Sustainable Strategies for Improving Humanitarian Supply Chain Management in the United Nations Using Dynamic Capability Theory

The purpose of the qualitative multiple case study was to explore the strategies some supply chain managers of the United Nations (UN) use to leverage operational efficiencies in the UN humanitarian programs. As a result, communities supporting sustainability and peace or those fostering economic development will be able to respond effectively to humanitarian crises. Moreover, the UN can remain operational and engage in political and conflict-reduction interventions integral to economic and social recovery and sustainability. This study applied the qualitative multiple case study through semi-structured interviews with nine supply chain managers in the United Nations, direct observations, document analysis, and artifacts. The research is grounded in the dynamic capability theory (DCT). The research revealed several strategies that supply chain managers of the UN use to ensure operational efficiencies grouped around three themes: (a) analytical, innovation, and knowledge management strategies; (b) effective supply chain management leadership strategies; and (c) risk management strategies. This study is one of the first to apply generic findings of humanitarian supply chain studies to the United Nations, the global organization with diverse mandates that continuously strives to achieve efficiencies required by donors providing financial support, thus remaining operational. The study’s results could help leaders in the various humanitarian organizations who operate in vulnerable environments and under strict scrutiny from donors to deliver their aid programs most efficiently by understanding dynamic capabilities. Previous studies indicate the lack of strategic frameworks applicable to the United Nations that could improve decision-making at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels, facilitate collaboration among supply chain stakeholders, and reduce the costs of the operational performance of the supply chain system in the UN.

Fostering hybrid team performance through inclusive leadership strategies

Over the past years, hybrid teams have emerged as a prevalent phenomenon in the new work arrangements. Effective inclusive leadership strategies are essential for leveraging the full potential of hybrid teams, fostering collaboration, achieving high performance, and improving team members’ well-being. Hybrid teams have members who frequently shift between co-located and remote working. This makes them face unique challenges with technology-mediated communication (e.g., trust development) and the leaders' need to balance the preferences and needs of co-located and remote team members. Leaders must ensure that all team members feel valued and included, regardless of location or schedule, in order to achieve team objectives and enhance well-being. This paper explores hybrid team leaders’ challenges in managing diversity, equity, and inclusion, offering evidence-based strategies and practical recommendations. Specifically, we emphasize strategies for building trust and psychological safety, leveraging diversity as a strength, promoting cross-cultural understanding, establishing clear communication channels, and encouraging collaboration. By empowering hybrid team leaders with these insights, the aim is to foster a culture of inclusion and create an environment where all team members feel valued, ultimately leading to enhanced individual and team performance and team member well-being.
