Abstract

The purposes of this research were to (1) study the level of executives’ inclusive leadership in logistics service providers; (2) study the relationship and influence of executives' inclusive leadership on success in logistics service providers; (3) study the level of management skills of executives in logistics service providers; and (4) study the relationship and influence of the management skills of executives on the success of logistics service providers. The sample consists of the company's top executives, such as the owner, executive chairman, or managers, for 340 people. The variables used in the study consist of three latent variables: the latent variable for business success, the leadership of executives, and 21st century management skills. Data were collected using both paper-based and online questionnaires. Statistics used to analyze the data were percentage, mean, standard deviation, frequency distribution, one-sample t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and path analysis using structural equation model techniques. The results showed executives of logistics service providers had a high level of inclusive leadership. Inclusive leadership did not have a positive correlation with success for logistics service providers. Inclusive leadership had an indirect effect on the success of logistics service providers. Executives of logistics service providers had high levels of 21st-century management skills. Management skills of executives in the 21st century had a positive correlation with the success of logistics service providers, and management skills had a direct effect on the success of logistics service providers.
