By: Krogh, Andreas Hagedorn and Lo, Christian.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Public Administration: An International Quarterly Description: 10(1), Mar, 2023: p.142-157. In: Public Administration: An International QuarterlySummary: In these turbulent times of increased frequency and magnitude of emergencies caused by climate change, pandemics, and other public safety hazards, there has been a growing interest in the question of how to enhance the robustness of emergency management systems. Recent research points to integrated networks of public and non-profit actors as a superior strategy for developing robust governance responses to turbulent problems. This article suggests that institutionally conditioned trust between professionals and volunteers is key to robust emergency management. Based on institutional trust theory and the findings of an empirical case study of local emergency management in Denmark and Norway, it shows how six institutional sources of trust condition the scalable use of organized emergency management volunteers. The study contributes with a theoretical argument and empirical insights on how institutional trust strengthens the robust governance and management of emergencies. – Reproduced https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/padm.12894
