Purpose: The objective of this research was to determine the relationship of significance between logistics management and public transparency in the public sector in Peru.
Theoretical framework: Current literature has reported good findings on both logistics management and transparency. However, there is still much to research and learn about GL and T because it is an ever-evolving development.
Design/methodology/approach: The methodology was quantitative, using deductive and analytical methods addressing non-experimental and correlational inferences. The instrument was a survey, through an applied questionnaire to 90 public sector workers.
Findings: The results revealed that logistics management is deficient 43%, public transparency is deficient 57%, likewise, a p=0.000<0.01, Kendall's Tau-b (65%) and Spearman's Rho (67%) were reached.
Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest an agenda for future research and highlight the contributions made to logistics management and transparency.
Originality/value: the level of relationship between logistics management and public transparency is considerable positive and highly significant, which means that by complying with supply standards and stock control, the entity can provide quality information and thus the inspection office will be able to audit the transparency of the data.
