Road Transport Efficiency and Organizational Performance: Does Traffic Infrastructure Management Matter?

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the relationships between road transport efficiency and organizational performance. In addition, the investigation explored the intermediary function of traffic infrastructure management in the relationship between road transport efficiency and organizational performance. A study model was built, drawing on a resource-based approach and stakeholder theories, to investigate the interactions between the constructs. The data was collected from a sample of 30 logistics enterprises located in Ghana. The research model underwent analysis utilizing the partial least squares structural equation modeling technique. The results of the study indicate that there is a strong and statistically significant relationship between road transport efficiency and organizational performance. Once more, the analysis has demonstrated a favorable impact of traffic infrastructure management on the performance of organizations. Furthermore, the management of transportation infrastructure has shown a noteworthy and substantial role in mediating the impact on organizational performance.
