Confidence in Crises: Time-Pressed Interorganizational Information Sharing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In emergencies, collaborators in ad hoc teams often must quickly share information across boundaries. In order for good decisions to be made under severe time pressure, participants must trust one another and feel confident that the data they use will support their decision-making. The data must also be of adequate quality (at a minimum, it must be accurate and timely) to aid the decision-making process. Previous research suggests that both interpersonal and inter-organizational information sharing are affected by trust. However, systematic examination of information sharing under time pressure is understudied, including the relationships between participants’ trust in one another, their confidence in the data that is being shared, the actual quality of that data, and the outcomes of the decisions made. We answer this need by reviewing prior relevant research, offering a set of research propositions, and discussing how these phenomena might be examined in a study of information sharing in emergency telemedicine.
