| dc.description.abstract | This study focuses on evaluating the factors influencing the adoption of electronic procurement systems in Tanzanian procuring entities. Specifically, the research aimed to investigate the impact of organizational factors, technological infrastructure, and environmental issues on the adoption of e-procurement in public procuring entities. The study employed a case study research design, with the Tanzania Institute of Accountancy (TIA) head office as the selected study area. A purposive sample of 74 respondents was chosen from the population, and data was gathered using structured questionnaires. To analyze the relationships between the dependent and independent variables, the study utilized multiple regression and correlation analysis. The findings indicated a positive and significant correlation between organizational factors, technological infrastructure, and environmental issues in the adoption of e-procurement by public procuring entities. The study concludes that organizational factors, technological infrastructure, and environmental considerations are pivotal determinants for the adoption of e-procurement in public procuring entities. As a recommendation, the study suggests that the government, particularly through the Ministry of Finance, should enhance organizational factors by ensuring adequate resource allocation to facilitate the successful adoption of e-procurement practices. | en_US |
