Abstract

How stakeholder attributes might influence the performance of disaster recovery project remains ambiguous. Stakeholder attributes are socially constructed variables and have been classified as power, legitimacy and urgency based on stakeholder theory. They are not the only factors to predict the overall performance of a project, the environmental factors such as socio-economic and project conditions should also be considered. We, therefore, hypothesised that direct relationship between stakeholder attributes and performance of disaster recovery projects might be mediated by socio-economic and transport infrastructure conditions. Using structural equation modelling with partial least square estimation approach, we analysed data collected from structured questionnaire survey involving local councils in New South Wales, Australia. The results suggest that stakeholders with more power, legitimacy and urgency attributes have managed disaster recovery projects with better performance. The results also show that the socio-economic and transport infrastructure conditions have mediating effects on performance of disaster recovery projects.
