Abstract: The general objective of this study was to assess the effect of transport management practices on organizational performance in Rwanda. The researcher conducted both descriptive and correlational studies. Descriptive survey research uses surveys to collect information on a variety of issues and correlational studies research design examines the links that exist between variables under the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 was used in the study. The unstandardized coefficient for Transport Scheduling was 0.429, indicating that for each one-unit increase in transport scheduling, organizational performance is expected to increase by 0.429, if all other variables remain constant. The significance level for this coefficient (Sig. = 0.000) illustrates that this relationship is highly statistically significant, indicating a strong effect of transport scheduling on organizational performance. For Transport Route Planning, the unstandardized coefficient is 0.335, which means that for every one-unit increase in transport route planning, organizational performance is expected to increase by 0.335, with all other factors held constant. The significance of this coefficient is also 0.000, denoting a highly statistically significant positive relationship with organizational performance. Finally, the unstandardized coefficient for Transport Tracking is 0.187. This indicates that an increase of one unit in transport tracking is associated with an increase of 0.187 in organizational performance, assuming all other variables are constant. The study recommended that Dubai Ports World Rwanda should conduct regular training sessions for staff to improve their logistics skills.
