| Abstract | ||||
| Purpose – The purpose of the study was to establish the determinants of disaster risk reduction procedures implementation in Egyptian general petroleum corporation. The major obstacle, however, has been inadequate regulatory compliance. The study’s objectives were to find out the effect of strategic planning, the role of staff competence, and the effect of top management support on the implementation of DRR procedures. Design/methodology/approach – The study used a conceptual framework that involves both independent and dependent variables. Independent variables for this study are strategic planning, staff competence, top management support, while the dependent variable is the implementation of DRR procedures. The study used a descriptive survey design and sampled 43 participants. Questionnaires were used to collect data which was analyzed according to the research objectives. Findings – The study found out that both staff competence and support from top management were a significant prediction of implementation of DRR procedures and strategic planning was not a significant predictor of implementation of DRR procedures. The study recommends that management of EGPC to accord staff maximum support to enhance DRR procedures implementation and recommends that top management should decentralization of the decision-making process for DRR; they also should provide incentives to those preparing strategic plans for DRR. Giving incentives and involving workers in important decisions would go a long way in motivating them and thereby enhance the implementation of DDR procedures. Originality/value – The study represents one of the first attempts in the literature to establish the determinants of disaster risk reduction procedures implementation in the Egyptian petroleum sector. | ||||
