... While the time in service may be brief and well-defined, it can also be more open-ended and indefinite. Generally, service can last anywhere from less than three months to over three years (Liang et al., 2012), whereas Fisher et al. (2024) found interim service to last from a few weeks to more than a year. Ballinger and Marcel (2010) found an average service of 195 days (6.5 months), while a 2020 survey by Interimexecs found 8.5 months was the average (https://interimexecs.com/interim-executive-survey-2020/) ...

Findings and practical guidelines for interim leaders

... Servant leadership is a style that focuses on the primary role of the leaders as a servant to an organization. Servant leadership is characterized by principles of other-centeredness, emphasizing service to others over personal power and control (Beehner, 2020;Robinson, Neubert, & Miller, 2018;Wong, Sendjaya, Wilson, & Rixon, 2023;Rashid et al., 2023). The concept was popularized in the public essay by Greenleaf (1970) "The Servant as Leaders", that the leaders should focus on serving and meeting the needs of others rather than the pursuit of power, personal interests, or wealth. ...

... WWOOF, aiming to connect individuals seeking worldwide volunteer opportunities on organic farms with organic farm owners, was founded in the United Kingdom in 1971 (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, n.d.). Originating as a hippie movement (Cronauer, 2012), WWOOF can also be referred to as a form of ecotourism (Pollard et al., 2023). This type, also known as volunteer tourism, is believed to have an educational aspect that fosters articipants' transformation for a better world (Deville and Wearing, 2013;Pritchard and Morgan, 2013;Sin, 2009). ...

... There are growing numbers of sojourners, immigrants or refugees across national boundaries in search of academic or professional careers or seeking political or material stability in Japan. This is due to greater economic growth since the 1980s (Gottlieb, 2005; see also Arli et al., 2023) as well as the government's immigration policy, which allows ethnic Japanese of other nationalities to work and which promotes the settlement of Chinese war orphans and refugees from South-east Asia (Kanno, 2004). At the same time, however, this multicultural tide and the diversity of the interaction in contact situations (cf. ...

... Indeed, Khan et al. (2024) found that task interdependence substitutes for SL, i.e., their functions are similar. Liu et al.'s (2021 , Table 4) study of group-level self-sacrificial leadership (a quality embedded within the definition of SL, Yang et al., 2023) showed antecedence by organizational collectivist culture. This demonstrates that a form of group-level leadership related to SL can develop from other group-level phenomena (see the online Supplement for other ideas on connecting to the group level), in this case by collectivism, a group quality which was coincidently shown by survey to be high at EA in 2018. ...

... Other authors, such as Backhaus, Reuber, Vogel, gathered data from German district offices and carried out a structural equation modeling, which reveals that PL has an effect on the levels of job satisfaction and work engagement favorably [12]. In Vietnam, it is considered that PL of public leaders are related to civil servants' public service motivation [13]. Thus, following this research flow, this study further highlights PL as a potential scheme to be adopted in public sector, which may help public employees to become innovative. ...

... We speculate that this relates to their strong and intentional desire to lead in service driven by ideas of vocation and calling. However, this is set against a potentially psychologically unsafe context for expressing leadership (see, e.g., Rixon, Wong, & Wilson, 2024;Wong, Wilson, Rixon, & Sendjaya, 2022), with repeated experiences of perceived leadership 'failure,' or-even when successful-a pervasive sense of impostorism (Kark et al., 2021). The implications of this stage are particularly salient for career development and trajectories for emerging leaders who no doubt will have to appraise their seemingly competing expectations or values as they move up the organizational hierarchy. ...

... It is imperative to note that neither the literature on abusive supervision dispersion nor that on relative abusive supervision regards abusive supervision differentiation as the variation in the average level of abusive supervision experienced by members of a workgroup (i.e., group mean abusive supervision; Peng et al., 2023;Rousseau & Aubé, 2018) or as abusive supervision climate (Cheng, 2020;Khan et al., 2021;Men et al., 2021;Priesemuth et al., 2014;Qin & Lee, 2023;Qu et al., 2023). Rather, abusive supervision differentiation is regarded as employees' perceptions of the variability in the degree of abusive supervision directed toward different group members (e.g., Ogunfowora, 2013;Ogunfowora et al., 2021;Peng et al., 2019). ...

In particular, Confucianism in Asia shapes traditional values, by means of collectivism and power distance, according to differentiated leadership research for the region (Koo et al., 2018). ...
