Abstract
As organizations become more crisis-ridden, they are struggling with limited resources for business survival and continuity in crisis management. Lately, Covid-19 imposed social distancing which reflects on alternative ways of performing jobs through virtual teams and online jobs. Traditional leadership theories seem inadequate in these new job contexts, proactive crisis theories are still minor, and new leadership theories consistently proved the need to switch to team leadership approaches as shared leadership. The authors aim through this chapter to address the need for novel approaches to crisis management through team proactivity, self-efficacy, and shared leadership. The authors develop a conceptual theoretical framework that outlines the relationships between the concepts of team proactivity, self-efficacy, and shared leadership. This study extends the literature review through exploring team proactivity which is marginally studied in comparison to individual proactivity.
