This study was conducted because SAR team in Malaysia faced various challenges such as poor communication, poor improvements of the overall SAR process and procedures, speed to reach at the incident location, geographical condition, technological challenges, and new prevalence of task due to COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires consisting of nine sections; demographic data of respondents, SAR team performance, team communication, team leadership, team time management, work environment, technology compatibility, relational boundary, and team motivation. The data collection involves nine selected Fire and Rescue stations such as Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya/Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, and Kedah, which consists of 850 rescue personnel.

This study examined the internal team factors (team communication, team leadership, and team time management) and external team factors (work environment, technology compatibility, relational boundary) that affect Search and Rescue (SAR) team performance via the mediating role of team motivation. This study was conducted because SAR team in Malaysia faced various challenges such as poor communication, poor improvements of the overall SAR process and procedures, speed to reach at the incident location, geographical condition, technological challenges, and new prevalence of task due to COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires consisting of nine sections; demographic data of respondents, SAR team performance, team communication, team leadership, team time management, work environment, technology compatibility, relational boundary, and team motivation. The data collection involves nine selected Fire and Rescue stations such as Pahang, Terengganu, Kelantan, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Cyberjaya/Putrajaya, Negeri Sembilan, Penang, and Kedah, which consists of 850 rescue personnel.

The data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 26 software for Windows and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique using partial least square analysis by SmartPLS Version 3.0. The results indicated that team communication, team time management, and relational boundary have a direct relationship with SAR team performance. Team communication (P = 0.206, pO.01), team time management (P = 0.293, p<0.001), and relational boundary (P = 0.184, p<0.01) has a positive and significant relationship with SAR team performance.
