Building Resilience in a Crisis Through Boards – Exploring the Mediating Effect of Board Behavior
The present study examines two board behaviors, their antecedents and their consequences in the COVID‐19 crisis. The two behaviors are (1) board involvement in crisis management planning and (2) board creative effort in finding solutions. The antecedents are board expertise and cognitive diversity. The consequence is firm resilience. The study builds its theoretical argument using the classical and refined upper echelons theory, stating that the …
Diversified boards and the achievement of environmental, social, and governance goals
We explore the impact of board resources arising from diverse board members on the achievement of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Employing resource dependence theory as our frame and drawing on qualitative data from 41 interviews with board directors of publicly traded and privately held companies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), we identify three key mechanisms underpinning the achievement of ESG goals, namely, the leveragi…
Strengthening the Democratic Project
Studies show that citizen dissatisfaction with democracy is on the rise. Equally, trust in public institutions is on the decline, but despite this, citizens desire to shape the future of society is growing. The contribution of this paper is three-fold. First, the varying interpretations of democracy are scrutinised in order to surface the nature of scrutinized liberal democracy. Second, the negative impacts of democracy cycles are highlighted as …
An integrative ethical approach to leader favoritism
Relationship building is one of the most important aspects of leadership; however, it can pose ethical challenges. Though particularistic treatment of employees by leaders, that is, leader favoritism, commonly occurs, it is conventionally regarded negatively as fairness norms require leaders to treat followers equally. In this conceptual study, we explore different views on leader favoritism based on different ethical principles. We develop an al…
Socio-ecological resilience and environmental sustainability
Natural science impact assessments of sustainability evidence more closely than social and business studies frameworks that the interdependent planetary boundary (PB) limits are being breached. This brings to attention environmental ecological assessments are better placed as the starting point to inform how human action or inaction as socio-economic behaviours can influence environmental management resilience, rather than the other way around. T…

Female board directors' resilience against gender discrimination
Despite regulatory efforts to promote gender diversity on boards, women are still severely underrepresented in board leadership in the UK, beyond FTSE 100 companies. Evidence suggests that women, when poorly represented in the workplace, are more likely to suffer discrimination. In this study, we report the first‐hand experiences of gender discrimination suffered by female directors and present the process of how they build resilience through dev…
SpAds
This paper examines how opinion-shaping political and civil service stakeholders view the role and contribution of Special Political Advisers (SpAds) within the Westminster system of government. The literature only recently paid considered attention to this role, partly due to the recent reforms that spawned the emergence of SpAds, but also because political advisers still only represent a small population within the government community. It is a…

Mitigating the Davos dilemma
The ‘Davos dilemma’ posits a sustainability crisis, provoked by rising human population and intense competitive behaviours, in terms of control and access to depleting natural resources. More broadly understood as an ecological problem, rather than just socio-economic behavioural deficiencies, the call is for better integrated social, natural and business-indexed reporting within planetary boundaries. This poses challenges for nationally governed…
Public–private partnerships in Russia
Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are new in Russia and represent project implementation in progress. The government is actively pursuing PPP deployment in sectors such as transportation and urban infrastructure, and at all levels including federal, regional and especially local. Despite the lack of pertinent laws and regulations, the PPP public policy quickly transforms into a policy paradigm that provides simplified concepts and solutions and …
Risk allocation in a public–private partnership
In Kazakhstan, a transitional nation in Central Asia, the development of public–private partnerships (PPPs) is at its early stage and increasingly of strategic importance. This case study investigates risk allocation in an ongoing project: the construction and operation of 11 kindergartens in the city of Karaganda in the concession form for 14 years. Drawing on a conceptual framework of effective risk allocation, the study identifies principal PP…

What next for children's services? Can policy at a local or national level have any significant impact on the outcomes for children and their families
In England at both strategic and operational levels, policy-makers in the public sector have undertaken considerable work on implementing the findings of the Every Child Matters report and subsequently through the Children's Act 2004. Legislation has resulted in many local authorities seeking to implement more holistic approaches to the delivery of children's services. At a strategic level this is demonstrated by the creation of integrated direct…

Calling on Jefferson
Aimed at reinforcing the democratic values of freedom of speech and increased diversity in civic access to the means of communication, this paper examines the concept of democracy within an information and communication technology-mediated context. Discussion proceeds with an analysis of orthodox views adopted by Jefferson and the architects of the American Constitution. Building on the Jeffersonian tradition, a critique is presented of present-d…

The framework is to be applied to increase understanding of how realised strategies evolved in the pharmaceutical industry and overcomes some of the limitations of other methods.

Perils of religion
On both sides of the Atlantic, there is increased professional concern over roles in international public sector management—whether those of the policy makers, administrators or consultants. Growing numbers across many sectors feel an unprecedented crisis of identity and integrity. In international development, institutions often find themselves subordinated to the military in ever increasing conflict situations (the ‘development‐security complex…
Developing a leadership cadre for the 21st century
The UK civil service has experienced considerable challenges in introducing new ways of working as well as alternative organizational designs, both for the purposes of achieving ‘best value’ during the last two decades of the last century. In addition to the strategic changes introduced, people development and training has been equally vigorously pursued in order to facilitate the reconfigurations that have been implemented. This article presents…
Intimacy
The authors report the findings from an international survey of over 200 people into intimacy at work, which shows that for many, intimacy at work is not a problem as long as it is handled well. They look at the possible interventions in managing the impact of intimacy at work and find that it is difficult to effectively regulate such a personal area, guidelines for managers need to be specific to the organisation to reflect the culture
Reinventing the Democratic Governance Project through Information Technology? A Growing Agenda for Debate
Postindustrial societies have arrived at a moment of immense democratic and entrepreneurial opportunities that has been made possible by information technology. At the same time, however, these opportunities pose potential threats if they are not debated and planned for in consensually–legitimate ways. This article examines the current problems of representative democracy and the impact of information technology on the current and future quality …
Developing Reflexive Practitioners through Collaborative Inquiry
This article examines how a collaborative inquiry (ci) intervention has been effectively used to enhance change within central government organizations. The experience and learning from a 15-month ci process with a group of 12 senior managers from various departments/agencies within the UK civil service, is presented. The purpose of the inquiry was to assist public servants to meaningfully promote the ‘Modernizing Government’ agenda. Various part…
