Purpose

This paper aims to explore interorganisational collaboration on event security in Germany. Therefore, it focusses on perceptions of representatives from emergency and law enforcement agencies (ELEAs) as well as commercial event stewards and security providers (ESSPs) who work together in the area. The following questions are addressed in this paper: how do the actors perceive inter-organisational collaboration on event security? In these actors' view, what factors define collaboration?

Design/methodology/approach

For this study, a literature review was carried out on success-critical factors of inter-organisational collaboration at security-related settings. The results have been grouped into categories, which are assigned to sociotechnical core elements. These are the basis of a qualitative content analysis of 47 semi-structured interviews with ELEA and ESSP representatives in the context of 15 major events in Germany.

Findings

The findings support the assumption that interorganisational collaboration on event security theoretically and in the perception of on-site experts emerges as a sociotechnical system within the setting of major events. Successful collaboration is determined by human, technical and organisational factors, which interconnect the collaborating actors and ideally stabilise their work relations.

Originality/value

This article contributes to the literature regarding event and security research. The results provide insights into hitherto under-represented perspectives of stakeholders on collaboration in event security. The sociotechnical category system adds an approach for the systematic analysis of interorganisational security production.

德国的事件安全生产——关于不同安全参与者之间的组织间合作看法的实证发现

目的

本文旨在探讨德国在事件安全方面的组织间合作。因此，它侧重于应急和执法机构 (ELEA) 代表以及在该地区合作的商业活动管理员和安全提供商 (ESSP) 代表的看法。本文解决了以下问题：参与者如何看待事件安全方面的组织间协作？在这些参与者看来，哪些因素定义了协作？

设计/方法/方法

在这项研究中，对安全相关环境中组织间协作的成功关键因素进行了文献综述。结果已被分组，这些类别被分配给社会技术核心要素。这些是对 ELEA 和 ESSP 代表在德国 15 项重大事件背景下的 47 次半结构化访谈的定性内容分析的基础。

发现

研究结果支持这样的假设，即在理论上和现场专家的感知中，在事件安全方面的组织间合作作为重大事件背景下的社会技术系统出现。成功的合作取决于人、技术和组织因素，这些因素将合作的参与者相互联系起来，并在理想情况下稳定他们的工作关系。

原创性/价值

本文有助于有关事件和安全研究的文献。结果提供了对利益相关者在事件安全协作方面迄今为止代表性不足的观点的见解。社会技术类别系统为组织间安全生产的系统分析增加了一种方法。
