Abstract
Logistics plays a vital role in ensuring the competitiveness of countries in the international arena. The Logistics Performance Index, which reflects countries' international competitiveness, shows a country's efficiency in trade. However, the Logistics Performance Index determines the countries' on-the-ground efficiency of trade supply chains or logistics services from the view of worldwide logistics firms' managers. As a result, the robustness of the underlying data is related to individual logistics firms' factors; moreover, in the common literature, the effects of the Logistics Performance Index on countries' individual logistics firms' logistics performance have yet to be researched. This paper aims to analyze the effects of Logistics Performance Index and its subdimensions on the logistics firms' logistics performance. The data is gathered from the World Bank database between 2007-2018 and the International Association of Forwarding and Logistics Service Providers sectoral databank. Variance-based structural equation modeling with regression analyses is used for measurements. Contrary to the joint logistics and supply chain literature, the results show that infrastructure and tracking sub-dimensions of Logistics Performance Index negatively relate to firms' logistics performance in Turkey.
