Abstract

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the leadership in organizations of all sizes, industries, and geographic areas. Although substantive literature exists on leadership during a crisis, less attention has been paid to regional leadership and leaders’ response during a crisis. The critical roles that regional organizations such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the European Union (EU) play in a crisis call for a better understanding of how these organizations and their leaders respond to regional crises. This paper provides a comparative insight into regional leaders’ crisis leadership and communication approaches in ASEAN and the EU during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. We describe the response timelines of the two regional organizations and highlight the significant roles of regional leaders in coordinating and implementing regional responses during a crisis, including providing consistent communication and collective leadership to facilitate cooperation, solidarity, and efforts towards recovery. We provide implications for HRD research and practice, specifically around the role of regional leaders in creating and implementing Regional HRD mechanisms in response to crises.

2019冠状病毒病期间的危机领导力:东盟和欧盟区域领导人的应对

2019冠状病毒病大流行考验了各种规模、行业和地理区域的组织的领导力。尽管存在大量关于危机中的领导力的文献，但对危机中的区域领导力和领导者反应的关注较少。东南亚国家联盟(ASEAN)和欧盟(EU)等区域组织在危机中发挥的关键作用要求我们更好地了解这些组织及其领导人如何应对地区危机。本文对2020年新冠肺炎大流行期间东盟和欧盟地区领导人的危机领导力和沟通方式进行了比较分析。我们描述了两个区域组织的应对时间表，强调了区域领导人在危机期间协调和实施区域应对措施方面的重要作用，包括提供持续的沟通和集体领导，以促进合作、团结和努力恢复。我们为人力资源开发研究和实践提供了启示，特别是围绕区域领导人在创建和实施区域人力资源开发机制以应对危机方面的作用。

期刊介绍： Human Resource Development International promotes all aspects of practice and research that explore issues of individual, group and organisational learning and performance. In adopting this perspective Human Resource Development International is committed to questioning the divide between practice and theory; between the practitioner and the academic; and between traditional and experimental methodological approaches. Human Resource Development International is committed to a wide understanding of ''organisation'' - one that extends through self-managed teams, voluntary work, or family businesses to global enterprises and bureaucracies. Human Resource Development International also commits itself to exploring the development of organisations and the life-long learning of people and their collectivity (organisation), their strategy and their policy, from all parts of the world. In this way Human Resource Development International will become a leading forum for debate and exploration of the interdisciplinary field of human resource development.
