Abstract

The effectiveness of humanitarian assistance often depends on the effectiveness of the resources utilized such as predictive logic, relief partners, logistics technology, and relief personnel. Analysis of the most recent yet more vulnerable disasters have pointed out that the relief workers often created a difference. Lack of appropriate access to standardized models to train the relief workers has created a need to develop a competency model that can further be validated with the relief organizations to create a standard. The current study aims to develop and test a hypothetical model that proposes a relationship between the competencies of the emergency relief workers, job performance, and job satisfaction through empirical analysis of primary data. The study reveals a good relationship between the competencies, job performance, and job satisfaction and shows a significant impact of the three variables on each other. The study culminates into recommending the key findings of the personnel to be able to improve the efficiency of the relief operation.
