DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES AND PERFORMANCE OF LOGISTICS COMPANIES IN MOMBASA COUNTY, KENYA
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of dynamic capabilities on performance of logistics companies in Mombasa County, Kenya. Specifically, the study sought to examine the influence of managerial capability and marketing capability on performance of logistics companies in Mombasa County, Kenya. The theoretical framework was informed by the resource-based theory, dynamic capability and managerial capability theory. The study employed the correlational, cross-sectional survey research design to test non-causal relationships between the study variables. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was utilized to select a sample size of 231 logistics companies from a target population of 546 logistics companies in Mombasa County, Kenya. A pilot study was conducted to ascertain the validity and reliability of the survey questionnaire. A structured self-administered survey questionnaire was used as the means of collecting primary data. The collected data was processed and entered into the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26 to create a data sheet for analysis. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Pearson’s correlation results indicated that managerial capability and marketing capability had positive and significant relationship with the performance of logistics companies in Mombasa County, Kenya. Regression results indicated that managerial capability and marketing capability had positive and significant influence on the performance of logistics companies in Mombasa County, Kenya. The study recommended that the managers and practitioners within the logistics industry should implement the dynamic capabilities to foster performance of logistics companies. Policymakers in the logistics industry should initiate policy review to encourage managers and practitioners to implement dynamic capabilities to foster the performance of logistics companies. The study recommended intriguing areas for further research. Future research should examine the influence of dynamic capabilities on firm performance with environmental turbulence as a moderator in other sectors or contexts.
