The degree to which exercises improve the collaboration among different organizations during an emergency is under debate. This study aims to contribute to the scarce research on this topic by giving insight into the perceived effects of exercises on collaboration, learning, usefulness and interorganizational trust. In particular, this quantitative study looked into the differences between the effects of tabletop and full‐scale exercises. A questionnaire assessing collaboration, learning, usefulness and trust—the CLUT instrument—was developed. Data were collected from 173 full‐time emergency management personnel in Norway and Canada. Usefulness, learning and collaboration outcomes were perceived to be high for both types of exercises, but full‐scale exercises were perceived to have greater learning and usefulness outcomes than tabletop exercises. Stronger relationships were identified between the perceived effects on learning and usefulness, collaboration and trust in tabletop compared to full‐scale exercise, whereas the relationship between the perceived effects upon collaboration and trust was stronger in full‐scale exercises. Multiple regression analysis showed that the variables used to measure exercise usefulness can better predict tabletop exercise outcomes.

协作式紧急演习的结果：全面演习和桌面演习之间的差异

在紧急情况下，演习如何改善不同组织之间的协作尚存在争议。本研究旨在通过深入了解练习对协作，学习，有用性和组织间信任的感知影响，为对此主题的稀缺研究做出贡献。这项定量研究尤其着眼于台式锻炼和全面锻炼的效果之间的差异。编制了一份评估协作，学习，有用性和信任度的问卷（CLUT工具）。数据来自挪威和加拿大的173名全职应急管理人员。两种类型的练习都认为有用，学习和协作的结果很高，但是与台式练习相比，全面练习的学习和实用效果更高。与全面练习相比，在桌面上学习对学习和有用性，协作与信任的感知效果之间的关系更强，而对协作与信任的感知影响在全面练习中的关系更强。多元回归分析表明，用于衡量锻炼有效性的变量可以更好地预测台式锻炼的结果。
