Abstract
Low-carbon logistics meets the requirements of a low-carbon economy and is the most effective operating model for logistic development to achieve sustainability by coping with severe energy consumption and global warming. Low-carbon logistics aims to reduce carbon intensity rather than simply reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Human resources are an important part of the great competition in the logistics market and significantly affect the operations of enterprises. Performance evaluations of human resources are particularly important for low-carbon logistics enterprises with scarce talents. Such evaluations in these enterprises are of great significance for their strategic development. This study constructed a human resource performance evaluation system to assess non-managerial employees’ low-carbon job capacity, job performance, and job attitude in the low-carbon logistics sector. The case study results revealed that the investigated company enjoyed initial success after having promoted low-carbon concepts and values to its non-managerial employees, and the success was demonstrated by excellent performance in its employees’ job attitude and knowledge. This study adopts the AHP method to reasonably determine an indicator system of performance evaluation and its weight to avoid certain human-caused bias. This study not only fills the gap in the related literature, but can also be applied to industrial practice.
Highlights
The low-carbon economy, which is based on low energy consumption, low pollution, and low emissions, is increasingly discussed because of the effects of global warming
This study study designed designed aa human human resource resource performance performance evaluation evaluation system system for for the the low-carbon logistic industry
In accordance with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) principles, the performance indicators in the low-carbon logistics industry were divided into the three aforementioned dimensions as primary indicators that were further divided into several secondary indicators
Summary
The low-carbon economy, which is based on low energy consumption, low pollution, and low emissions, is increasingly discussed because of the effects of global warming. Low-carbon logistics meets the requirements of a low-carbon economy and is the most effective operating model for logistic developments to achieve sustainability by coping with severe energy consumption and global warming [3,4]. As a high-end service industry, the logistics sector must develop digitized green logistics services to achieve a low-carbon economy. Evaluating the performance of low-carbon talent is significant for the strategic development of low-carbon logistics firms. This study constructed a human resource performance evaluation system to assess non-managerial employees’ low-carbon job capacity, job performance, and job attitude in the low-carbon logistics sector. 2. Human Resource and Performance Assessment System for Low-Carbon Logistics Industry. Enterprises require a substantial amount of capital investment to respond to the low-carbon trend, and their human resources departments must possess a strategic vision to convert the investment to increased output while forming competitive advantages for the organizations; Innovative minds.
