The Relationship Between Strategic Management and the Efficiency of Jordanian Maritime Transport (Application to the Port of Aqaba)

Abstract

Abstract

This study objectivs to achieve several objectives that contribute to understanding the relationship between strategic management and maritime transport efficiency in the Jordanian port of Aqaba. Thus, the study seeks to understand the nature of the relationship between strategic management and maritime transport efficiency. And to understand the nature of the impact of the strategic management applied by the Jordanian port of Aqaba on the level of maritime transport efficiency in the port in terms of the information system, the number of ships and containers, the movement of goods, and the waiting time in the port. The literature related to strategic management and maritime transport efficiency will be reviewed to determine the relationship between them for the port. A descriptive analytical research approach was adopted for the benefit of the current study. The study was conducted in the Jordanian port of Aqaba, by surveying the opinions of a sample of port pioneers and workers, about the extent of applying strategic management in the port and the extent of its efficiency in Jordanian maritime transport operations. The results revealed the following:

• Strategic management affects the efficiency of maritime transport in the Jordanian port of Aqaba, as it was found that there is a statistically significant relationship between strategic management and improving the efficiency of seaports, with an average​​Arithmetic (53) and standard deviation(0.845)At a significant level(0.05*).


• It is also clear that the average​​The general dimensions reached its value (53) , the value is high On a Likert scale.

In the first place came the dimension (The port uses information technology to provide various related services High quality) with arithmetic average (2.80 ) and standard deviation(0.512), In the last order came the dimension (The port provides appropriate security and safety standards for all types of ships She hesitates to him) on average​​Arithmetic (2.39) and standard deviation(0.865).
