Abstract
The purpose of this research was to assess the effects of Humanitarian Supply Chain Management on organizational performance in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church Development and Inter-Church Aid Commission (EOTC-DICAC). The study has adopted a mixed research approach. Questionnaires and semi structured interviews - were used to collect necessary data. Respondents were chosen using a simple random sampling technique for the questionnaire survey based data collection Semi-structured interviews were conducted using a purposeful sampling technique to collect data from the managers of the two units. The analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistical techniques, as well as theme analysis. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis was used to test the framework's proposed correlations, and regression analysis was used to analyze the causal relationships. As a result, the study's findings show that two humanitarian Supply Chain Management practices (preparation practice and recovery practice) have a positive and significant effect on organizational performance. Mitigation and response activities require the attention of the EOTC-DICAC Ethiopia concerned body in order to increase organizational performance. Further research is recommended through inclusion of other supply chain stockholders such as beneficiaries, government‟s institutions, private companies and donor agencies as units of analysis.
