“…According to Sridhar and Nagabhushanam 2008, it is imperative to understand that there are several types of humanitarian organizations (HOs) for instance HOs organized by the government, religious entities, corporate, or independent of any other body. For the last couple of decades, such organizations are gaining extraordinary attention, mainly due to the surge in the number of such organizations and also because of their involvement in almost every imaginable area of society.…”

“…Such NGOs which usually rely on are motivated by the hefty amount of grants provided by governments do not sustain in the long run and perish over time. However, some projects could merely not complete without the government's support (Sridhar and Nagabhushanam 2008).…”

“…According to Moshtari and Gonçalves (2016) and Balcik et al (2010), the first hand reliable, adequate, and timely information about the disaster location, its intensity, the damage it caused to infrastructure, and the number of the affected population is vital for the success of relief operation. Sridhar and Nagabhushanam (2008) and Costa et al (2012) adds, for any HOs to implement their relief programs successfully, it is imperative to understand the needs of the beneficiaries. Whereas, some researchers also add that factors like knowledge and information about the developmental needs of the community are also critical for the success of relief operation (Dale and Dulaimi 2016; Moshtari and Gonçalves 2016).…”

“…Culture of HOs heavily influences its management. Every organization tries to adopt the best methods and practices, which suits the organization's culture and the situation (Rodon et al 2012;Sridhar and Nagabhushanam 2008). They also suggest that NGOs survival and success heavily relies on their culture and values, which bonds all the volunteers who work for these NGOs.…”

“…According to Celik et al (2014), HOs need to have a reasonable organizational structure where everyone is aware of their individual and collective responsibilities in order to have the substantial influence on the overall system. Moreover, Sridhar and Nagabhushanam (2008) explain that NGOs are different from business organizations. The HOs have a robust, informal but loosely tied structure, whereas in business organizations, there is a clear line of hierarchy.…”

In the last few decades, an exponential increase in the number of disasters, and their complexity has been reported, which ultimately put much pressure on relief organizations. These organizations cannot usually respond to the disaster on their own, and therefore, all actors involved in relief efforts should have end-to-end synchronization in order to provide relief effectively and efficiently. Consequently, to smoothen the flow of relief operation, a shared understanding of critical success factors in humanitarian supply chain serves as a prerequisite for successful relief operation. Therefore, any member of the humanitarian supply chain might disrupt this synchronization by neglecting one or several of these critical success factors. However, in this study, we try to investigate how faith-based and non-faith-based relief organizations treat these critical success factors. Moreover, we also try to identify any differences between Islamic and Christian relief organizations in identifying and prioritizing these factors. To achieve the objective of this study, we used a two-stage approach; in the first stage, we collected the critical success factors from existing humanitarian literature. Whereas, in the second stage, using an online questionnaire, we collected data on the importance of selected factors from humanitarian relief organizations from around the world in collaboration with World Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (WANGO). Later, responses were analyzed to answer the research questions using non-parametric Binomial and Wilcoxon Rank-Sum tests. Test results indicate that for RQ1, two but all factors are significant for successful relief operation. For RQ2, we found significant differences for some CSF among faith-based and non-faith-based relief organizations. Similarly for RQ3, we found significant differences for some CSF among Islamic and Christian relief organizations.
