Survey data: definining and measuring communication flexibility for smart logistics

This is a survey data set that holds all respondents' responses in our questionnaire survey. The primary aim of this survey was to statistically test a structural equation model of IT flexibility and its direct & indirect impact on firm performance. The questionnaire was divided into five sections (A-E). Section A is to provide the respondents’ organisation and the types of ICT utilised. Section B provides a list of questions covering the three types of IT flexibility by which respondents have to provide responses via a 7-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Questions in Section C are indicators of a construct (Process Integration Capability) while Section D is about firm performance. Finally Section E asks the general background information of the respondents themselves.

本数据集收录了本次问卷调查中所有受访对象的应答结果。本次调查的核心目标为通过统计方法检验信息技术灵活性（IT flexibility）的结构方程模型，及其对企业绩效的直接与间接影响效应。本次调查问卷共分为A至E五个模块：模块A用于收集受访对象所在组织及所使用的信息通信技术（ICT，Information and Communications Technology）类型相关信息；模块B包含针对三类信息技术灵活性的调研问题，受访对象需通过从完全同意至完全不同意的7级李克特量表（Likert scale）进行作答；模块C的问题为构念「流程整合能力」（Process Integration Capability）的观测指标，模块D则用于调研企业绩效相关内容；最后，模块E用于收集受访对象本人的基本背景信息。
