Lojistik Yeteneklerin Mali Performans Üzerindeki Etkisi: Tekirdağ İlindeki Yabancı Sermayeli Üretici Firmalar Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Firmaların işlevsel yeteneklerinden olan lojistik yetenekler, günümüz iş düyasında firmaların gelişim göstermelerine katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, lojistik yeteneklerin mali performans üzerinde yarattığı etkileri araştırmaktır. Ayrıca firmaların yaşı ve büyüklüğünün performans üzerinde bir etkide bulunup bulunmadığı araştırılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında, Tekirdağ ilinde yabancı sermayeli üretici firmalarının sahip oldukları lojistik yetenekleri ile mali performans değişkenleri arası ilişkiler ele alınmıştır. Bu amaç ve kapsam doğrultusunda, bir araştırma modeli ve modele bağlı araştırma hipotezleri geliştirilmiştir. Modelde geliştirilen hipotezleri test edebilmek için araştırma kapsamında faaliyet gösteren ve tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 53 yabancı sermayeli üretici firmasında yönetici pozisyonunda çalışan 106 yöneticiye, araştırma için oluşturulan anket uygulanmıştır. Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan analizler, lojistik yeteneklerin mali performans üzerinde pozitif etkide bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca, lojistik yetenek göstergelerinin kombinasyonun sağlanarak performans üzerinde etkide bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. Özellikle lojistik yeteneklerin rekabet gücü üzerinde pozitif bir etkide bulunarak yüksek performans ediniminde önemli bir tamamlayıcı olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir.

The Effect of Logistics Capabilities on Financial Performance: A Research on Foreign-Invested Producers of Tekirdag Province

Logistics capabilities, one of the functional capabilities of businesses, are contributing to the growth of companies in today's business environment. This study aims to examine the effect of logistic capabilities on financial performance. Furthermore, it was also attempted to determine whether the firm's age and size have an effect on its financial performance. The relationships between the logistics capabilities of foreign-invested producers based in the province of Tekirdag and financial performance variables were explored within the framework of this study. A research model and several research hypotheses based on this model have been created in line with this aim and scope. For the purpose of testing the theories built in the model, a questionnaire was applied to 106 executives, who were selected via the random sampling method and who are working in managerial roles in 53 foreign-invested producers operating within the scope of the research. The data obtained were analyzed by employing the structural equation modeling method. The results of the analysis show that logistic capabilities have a positive effect on financial performance. Moreover, by providing a combination of logistics capability indicators, their effect on performance has been determined. Consequently, an inference was drawn that, logistics capabilities have a major impact on competitiveness as they are a significant contributor to high-performance.
