近年來，物流表現在一個國家內扮演相當重要的角色，隨著物流產業日漸壯大，不僅為人民帶來更多便利，更決定了國家競爭力的高低。由於物流業牽涉到貨物的進出口，而因此出現了不少賄賂與貪汙問題。而貪汙也是影響國家競爭力的一大因子，當掌權者為謀私利之時，破壞了法規也同時傷害了人民對政府的信任。台灣近年來重大貪汙案頻傳，而國內卻鮮少有探討貪汙造成之影響的文獻，因此本研究探討一國之貪汙認知、物流表現與國家競爭力三者間的關係，以彌補此研究缺口。為驗證貪汙認知對物流表現與國家競爭力的影響，本研究以物流績效指標(LPI)來衡量一國的物流表現；國家競爭力指標(GCI)來代表一國的競爭力高低並以貪汙認知指標(CPI)形成一國的貪汙程度。本研究採用了90國家與四個年度來建立追蹤資料(panel data)並以固定效果模型來進行實證分析，且深入探討貪污認知對於LPI與GCI之細項的影響。本研究結果如下：

1.物流績效正向而顯著地影響國家競爭力的高低，
2.貪汙認知對物流表現無顯著影響。然而貪污認知顯著且正向影響LPI中的海關與基礎建設兩個細項指標。
3.貪汙認知顯著而正向地影響國家競爭力，且顯著影響GCI中的體制、基礎建設、商業成熟度與創新。

Among many issues concerned by multinationals, high corruption risks hurt the national competitiveness and hinder global investors to enter in specific countries. On the other hand, extant research contended that effective national logistics management performance positively associated with national competitiveness. Few studies dealt with these three intertwined variables in national level. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationships among corruption, logistics performance and national competitiveness. This paper used secondary data collected from Transparency International, World Bank and World Economic Forum to create our data base of Corruption Performance Index (CPI), Logistics Performance Index (LPI) and Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) respectively. Hypotheses are tested using panel data on 90 countries from 2010 to 2016.

Our finding indicates that both LPI and CPI have positive impact on GCI. Although CPI is positively correlated to LPI, the influence of CPI on LPI is not statistically significant. In addition, we further analyzed the subtle influence of corruption on logistics performance and national competitiveness respectively. The results show that CPI positively affect customs and infrastructure in terms of logistics, and also positively affect institute, infrastructure, business sophistication and innovation in national competitiveness dimension. In conclusion, it appears that countries with less corruption situation or higher logistics development have better performance on national competitiveness.

There is little research specifically focusing on corruption, competitiveness and logistics performance simultaneously. Our research is obliged to bridge this gap. The paper used empirical data to verify the relationships among these crucial constructs and asserted this model, if adopted, is likely to enhance both the logistics performance and national competitiveness.
