Abstract
New challenges about how to measure the performance of organizations have
arisen since big data can be found everywhere. In order to make proper decisions,
management needs to have strong insight into what is important to the firm and how to
improve it. This study looks into logistics companies that rely heavily upon labor as the
examples. While transportation and distribution are very important processes for
logistics companies to meet customers‟ requirements, the process of creating appropriate
measures is difficult due to the complexity of these activities. The aim of this research is
to evaluate the relationship among these key performance indicators and find out the
possible direction and coverage of improvement for such companies using hybrid
DANP1 cause-effect and Influential Network Relation Map models. We collected data
through expert questionnaires with questions based on discussions with experts
(including managers and scholars). The research results help support managers‟ decision
making for improvements in their firm and also can be applied in employee reward
systems.
