Abstract

PurposeThe occurrence of disaster and crisis is increasing. They are complex as well as challenging for humanitarian organizations (HOs) and societies involved in disaster relief operations. This study examined the nexus between supply chain flexibility (SCF) and humanitarian supply chain performance (HSCP) among HOs with empirical evidence from HOs in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed the quantitative method to explore the interdependencies among the variables. In congruence with this, the study employed the purposive and convenience sampling technique to obtain information from 168 respondents. The analysis was done using SPSS version 23 and Smart PLS version 3.FindingsThe outcome indicates that intercluster coordination (ICC) plays a significant mediating role between SCF and HSCP.Practical implicationsThe outcome of the study indicates that a closer and stronger relationship ensures proper channel use among the HOs. This will improve the performance of the supply chain of HOs and their ability to deal with supply chain uncertainties.Originality/valueThe discovery of this study provides empirical support to the resource-based view theory. Thus, practitioners in the humanitarian setting give priority to factors that could enhance flexibility in their supply chain as well as implement coordination strategies to achieve a responsive humanitarian supply chain (HSC) system in the quest to minimize the outcome of disasters.

集群间协调能否调节供应链灵活性和人道主义供应链绩效之间的关系?
灾难和危机的发生越来越多。对于参与救灾行动的人道主义组织和社会来说,这些挑战既复杂又具有挑战性。本研究利用来自加纳HOs的经验证据,考察了HOs中供应链灵活性(SCF)与人道主义供应链绩效(HSCP)之间的关系。设计/方法/方法本研究采用定量方法探讨变量之间的相互依存关系。与此相一致的是,本研究采用目的性和便利性抽样技术,从168名受访者中获取信息。分析使用SPSS版本23和Smart PLS版本3完成。结果表明集群间协调(inter - cluster coordination, ICC)在集群间协调与高scp之间起着显著的中介作用。实际意义研究结果显示,各居屋之间只有建立更紧密的关系,才能善用渠道。这将提高HOs供应链的绩效和他们处理供应链不确定性的能力。本研究的发现为资源基础观理论提供了实证支持。因此,人道主义环境中的从业者优先考虑能够增强其供应链灵活性的因素,并实施协调策略,以实现响应性人道主义供应链(HSC)系统,以最大限度地减少灾害的后果。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management (JHLSCM) is targeted at academics and practitioners in humanitarian public and private sector organizations working on all aspects of humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. The journal promotes the exchange of knowledge, experience and new ideas between researchers and practitioners and encourages a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional approach to the resolution of problems and exploitations of opportunities within humanitarian supply chains. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines (logistics, operations management, process engineering, health care, geography, management science, information technology, ethics, corporate social responsibility, disaster management, development aid, public policy) but need to have a logistics and/or supply chain focus. JHLSCM publishes state of the art research, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches, in the field of humanitarian and development aid logistics and supply chain management.
