dc.description.abstract | Procurement is known as a substantial instrument in both public and private sector
organisations. However, the manual procurement system creates considerable
issues, and it can affect the country. Therefore, the countries are tempted to
implement the E-Government Procurement (E-GP) system since it helps to generate
an income more effectively. E-procurement was built to reduce corruption and
conspiracies, increase public accountability, and enable the purchase of goods and
services in a more effective, efficient, and affordable manner. The main purpose of
this study is to measure the relationship between E-GP implementation and
technology, organisational and environmental factors. The population for this study
included procurement divisions in Departments, State Managed Boards, Authorities,
Commissions, Corporations, Bureaus, Institutes and Institutions, and Government
Banks. Data were collected via a cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey.
Relevant respondents were chosen from a sample of 162 firms using a convenient
and random sampling techniques. This resulted in an overall response rate of 43%.
This study uses quantitative research methods to identify the variables affecting the
adoption of e-procurement. All variables from technology, organizational and
environmental contexts are positively correlated with the dependent variable of E GP implementation. Results revealed that human capacity and awareness was the
most important factor. This study suggests further researches to determine other
independent factors which influence implementation of electronic procurement. | en_US |
