ABSTRACT

This study examines the different mechanisms through which network configurations explain organizations' influence reputation in a collaborative disaster response network. Using network data collected from public and non-profit organizations who participated in the disaster response of 2016 Jiangsu Tornado, the study finds that organizations’ influence reputation is explained both by how well organizations are connected in the network (connectivity degree), and with whom they are connected (composition of ego networks). Evidence from two types of network ties (communication and coordination) in the disaster response highlights the different effects of network configurations associated with different levels of network activities.

摘要

本研究探讨了网络配置解释组织在协作灾难响应网络中的影响力声誉的不同机制。使用从参与 2016 年江苏龙卷风灾害响应的公共和非营利组织收集的网络数据，研究发现组织的影响力声誉可以通过组织在网络中的连接程度（连接度）以及与谁来解释它们是相连的（自我网络的组成）。来自灾难响应中两种类型的网络联系（通信和协调）的证据突出了与不同级别的网络活动相关的网络配置的不同影响。
