A total of 102 questionnaires were distributed to employees under the five ESLSE target departments with 99 being returned, resulting in a response rate of 97percent. The linear combination of independent variables account, 82.4% of the variance in Supply chain performance, while extraneous variables, only shows 17.6 percent. According to Durbin-Watson Statistics the value for this data is 1.741, therefore the data is no autocorrelation or there is no issue of multicollinearity. The linear combination of the independent variables highly predicted the dependent variable SCP.Recommendations is provided for ESLSE to address the identified challenges and barriers of e-logistics, aiming to optimize supply chain performance and overall operational efficiency.
