| dc.description.abstract | This study was carried out to examine determinants of freight transportation performance in the case of Ethio-Djibouti railway transport share company (EDR). Explanatory and descriptive research design was adopted for this study and the population was 272 employees from the case organization in Addis Ababa. The study attained 81 % of response rate and stratified sampling technique was embraced, with a structured questionnaire and interview checklist for data collection. Validity and Reliability of research instruments tests were conducted. Thus, the findings revealed that the most effect way to improve railway transport performance will be continual improvement and cost management. In addition, the level of railway transport performance was high due to better scheduling. Moreover, this study found that it needs a call for quality and cycle time improvements in surveyed organization. Further, this study revealed that for higher railway freight transport performance, the main determinant factor included technology, human factors, economic, accommodation, capacity, continual improvement, cost management, resource planning and accessibility. This study concluded that there is high level of freight transportation performance through effective utilization of technology, human factors, economic, accommodation, capacity, continual improvement, cost management, resource planning and accessibility. Thus, this study suggests that ERD provides high-quality information to serve Government, private and public industries, and the public in a manner that promotes public understanding. ERD periodically needs to review quality issues and adjusts its programs and processes to ensure continuous quality enhancement. Keywords: Performance, Railway, Transport | |
