Abstract
Purpose-The stakeholders are now demanding more visibility and role clarity in the humanitarian supply chain to improve collaborative efforts. Using a contingent resource-based view, the author studies crisis leadership as a complementary organizational resource for the successful adoption of digital technologies in the emergency supply chain. The author further examined the relationships between digital technologies on information visibility and collaboration under the moderating effects of intergroup leadership.
Design/methodology/approach- The author gathered data from 117 NGOs in India using a multi-informant questionnaire. The author further tested the research hypotheses using variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM).
Findings- Digital technologies under the interaction effect of crisis leadership have a significant influence on the information visibility and the collaboration in the humanitarian context. The findings of the study extend the contingent resource-based views to create a better understanding of applications of digital technologies in alleviating human suffering due to crises.
Practical implications- The author provides some direction to the managers engaged in the humanitarian supply chain, contemplating using emerging technologies to enhance information visibility and collaboration.
Original/value- The current study offers some useful implications for theory. The study findings suggest that the digital technologies under the moderating effect of the crisis leadership significantly improve the information visibility and the collaboration among the emergency supply chain relief workers. These findings contribute to the contingent-resource-based view (C-RBV) literature by expanding the scope of the theory. To date, the C-RBV is yet to be explored in humanitarian or emergency settings. Further, the study empirically tests the moderating role of crisis leadership which is touted to be the game-changer, particularly in crises or emergencies.
