The Impacts of Innovation and Facilitating Condition of Logistics 4.0 Technology on Logistics Safety Participation and Safety Performance

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of innovation and facilitating condition of logistics 4.0 technology on logistics safety participation and safety performance for logistics companies. Research design, data and methodology : Based on previous studies related to logistics 4.0 and logistics safety, measurements for each variable were derived, and a survey was conducted on employees of logistics companies. Also exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. Results : The innovation and facilitating condition of logistics 4.0 technology had a significant impact on logistics safety participation, and the facilitating condition of logistics 4.0 technology had a meaningful impact on safety performance, but innovation did not. In addition, logistics safety participation had a significant effect on safety performance. Conclusions : Logistics companies need to induce participation in logistics safety by actively introducing and utilizing logistics 4.0 technology, thereby prevent the occurrence of safety accidents.
