Constructs	Type	Number of items	Measurement items	Reference
Organisational learning	Reflective	7	In this organisation, members are committed to active learning and self-development; generate new insights and share information with others in the team; there is continuous learning from other relief organisations; past relief experiences help to generate own procedures based on best practices; there are mechanisms in place for identifying lessons from past operational successes and failures; the lessons from past experiences are translated into improved and more relevant processes and practices; best practices shared throughout and across operations; employees jointly evaluate their performance in order to improve their future work	L'Hermitte et al. (2016a, b)
Organisational networks	Reflective	6	This humanitarian organisation always talks to the other relief organisations; knows the other relief organisations to contact in case of any disaster; establishes new contacts with other relief organisations; always avoids serious harm to the other relief organisations; is willing to help other relief organisations; and responds to other relief organisations' requests	Gulati et al. (2002), Mutebi et al. (2020b)
Organisational adaptability	Reflective	6	This humanitarian organisation monitors the environment to come up with new operational guidelines for delivering the required relief operation activities; comes up with patterns and logistics infrastructure to delivering relief; evaluates the needs of ultimate beneficiaries, not just immediate beneficiaries; creates flexible process and service designs to adapt to changing conditions; determines where the organisation's relief stands in terms of technology cycles and relief life cycles	Lee (2004), Mutebi et al. (2020b), Dubey et al. (2015)
Organisational role clarity	Reflective	5	This organisation is very clear about the relief it is expected to deliver	Khan et al. (2019), Jensen and Hertz (2016), Bliese and Castro (2000), Cammann et al. (1983)
			The roles of this organisation when working with others during humanitarian relief delivery are very clear
			The responsibilities of this organisation during relief operations are very clear
