Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between personality traits and service quality perceptions of the employees of logistics organisations. This study administered the Big-Five scale to derive the measurements of personality traits and the SERVQUAL (RATER) scale to measure service quality perception. Data for this study were collected through an online (web-based) survey from personnel of many logistics organisations in South Korea. The results of this study confirm that correlations between these variables are statistically significant. This study provides additional insights about the relationships and practical applications of these variables. Recommendations are made for the strategic integration of marketing and human resource management practices.
