Purpose This study, against the backdrop of the city of Wuhan, China, where COVID-19 first appeared, examines the factors that affect the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency logistics through empirical research on relief organizations that support Wuhan, China, during the fight against COVID-19. This study also studies how the government’s control situation affects the effectiveness and efficiency of emergency logistics. Design/Methodology/Approach We employed a quantitative research method using survey data collected in Wuhan, China. This paper tested five hypotheses which assumes the effect of transportation system, inter-organizational cooperation, emergency logistics center location and demand and inventory management on the emergency logistics performance. In addition, we also examined a moderating role of government control on those hypothesized relationships. Findings We found that transportation system, inter-organizational cooperation, emergency logistics center location and demand and inventory management affected the emergency logisitcs performance positively, and government control have moderated those reloationships partially. Research Implications This findings may give meaningful insights on successful management of emergency logistics in Korea.
