Encyclopedia of Management Theory
In discussing a management topic, scholars, educators, practitioners, and the media often toss out the name of a theorist (Taylor, Simon, Weber) or make a sideways reference to a particular theory (bureaucracy, total quality management, groupthink) and move on, as if assuming their audience possesses the necessary background to appreciate and integrate the reference.

The COVID-19 Pandemic, Problematic Internet Use, Post-traumatic Stress and Mental Health
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused tremendous loss of human life and disruption of normal daily activities across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic can be traumatic and have short-term and long-term influences on individual behaviors and well-being. To contain and control the spread of COVID-19, various public health and social measures (e.g., social distancing, quarantine, isolation, and extensive lockdown of cities) have been implemented in countries worldwide. With such social and environmental changes, the prolonged feelings of fear, worry, stress, and the lack of social activities and interaction may greatly increase the prevalence of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety and depression). Nowadays, Internet has permeated into everyone’s life, which may play an increasingly important role in coping with COVID-19 related stress and anxiety. However, the increasing reliance on the Internet may lead to problematic Internet use (PIU), prolonged screen time, and sedentary lifestyles, and pose great risks to public health.
