The study aims to provide an in-depth analysis of a transportation capacity shortage issue affecting Australian logistics service providers. Transportation capacity shortage is an important issue in all transportation modes. In this study, the driver shortage is viewed as an antecedent variable to estimate the impact of transportation capacity shortage on logistics performance. This study investigates the underlying relationships between driver shortage, logistics capability, and logistics performance according to resource-based theory. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the measurement models and structural model. The empirical results illustrate that driver shortage indirectly influences logistics performance, the logistics capability is a mediator factor in the relationship between driver shortage and logistics performance in logistics service providers. We argue that this provides valuable insights for transportation capacity shortage management.
该研究旨在深入分析影响澳大利亚物流服务提供商的运输能力短缺问题。运输能力短缺是所有运输方式中的一个重要问题。在本研究中，司机短缺被视为一个先行变量，以估计运输能力短缺对物流绩效的影响。本研究根据资源基础理论，探讨司机短缺、物流能力和物流绩效之间的潜在关系。采用结构方程模型（SEM）分析测量模型和结构模型。实证结果表明，司机短缺间接影响物流绩效，物流能力是物流服务提供商中司机短缺与物流绩效关系的中介因素。我们认为，这为运输能力短缺管理提供了有价值的见解。
