Evidence points to failures in the ability of responders from different organisations to work effectively together, which hinders collaborative efforts. Recently, researchers have argued that one reason why collaboration problems exist when different teams are required to work together is due to multiple identities within the overarching team. Whilst this perspective has been applied to other teams operating in extreme conditions, such as military teams, the evidence in emergency response teams has been scarce. In this paper, we summarise results from a programme of research in which the Social Identity Approach was applied to interoperability in the emergency services to better understand the role of social identities in collaboration, and to develop recommendations for training and policy. The findings from this programme of research show that, (1) shared identity among responders from different services improves interoperability; (2) factors such as strategic communication, context-driven salience processes, and interaction-driven salience processes can facilitate this shared identity; (3) structural barriers, cultural differences, and historically strained relationships can impede shared identity development; and (4) there is a need for psychological factors to be incorporated into interoperability training, which can be delivered either online or in-person. Based on this programme of research, we make five recommendations to improve interoperability in multi-agency teams, focusing on integrating social identity processes into training, promoting leadership practices that foster shared identity, addressing structural barriers to shared identity, developing support systems for emotional and social needs, and fostering inter-team collaboration and communication.","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5973.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144085161","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Employees are important stakeholders in an organization and closer to it than any other stakeholder group. Understanding employees' judgments of crisis spillover risk and response strategies helps to assess their advocacy behavior, which can protect the organization's reputation. This research addresses how perceived crisis severity and corporate response strategies affect employee perceptions of crisis spillover risk and their subsequent advocacy behavior. A pre-test (N = 181) identified three types of corporate misconduct (overcharging customers vs. data leak vs. selling rotten meat) that are characteristic for the supermarket industry. These scenarios were used in an online experiment with retail employees (N = 300) to examine the effects of two crisis response strategies (issuing a denial vs. no response) by a competitor supermarket for which they were asked to imagine working. The findings indicate that higher perceived severity of corporate misconduct correlates with an increased perceived crisis spillover risk to the industry. This perceived risk mediates the relationship between perceived crisis severity and the perceived spillover risk to an individual's own company. Furthermore, issuing a denial is perceived as more appropriate than offering no response, and it fosters greater employee advocacy behavior.","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5973.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, these developments bring safety and security concerns, further exacerbated by the complex relationship between energy demands and escalating geopolitical tensions. Lessons from past nuclear emergencies (e.g., Fukushima and Zaporizhzhia) have highlighted the need for preparedness strategies to protect the public from potential nuclear incidents, with an emphasis on public awareness and effective nuclear instructional risk communication. This paper presents a content analysis examining themes and instructional components within nuclear instructional campaigns, assessing their evidence-based foundations. Specifically, this paper identifies key elements that should be included to enhance the effectiveness of risk communications, focusing on strategies like the IDEA model and audience segmentation, both of which are recognized as effective instructional communication methods. A total of 47 instructional communication campaigns from 28 different countries were analysed. The results show that while most campaigns include crucial instructions, they often fall short in fostering internalization by the public, an essential factor for ensuring effective learning to achieve behavioural outcomes in individuals dealing with risks. Moreover, inconsistencies in terminology and event phase specifications were found, which could affect clarity and comprehension. Given the effectiveness of the IDEA and audience segmentation models in communication, this paper recommends integrating these strategies into future nuclear risk instructional campaigns. Ultimately, the findings provide valuable insights to help governmental and nongovernmental organizations design and develop future communication efforts in this critical area.","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5973.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143888997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, contextualized in an organizational misinformation crisis, this study examined the informational competition between crisis misinformation narrative and organizational prebunking narrative, as well as identified viable ways of using organizational narrative persuasion as a robust prebunking messaging strategy, via the mediation effects of character connection and perceived information quality, to reduce misinformation discussion on social media and increase publics' social correction intention. An online experiment with 1 (Misinformation: blame narrative) × 4 (Organizational prebunking message: blame narrative vs. victim narrative vs. renewal narrative vs. nonnarrative correction) between-subjects design was conducted with 352 US adults. Key findings include: (1) the narrative strategy included in the prebunking message exhibited limited direct effects on participants' communicative behaviors; (2) identification with the spokesperson had more impact than perceived correction quality on participants' communicative behaviors (i.e., misinformation discussion and social correction); and (3) participants' liking of the spokesperson (not trust) was positively associated with their character identification with the spokesperson. Theoretical and practical implications are further discussed in terms of the potential for using a solid persuasive tool -- narrative --to combat misinformation narrative through communicative behaviors, as well as the mechanism behind the competition between misinformation and corrective information.","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5973.70048","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143840580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The overall agreement mean score was 4.91 ± 0.71, with 89.21% average agreement. Kappa emerged as the most sensitive metric in statistical and machine learning analyses, with a feature importance score of 168.32. The Kappa coefficient showed variations across CBRN PAT themes, including medical protocols, logistics, and infrastructure.

However, the question posed by researchers regarding the relation between online search interest and public media coverage has remained mostly unanswered. Moreover, many studies focus their research mainly on disease labels and symptoms. Thus, this article aims to contribute to crisis research, providing a long-term analysis of Google search queries and media coverage in Germany between January 2020 and December 2022, incorporating a broad range of different keywords and categories. The study identified strong correlations between GT and public media data for the categories of disease labels, dynamics, and severity, followed by moderate to strong correlations for characteristics. GT analysis of these keywords may be suitable to monitor public awareness, validate the media impact and assess the efficacy of health communication strategies. Since the results for symptoms showed no significant relation, disease symptoms may serve as valuable keywords for surveilling or forecasting the spread of infectious diseases. The study emphasizes the significance of examining the relationship between media coverage and information-seeking behavior during pandemics and other crises.","PeriodicalId":47674,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management","volume":"33 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1468-5973.70045","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143786847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
