Humanitarian operations have the primary purpose of saving lives and providing relief to the people affected by disasters. Due to the high number of disasters that occurred worldwide, the research in the domain of humanitarian operations has increased. Adequate tooling and systematic procedures are increasingly focusingon the humanitarian context to minimize the difficulties faced by operations. Thus, this article aims to review the existing literature related to applying structural equation modeling in humanitarian operations to understand the main topics covered by the studies. A review of 17 published documents provides descriptive background, such as evolution per year, main publication channels, the number of citations, and content analysis. The results show six main topics: coordination, performance management, communication, social inequality, readiness/agility, and integration. Based on that, the study offers some suggestions for future research.
