I like the haphazarldly placed drywall screw and zip ties holding the cracked, broken, chair together. I would suggest though covering them with duct tape, not only to reinforce it but to cover the sharp exposed end of the zip tie (protip: you can cut them flush with a utility knife).
What's usually better when you want to actually fix it (there is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution, amirite!) is to get some wooden dowel pins (you can buy a big box for like $2 at Home Depot), drill holes in the arm and the back of the chair so the pins fit halfway into each (line it up good!) and then glue it together and fill in any gaps or cracks with wood putty and refinish the chair. The original finish looks kind of tired as it is. Alternately you could find a varnish that matches the color and just refinish the one part you fixed.

If you insist on using drywall screws, you should at least drill the screw hole neatly and countersink it. This will not only make it easier to insert the screw, but will prevent cracking the wood. Or if you can't be arsed to do it properly, at least insert the screw all the way so the ass end isn't hanging out a half inch out the back. Jesus.
