This paper aims to explore the perceived impact of packaging logistics on the efficiency of freight transportation (EOT), and examine the interaction and relationship between packaging logistics and EOT.
The paper set up the conceptual model with seven hypotheses from the findings of previous literatures, and this model was tested with data and SEM.
The paper provided empirical insights about the perceived impact of packaging logistics on EOT and clarified the relative impact levels in the relationship between packaging logistics and EOT.
In spite of the chosen research approach, the perceived impact of information system on EOT may lack generalisability. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the proposed propositions in further studies.
Findings of this study can be used by practioners to improve EOT and by researchers to investigate further studies.
The paper fulfilled a need from previous literatures to clarify the interaction and relationship between packaging logistics and EOT.
