Understanding factors that enhance or diminish performance levels of individuals is instrumental for achieving individual (low level) and organisational (high level) goals. In this PhD study, the effect of social network structure, position, ties and learning on performance attitudes of emergency personnel in disasters is being investigated. The following are the objectives of the research along with approaches to achieve them:
1. To introduce a social network perspective to understand performance of individuals and organisations involved in disaster and emergency management.
2. To improve flows of information between personnel involved in incident response and its management
