Abstract

Most studies on humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR) missions suggest that the quality of logistics, coordination and human resource management will affect their performance. However, studies in developing countries are mainly conceptual and lack the necessary empirical evidence to support these contentions. The current paper thereby aimed to fill this knowledge gap by statistically examining the effects of the abovementioned factors on such missions. Focusing on the Malaysian army due to its extensive experience in HADR operations, the paper opted for a quantitative approach to allow for a more objective analysis of the issues. The results show that there are other potential determinants of mission success which deserve due attention in future studies. They also suggest that human resource is not easily measured as a construct, and that this limitation in methodology must be overcome to derive more accurate conclusions regarding its effect on HADR mission performance.

后勤、协调和人力资源对人道主义援助和救灾任务绩效的相对影响
大多数关于人道主义援助和救灾(HADR)特派团的研究表明,后勤、协调和人力资源管理的质量将影响其绩效。然而,发展中国家的研究主要是概念性的,缺乏必要的经验证据来支持这些观点。因此,本文件旨在通过统计审查上述因素对这些特派团的影响来填补这一知识空白。由于马来西亚军队在HADR行动方面的丰富经验,本文选择了定量方法,以便对问题进行更客观的分析。结果表明,还有其他可能决定任务成功的因素,值得在今后的研究中予以适当注意。他们还建议,人力资源不容易作为一种结构加以衡量,必须克服方法上的这一限制,以便得出关于人力资源对人道主义援助特派团业绩影响的更准确的结论。
