Factors and logistics activities affect the efficiency of the transportation process within the Eastern region

Abstract

This research aims to: 1) investigate the logistics factors that affect the efficiency of the goods transportation process in the Eastern region, and 2) examine the logistics activities that influence the efficiency of the goods transportation process in the Eastern region. A questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 400 employees working in transportation companies across the Eastern region, with 50 participants from each province, including Prachinburi, Sa Kaeo, Chachoengsao, Samut Prakan, Chonburi, Rayong, Chanthaburi, and Trat.
The multiple regression analysis of logistics activities affecting transportation efficiency in the Eastern region shows that organizational factors account for 60.0% (R² = 0.600) of the variance in employees' overall performance, with statistical significance at the 0.001 level. Further analysis, using multiple regression, revealed that logistics activities explain 61.4% of the variance in transportation efficiency (R² = 0.673), with statistical significance at the 0.001 level. The logistics activities that significantly impact the efficiency of the transportation process in the Eastern region include service quality, transportation, warehouse location selection, and inventory management.
