This research gap will be solved by the authors in this research to achieve the goal of improving the performance of enterprises. Quantitative research method is applied in the research. Data were collected through survey from 181 logistics enterprises in Ho Chi Minh City. The author believes that the research results will contribute significantly to the success of promoting the performance of logistics enterprises as well as to the theoretical basis of employee competence, competence-job fit, job satisfaction, employee performance, and business performance.
