Resumo(s)
The study analyses the relationships between the characterisation
factors and the operational performance of ports. The research model, based on
performance theory, suggests the existence of a set of relationships between
several factors that characterise ports, and argues that they influence the ports’
operational performance. Drawing on path analysis methodology supported by
structural equation modelling (SEM), the results obtained from a sample of 43
of the largest European ports indicate that relationships between location,
specialisation, size, shipping services and infrastructure, and operational
performance do exist. The study also identifies the independent and mediating
variables.
