Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to identify the relationship between logistics companies’ Logistics 4.0 technology adoption with logistics innovation capability and logistics performance, and analyze the mediating effect of logistics innovation capability and the mediated moderation effect of firm size through logistics innovation capability. Design/methodology - Research models and hypotheses were established based on prior research related to Industry 4.0, Logistics 4.0, logistics technology, logistics performance, and firm size. The survey was conducted on the employees of logistics companies, and exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, discriminant validity analysis, structural equation model analysis, mediation effect, moderation effect, and the mediated moderation effect analysis were performed. Findings - The adoption of Logistics 4.0 technology was found to significantly affect logistics innova- tion capability and logistics performance. Logistics innovation capability was found to significantly affect logistics performance. Moreover, logistics innovation capability was found to have a significant mediation effect on the relationship between Logistics 4.0 technology adoption and logistics perfor- mance. The moderation effect based on firm size was found to have a partial effect on logistics in- novation capability and logistics performance, but the mediated moderation effect was not significant. Originality/value - This study is meaningful in that it empirically analyzed the relationship of Logistics 4.0 technology adoption with logistics innovation capability and logistics performance, the mediating effect of logistics innovation capability, the moderation effect of firm size, and the mediated moderation effect of firm size, which were not addressed in previous studies.

物流 4.0 技术应用对物流绩效的影响：物流创新能力的中介效应和企业规模的中介调节效应

目的--本研究旨在识别物流企业采用物流 4.0 技术与物流创新能力和物流绩效之间的关系，并分析物流创新能力的中介效应和企业规模通过物流创新能力的中介调节效应。设计/方法--基于以往对工业 4.0、物流 4.0、物流技术、物流绩效和企业规模的相关研究，建立研究模型和假设。以物流企业员工为调查对象，进行探索性因子分析、信度分析、确认性因子分析、判别效度分析、结构方程模型分析、中介效应分析、调节效应分析和中介调节效应分析。研究结果 - 物流 4.0 技术的采用显著影响物流创新能力和物流绩效。研究发现，物流创新能力会对物流绩效产生重大影响。此外，研究还发现，物流创新能力对物流 4.0 技术的采用与物流绩效之间的关系具有显著的中介效应。研究发现，基于企业规模的调节效应对物流创新能力和物流绩效有部分影响，但中介调节效应不明显。原创性/价值--本研究的意义在于，它实证分析了物流 4.0 技术采用与物流创新能力和物流绩效的关系、物流创新能力的中介效应、企业规模的调节效应以及企业规模的中介调节效应，而这些在以往的研究中都没有涉及。
