This study examines the inter-departmental emergency response dynamics within China's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism (JPCM). Departments' positions in the network are fundamental to understanding the overall structure and operation of the collaborative emergency response. Moreover, understanding the influence of departmental resources on departmental positions promotes efficient inter-departmental collaboration.
The study uses regression analysis to empirically investigate the departmental resources to departments' participation in the JPCM collaboration. The independent variable adopts the departments' positions by statistically presenting the departments' centrality using social network analysis. The dependent variables employ departmental resources, including departmental duties, staffing levels, and approved annual budgets based on data from the government website.
The result of social network analysis shows that in JPCM inter-departmental collaboration, the Ministry of Transport, Health Commission, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Emergency Management, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Education, and Development and Reform Commission are mainly involved. The regression analysis result indicates that the department's engagement in collaborative actions is determined and influenced by the department's statutory duties. The more statutory duties department has, the more it is in a critical position and role for JPCM.
The study can assist emergency management practitioners and academic departments in utilizing evidence-based approaches to justify the collaboration and involvement of participating departments. The analysis of the collaborative networks considering JPCM in China by the participation and organization logic is of fundamental significance for arguing for complementing COVID emergency management and inter-departmental emergency collaboration studies.
本研究考察了中国联防联控机制内的部门间应急响应动态。各部门在网络中的位置对于理解协同应急响应的整体结构和运作至关重要。此外，了解部门资源对部门位置的影响有助于促进高效的部门间协作。
本研究使用回归分析实证研究部门资源对各部门参与联防联控机制协作的影响。自变量通过社会网络分析统计呈现各部门的中心性来采用各部门的位置。因变量采用部门资源，包括根据政府网站数据得出的部门职责、人员配备水平和批准的年度预算。
社会网络分析结果表明，在联防联控机制部门间协作中，主要涉及交通运输部、卫生健康委、公安部、应急管理部、文化和旅游部、教育部以及国家发展和改革委员会。回归分析结果表明，部门参与协作行动的程度由部门法定职责决定并受其影响。部门法定职责越多，其在联防联控机制中就越处于关键地位和发挥关键作用。
本研究可为应急管理从业者和学术部门提供帮助，使其利用循证方法来论证参与部门的协作和参与情况。按照参与和组织逻辑对中国考虑联防联控机制的协作网络进行分析，对于论证补充新冠疫情应急管理和部门间应急协作研究具有根本意义。
