Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) to examine the effects of different organizational factors on the logistics management efficiency of transport and warehouse entrepreneurs in Phutthamonthon District, Nakhon Pathom Province, and 2) to investigate the influences of logistics activities on their logistics management efficiency. A sample of 317 transport and warehouse entrepreneurs was selected by convenience sampling. Data was collected using questionnaires, with a reliability of 0.95, and analyzed with frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis.
The results of the research found that:
1) Entrepreneurs with different organizational factors, including registered capital, number of employees, and business duration, had significantly different logistics management efficiency at the 0.05 level. Entrepreneurs with higher capital, more employees, and longer business duration tended to have greater logistics efficiency.
2) Procurement, warehousing, and inventory management activities positively affected logistics management efficiency at the 0.01 significance level, altogether explaining 64.70% of the variance in logistics efficiency.
