Abstract: Studies and debates on the various phases of disasters go as far back as the 1930s. From these early times, both scholars and practitioners within the field of humanitarian response and disaster management have used categories relating to the various phases on disaster to understand their field of study as well as to improve on their response to disaster events more effectively. The issue of organizational effectiveness in disaster relief situations such as tsunami’s, earthquakes, flood among others is often saddled with controversies. There are those who believe that contingencies emerge during natural disaster scenarios and are require to make such organizations put to test the basic assumptions of the contingency approach in relief donations management and especially as we understand disaster management cycle which has been a crucial instrument for the management of disaster events and their effects. This paper utilized qualitative research approach to gain an insight into the nature of the impact of organizational effectiveness in disaster management in Nigeria. Taylor’s scientific management theory was adopted as the theoretical anchorage for the paper, while the humanist or anthropogenic view of disasters gave the perspective in the approach to understanding disaster issues. The paper recommends for a comprehensive natural disaster management approach covering risk prevention, risk mitigation, and effective recovery assistance.
