendencies in Russia and Kazakhstan are similar to the global trends. Employees before the pandemic were highly satisfied with their activities and corporate social responsibility practices. After the pandemic, when society is disconnected and individualized, employees are focused on material security, and social practices have no significant influence on staff satisfaction. The paper offers recommendations for companies to implement appropriate social practices for the common interests of employers and staff.

Dialogical leadership is believed to be the most applicable leadership style in battling wicked issues. While the positive effect of dialogical leadership is inevitable, there are inadequate literature findings that evaluate the factors influencing its positive outcomes in an organizational setting. This research presents a theoretical and applied framework that tests the mediating role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between dialogical leadership and organizational brilliance. Survey data were collected from 110 managers of Al-Rasheed Bank in Baghdad, Iraq. The hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis. The results support positive associations between dialogical leadership and organizational brilliance and the effect of psychological empowerment on dialogical leadership and organizational brilliance. In addition, the results supported the mediation hypothesis. Based on the results, recommendations were formulated highlighting the necessary administrative practices leading to organizational brilliance in banking institutions in Iraq. It highlights the necessity of adequately helping and supporting bank managers who present new ideas that contribute to the development of the bank.

The primary aim of the current study is to identify the effect of chameleon leadership behaviors on the innovative behavior of staff in the health sector in the Sultanate of Oman, and examining if job security plays a mediating role in the relationship between chameleon leadership and innovative behavior. Data were collected using a questionnaire consisting of 282 employees working in healthcare organizations in Oman. The PLS-SEM methodology was performed used to test the proposed hypotheses. The results indicated that chameleon leadership behaviors (external control, and relativistic beliefs) have no effect on innovative behavior but have a positive effect of external control on job security. Moreover, job security has a direct positive impact on innovative behavior. In addition, the results showed that job security is not a factor in the relationship between chameleon leadership behaviors and innovative behavior. The study contributes to providing a deferent perspective to explore the behaviors of chameleon leadership in the Omani health sector to provide security and accelerating innovative systems to support a stable work environment.
