Abstract

Based on the panel data of Chinese state-owned toll road companies (STRCs) from 2013 to 2019, this study constructed a Political-Economic-Social-Technological-Market structural (PESTM) theoretical framework, and utilized the dynamic QCA methodology to investigate the combined effects of multiple condition conditions that enhance the operational efficiency of STRCs. It is found that there are four distinct configurations to promote operational efficiency: government-technology-market driven, government-market synergistic, economy-technology co-creation, and economy-society-technology-market coordination. The result suggests that the efficient development of STRCs needs to cultivate market competition and focus on the synergistic drive of multiple factors in the region.

中国国有收费公路运营效率提升路径探索：一种动态QCA方法

基于2013 - 2019年中国国有收费公路公司面板数据，构建了政治-经济-社会-技术-市场结构（PESTM）理论框架，运用动态QCA方法研究了多种条件条件对国有收费公路公司运营效率的综合影响。研究发现，政府-技术-市场驱动型、政府-市场协同型、经济-技术协同型和经济-社会-技术-市场协同型四种不同的配置对提高企业运行效率具有显著的促进作用。研究结果表明，STRCs的高效发展需要培育市场竞争，注重区域内多因素的协同驱动。

期刊介绍： Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
