Popis: | Logistic skills are a basic requirement for employment and career development within the humanitarian logistics (HL) field. These skills are changing in various logistics functions, groups and cultures at a time when disasters are increasing globally. There has been no specific research to explore the relationship between HL skills and performance. This article develops a conceptual framework to determine the relationship between skills and performance and evaluates the framework by means of a multiple regression analysis. Data was gathered and analysed from HL practitioners working in Sri Lanka. The analysis proved that there is a positive relationship between previously researched skills and HL performance. However, this relationship only explains the performance level against certain limitations. Therefore, further research is required to find the additional skills required. This research may assist HL organisations to recruit, train and retain HL practitioners and improve HL supply chain in a disaster. |
