Green Logistics Practices and Perceived Organisational Sustainability at Kabisa Electric in Rwanda

Organisational sustainability in electric mobility depends on the practices supporting vehicle operations, component sourcing and battery management. This study examined the associations of electric transportation efficiency, green procurement of electric-vehicle components, and waste and battery recycling management with perceived organisational sustainability at Kabisa Electric in Rwanda. Guided by the Triple Bottom Line, Resource-Based View and Stakeholder perspectives, the study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. From a target population of 306 employees, a sample of 173 was determined using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Stratified random and convenience sampling were employed, and 160 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a 92.5% response rate. Data were collected using four eight-item Likert scales and analysed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression in SPSS Version 27. All three practices were positively correlated with perceived sustainability: transportation efficiency (r = .525), green procurement (r = .485) and recycling management (r = .431), all p < .01. Their adjusted associations were also significant: β = .340, p < .001; β = .225, p = .004; and β = .199, p = .007, respectively. The joint model explained 37.3% of the variation in perceived sustainability, F(3, 156) = 30.965, p < .001. Transportation efficiency had the largest standardized coefficient. The study concludes that the three practices are positively associated with perceived sustainability, although cross-sectional self-reports preclude causal inference. It recommends coordinated fleet operations, stronger supplier assessments and traceable battery management, supported by objective performance records.

Abstract

Organisational sustainability in electric mobility depends on the practices supporting vehicle operations, component sourcing and battery management. This study examined the associations of electric transportation efficiency, green procurement of electric-vehicle components, and waste and battery recycling management with perceived organisational sustainability at Kabisa Electric in Rwanda. Guided by the Triple Bottom Line, Resource-Based View and Stakeholder perspectives, the study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. From a target population of 306 employees, a sample of 173 was determined using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Stratified random and convenience sampling were employed, and 160 usable questionnaires were returned, yielding a 92.5% response rate. Data were collected using four eight-item Likert scales and analysed through descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression in SPSS Version 27. All three practices were positively correlated with perceived sustainability: transportation efficiency (r = .525), green procurement (r = .485) and recycling management (r = .431), all p < .01. Their adjusted associations were also significant: β = .340, p < .001; β = .225, p = .004; and β = .199, p = .007, respectively. The joint model explained 37.3% of the variation in perceived sustainability, F(3, 156) = 30.965, p < .001. Transportation efficiency had the largest standardized coefficient. The study concludes that the three practices are positively associated with perceived sustainability, although cross-sectional self-reports preclude causal inference. It recommends coordinated fleet operations, stronger supplier assessments and traceable battery management, supported by objective performance records.
