Background and objective One of the issues that logistics organizations deal with is the incidence of natural disasters. Due to the unpredictability of natural disasters and the need to deal with them quickly and correctly, the lack of motivation to acquire related knowledge in logistics organizations can adversely affect their performance. This study aims to identify the motivational criteria for acquiring logistics knowledge in natural disasters for logistics organizations.
Method This is a cross-sectional study. Participants were 20 experts from a logistics organization in Tehran, Iran, who were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods. To collect the required information, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. After identifying the motivational criteria, they were prioritized using the fuzzy DANP (DEMATEL-based analytic network process) method.
Results We identified 20 motivational criteria according to previous studies and the opinions of experts. Then, these criteria were categorized into six general groups: 1. Individual competencies of logistics staff, 2. Organizational culture, 3. Information technology, intelligence and social media, 4. Spatial and environmental conditions, 5. Career advancement and promotion and 6. Support systems.
Conclusion To motivate the acquisition of logistics knowledge in natural disasters, it is necessary to pay attention to the individual competencies of employees, organizational culture, information technology infrastructure, environmental conditions, employee career promotion and support systems.
