Abstract

Logistics Performance (LP) is one of the fundamental catalysts that serve as a podium for the integration of the world economy. This study is conducted to observe the combined effects of Liner Shipping Connectivity (LSC) and Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) on LP in mediating the Quality of Port and Infrastructure (PORT). We selected 28 Asian economies and 1 special administrative region (Hong Kong) counting the year of 2007–2018. Partial Least Square – Structural Equation Model (PLS–SEM) with an extension of the Importance–Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) was applied. Empirical evidence derived from the path diagram has revealed that LSC and global competitiveness in mediating the PORT have significant effects of accelerating LP, leading to higher competitiveness in terms of strategic development and yielding better connectivity. Due to limited resources, Asian decision-makers need a guidance to focus on how to improve LP. This work also helps to highlight the dimensions of LSC and global competitiveness factors to be concentrated on and the policies to be implemented in this regard.

班轮运输连通性和全球竞争力对物流绩效的影响:港口和基础设施质量的中介作用

物流绩效(LP)是作为世界经济一体化平台的基本催化剂之一。本研究旨在观察班轮运输连通性(LSC)和全球竞争力指数(GCI)对LP在港口和基础设施质量(Port)中的中介作用。我们选择了亚洲28个经济体和1个特别行政区(香港)，以2007-2018年为基数。将偏最小二乘-结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)扩展为重要性-性能图分析(IPMA)。路径图的实证结果表明，LSC和全球竞争力在港口的中介作用下，对港口发展具有显著的加速效应，从而导致战略发展竞争力的提高和连通性的改善。由于资源有限，亚洲决策者需要一个指导来关注如何提高LP。这项工作还有助于突出应集中注意的低薪和全球竞争力因素的各个方面以及在这方面应执行的政策。

期刊介绍： At present, transport is one of the key branches playing a crucial role in the development of economy. Reliable and properly organized transport services are required for a professional performance of industry, construction and agriculture. The public mood and efficiency of work also largely depend on the valuable functions of a carefully chosen transport system. A steady increase in transportation is accompanied by growing demands for a higher quality of transport services and optimum efficiency of transport performance. Currently, joint efforts taken by the transport experts and governing institutions of the country are required to develop and enhance the performance of the national transport system conducting theoretical and empirical research. TRANSPORT is an international peer-reviewed journal covering main aspects of transport and providing a source of information for the engineer and the applied scientist. The journal TRANSPORT publishes articles in the fields of: transport policy; fundamentals of the transport system; technology for carrying passengers and freight using road, railway, inland waterways, sea and air transport; technology for multimodal transportation and logistics; loading technology; roads, railways; airports, ports, transport terminals; traffic safety and environment protection; design, manufacture and exploitation of motor vehicles; pipeline transport; transport energetics; fuels, lubricants and maintenance materials; teamwork of customs and transport; transport information technologies; transport economics and management; transport standards; transport educology and history, etc.
