Through a systematic literature review, this chapter aims at mapping the servant leader's psychosomatic traits in organizational contexts, and how these induce beneficial effects in organizational performance. It predicts that such leaders would need to display those traits, crystallized into a set of attitudes and behaviors, to address, manage, and overcome the challenges brought by globalization. Leaders would need to be keen on displaying broad knowledge and experience, as well as boundless curiosity and enthusiasm, which also connects to the need of entailing a contagious optimism towards every aspect of life, openly believing in people and teamwork. They need to be assertive and assume high standards in ethical and moral terms, taking risks, and focusing on the long-term growth. Such leaders will commit to excellence, making use of a constant adaptive capacity, because authenticity, integrity, cooperation, and confidence are their distinctive trademarks. Those personality traits, exerted under the servant leadership style, increase overall organizational performance.

The main aim of this study was to clarify the current literary inconsistencies regarding the characteristics of entrepreneurial leadership and its impact on sustainability. Additionally, another aim was to establish the framework of entrepreneurial leadership and to highlight the main gaps in the entrepreneurial leadership literature. The entrepreneurial leadership literature started to develop recently as a new leadership style that is required to fulfill the current business changes in the fourth industrial revolution. The researchers conducted a narrative literature review to assess the status of entrepreneurial leadership in academia, literature gaps, and the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on the sustainability performance of organizations. Furthermore, the researchers main aim was to investigate the following research question: is entrepreneurial leadership a fixed or a multidimensional concept that differs based on industry, context, and firm size? Regarding the answer to this question, the current study found that entrepreneurial leadership is a multidimensional concept as it is reflected in different perspectives, which indicates the inconsistency of the characteristics of entrepreneurial leadership claimed in the literature. Research limitations—the current study focused on assessing the literature review status of entrepreneurial leadership. Based on that, this study’s limitation is represented in not focusing on testing entrepreneurial leadership’s impact on sustainability either quantitatively or qualitatively. On the contrary, it contributed by analyzing the status of the entrepreneurial leadership literature. Future studies need to further assess this relationship between both concepts and reach an agreement about the common characteristics of entrepreneurial leadership. Originality/value—the current study contributes to the entrepreneurial leadership literature as it highlighted the existing gaps and the inconsistency in the literature. Additionally, it contributed theoretically by connecting entrepreneurial leadership to the existing literature. Furthermore, empirically, it highlighted the contribution of entrepreneurial leadership by emphasizing the impact of it on organizational sustainable development performance. This study represents a call for scholars to focus more on entrepreneurial leadership given its contribution to organizational performance.

Objetivo: Bio-Oss is a xenogene bone graft in which all organic components are removed while retaining their natural mineral architecture. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate, through a literature review, the benefits of using Bio-Oss for tissue regenerative treatment prior to implant placement. Material and Methods: a search was performed in Pubmed (Medline) in order to identify articles published in English between January 1, 2000 and June 31, 2018, where the Bio-Oss graft was used prior to implantation of implants in humans. A total of 40 studies were selected for detailed analysis. From this analysis, 18 articles were identified for inclusion in this review. Results: the articles analyzed in the review showed several beneficial effects of this xenograft, such as: positive osteoconductive properties, recovery of bone heights at sites with severe atrophies, slow xenograft reabsorption suggesting long term stability, survival rates and success of implants placed in grafted sites ranging from 91 to 100% in several studies. Conclusion: the use of bio-oss as a bone substitute is a viable alternative in the placement before dental implants, being used in clinical practice and with proved efficacy in several studies, due to its similarity with the bone and its high level of osteoconductivity.KeywordsBio-Oss; Bone Graft; Implants.

Transfer of modern technology (ToMT) including upgrading/alterations/additions (As and As)) through individuals’ organizational effectiveness of training (EoT) in the Omani ships’ repairs environment (OSRE) remains a challenging issue, particularly with regards to the future of on-going projects such as ships/maritime materiel, infrastructure and platforms that continue their operations for many years after acceptance dates. ToMT/upgrading is done to enhance the capability of the whole dockyard/navy through a predetermined arrangement, involving many areas of interest such as the knowledge, competencies and skills (KCS) of the indigenous workforce to support the capability. Typical examples that can drag/slow down the modern KCS development of the indigenous workforce are to fully depend on the outside contracts, manpower substitution, external organization and institutions to do the work, which can also be expensive in the short and long-term. Technology transfer requires a high level of commitment and expertise from both the technology provider and the recipients/owner/indigenous workforce. Intellectual talents are a decisive requirement, followed by financial resources, particularly when major contractual projects and long-term relations are involved. This literature review and methodical study endeavoured to draw previous experience of the organizations under study, including the Omani Dockyard, to understand the current situational readiness of knowledge, competencies and skills (KCS) in single- and double-loop learning. The KCS are valued by emphasising the need for force for direction, force for efficiency, force for proficiency, force for innovation, force for concentration and force of cooperation as ‘a system of forces’ and also the effectiveness of training, to deliver overall Organizational Performance. The study begins by significantly and initially forming a model to introduce the determinants for the subject of study, followed by a critical literature review on ToMT and the determinants of the model. The discussion and conclusions are intended to outline the method that enhances readiness for new technology. The main contributing factors are the know-how to develop expertise and transfer KCS in the workplace. This study has determined the collaborative value of the current business to see whether future acceptance of new knowledge or technology transfer can be entertained.

Introduction: Organization commitment is an important variable in understanding employee behavior that has a serious effect on organizational performance. Employees not only have to have expertise, empowerment and competence, but they also have to have organizational commitment. Therefore, the level of attachment and commitment of the nurses to their organization can influence their clinical competence. The research was conducted to identify the factors that influence nursing organizational commitment.Methods: The literature review employed the Scopus, ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Ebsco and CINAHL databases to retrieve original articles published between 1999 and 2017. The method used to arrange the literature review started with the topic selection and then the reviewer determined the following keywords: organization commitment, commitment, nursing, health and factors of commitment. Out of the 2.134 articles found, there were 15 journals with a cross-sectional study design that discussed the organizational commitment of nurses.Results: The organizational commitment of care is influenced by many factors, both internal and external. These factors include leadership style, compensation, career development, organizational culture /climate, spiritual health and learning organizations.Conclusion: The factors found above can increase the commitment of nurse organizations in comprehensive health services.

Accurate remote sensing of mountainous forest cover change is important for myriad social and ecological reasons, but is challenged by topographic and illumination conditions that can affect detection of forests. Several topographic illumination correction (TIC) approaches have been developed to mitigate these effects, but existing research has focused mostly on whether TIC improves forest cover classification accuracy and has usually found only marginal gains. However, the beneficial effects of TIC may go well beyond accuracy since TIC promises to improve detection of low illuminated forest cover and thereby normalize measurements of the amount, geographic distribution, and rate of forest cover change regardless of illumination. To assess the effects of TIC on the extent and geographic distribution of forest cover change, in addition to classification accuracy, we mapped forest cover across mountainous Nepal using a 25-year (1992–2016) gap-filled Landsat time series in two ways—with and without TIC (i.e., nonTIC)—and classified annual forest cover using a Random Forest classifier. We found that TIC modestly increased classifier accuracy and produced more conservative estimates of net forest cover change across Nepal (−5.2% from 1992–2016) TIC. TIC also resulted in a more even distribution of forest cover gain across Nepal with 3–5% more net gain and 4–6% more regenerated forest in the least illuminated regions. These results show that TIC helped to normalize forest cover change across varying illumination conditions with particular benefits for detecting mountainous forest cover gain. We encourage the use of TIC for satellite remote sensing detection of long-term mountainous forest cover change.
