ABSTRACT
This study examines the influence of logistics and supply chain factors on income support and income outcomes among members of the Uptown Vendors Association. A quantitative descriptive -correlational research design was employed using a structured survey questionnaire administered to 100 vendors. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, Pearson product-moment correlation, regression analysis, and ANOVA. Results showed that most respondents with long years of operation, diversified suppliers, and moderate monthly income, and majority relied on personal savings as capital. Logistics and supply chain practices, particularly supplier reliability, inventory sufficiency, and delivery efficiency, were rated high. Correlation analysis revealed a strong positive relationship between deliveries and mobilization and income outcomes (r=0.78), and between income support mechanisms and income outcomes (r=0.71). Regression analysis indicated that logistics and supply chain factors significantly predicted income outcomes (R=0.82, R²=0.67, F=18.64, p<.05). The findings suggest that improved logistical coordination and association support enhances income stability and sales performance.
