“…Since complex conditions are accompanied by unforeseen problems that leaders and standard operating procedures (SOPs) cannot always navigate or accommodate, some scholars suggest that adaptive performance in expanding disaster incidents depends in large part on the extent to which responders are empowered to make important decisions, such as the ability to improvise the use of resources and response tactics when warranted by the situation (Huntsman et al, 2021;Bigley and Roberts, 2001). Empowered in this way, responders help to maintain department adaptive performance by enhancing the organization's responsiveness to unpredictable aspects of its operating environment (Wall et al, 2002).…”

PurposeWhile uncertainty during emergency response operations necessitates adaptive performance, emergency response organizations, such as the fire service, tend to constrain adaptive behaviors due to their highly formalized bureaucratic structures. Structural theories suggest that leaders can empower employees to bypass these constraints.Design/methodology/approachUsing survey data from four US fire departments, this research tests whether mid-level supervisors can empower firefighters by increasing their ability to improvise during complex emergency response operations, and whether this enhances department adaptive performance. Moderated mediation is also performed to assess whether senior leaders must also be effective, empowering leaders in order to achieve heightened levels of empowerment and subsequent adaptive performance, as many senior leaders in the fire service are criticized for being overly bureaucratic, risk averse, and resistant to change.FindingsThe findings support compensatory effects and show how immediate supervisors are key to overcoming senior leader deficiencies and producing adaptive performance during conditions of high uncertainty and complexity.Originality/valueThe lack of response organizations’ success during complex incidents is often attributed to senior leaders who are risk averse, overly bureaucratic, and resistant to change (Wankhade and Patnaik, 2020). This study is the first to show how empowering leadership can help overcome these constraints to enhance adaptive performance under complex conditions in the fire service.

“…Hal ini muncul karena adanya inkonsistensian dari hasil penelitian sebelumnya sehingga terdapat gap research pada pengaruh pelatihan terhadap kinerja. Lantas, pengaruh pemberdayaan terhadap kinerja yang dilakukan oleh Heriyawan dan Setyowati (2015); Rahayu dan Rozak (2015); dan Huntsman, et al (2021) memiliki pengaruh signifikan. Namun pada penelitian Ayuningtyas & Djastuti (2017) menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan belum mampu meningkatkan kinerja.…”
