The qualitative descriptive method was used with a post-positivism approach to examine the object of the research, namely the procurement of goods/services based on technology systems. The data collection used includes interviews, observations, and document studies. The occurrence of disruption in the administration of government in e-procurement which was realised in the procurement of campaign props, the realisation of good governance through the involvement of the private sector and the community in government activities, was the application of reinventing government the application of the government's entrepreneurial spirit. This research focused on the procurement of campaign props, and discuss procurement that occurs in the province of Bali. The results of this paper contribute to the government's improvement of the implementation of e-procurement by increasing the involvement of the private sector and optimising the participation of the community in monitoring. The occurrence of disruption of government administration, emphasises disruptive leaders, disruptive bureaucrats, and disruptive mindsets.

It would improve the performance and retention of employees by the mediating effect of employee engagement, which is a critical and yet under explored antecedent of their effectiveness. This research adopted a constructed model based on research conducted through surveys. Data was collected from 425 supervisors in the petroleum retailing sector in Jordan. To run the measurement model and structural model, Smart-PLS was used. The findings confirm the hypotheses using PLS-SEM and demonstrate that transformational leadership (TSFL) and laissez-faire (LF) are significantly and positively related to employee retention (ER) and performance (EP), which are mediated by employee engagement (EE). The positive leadership of supervisors indicates that they feel engaged with the organisation's overall vision, which improves their followers' levels of performance. Leaders in petroleum retailing need to recognise that improving EP can be done by focusing on employee conditions to foster a sense of closeness and engagement among employees. Research can also be undertaken by examining issues related to leadership styles, EE, EP, and retention in other sectors as a comparison.

A cross sectional and quantitative research design was used whereby primary data was collected from 80 health units using self-structured questionnaires. Data was analysed using SPSS Version 20 and mediation determined in Medgraph using Sobel test based on Baron and Kenny (1986) guidelines. The findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between the constructs of IT integration, sourcing flexibility and supply chain agility. Sobel test indicate that sourcing flexibility mediates the relationship between IT integration and supply chain agility (Sobel z-value = 3.798, p = 0.000). Hence, to improve the supply chain's agility, measurement indicators of sourcing flexibility (supplier lead-time, expedition and number of components) should be given attention, as they are key interactive factors in ARVs' distribution.

Data were sourced from 126 respondents using a questionnaire. The extent of stakeholders' procurement deficiencies was ascertained by using the significance index. The study found bureaucratic bidding process, frequent order variations, corruption, non-compliance with contractual terms, use of inappropriate procurement methods and inexperienced contractors and consultants as the critical stakeholders' procurement deficiencies facing construction projects. About 52.2% of the surveyed projects revealed cost and time overruns by 29.33% and 33.6% respectively due to one or more stakeholders' procurement deficiencies. This article informs policymakers, scholars and oversight authorities on the stakeholders' procurement deficiencies affecting projects' cost and time which have not been systematically researched in Tanzania. The study's findings are confined to Tanzania's context and thus should not be regarded the same in other places and from non-procurement perspectives.

Sustainable circular supplier selection addresses the sustainability practices in the context of circular economy. This study proposed a sustainable circular supplier selection model using fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory technique to determine the interrelationships between the criteria. The evaluation criteria are classified into four categories of economic, environment, social, and circular and evaluated by experts from industry using pairwise comparison. the results indicate that the criteria 'environmental management system' is the most important. Moreover, 'financial stability' and 'green technology' are the most influential criteria over the other criteria, on the other hand, 'cost' is mostly influenced by other factors. This study recommends further integration with other MCDM techniques to select and rank the best alternatives (suppliers) based on our proposed criteria.
查看更多>>摘要：The study investigates how compliance with the public procurement regulatory framework improves the implementation of SME policy. Prior studies have reported varied findings on how policy familiarity, professionalism, sanctions and monitoring influence compliance. The research tested the hypotheses using multiple regression analysis and mediation with bootstrapping procedure on a sample of 104 public buyers. The results showed that policy monitoring and sanctions significantly influence compliance. However, policy familiarity and professionalism were not statistically significant. The results also show that the relationship between policy monitoring and SME policy implementation is mediated by compliance. Similarly, the relationship between the enforcement of sanctions and SME policy implementation is significantly mediated by compliance. Whereas the existing literature in public procurement research focuses on achieving primary objectives such as a competitive price, this study concentrates on public buyers' regulatory compliance and implementation of secondary goals such as SME-oriented policies.

The study is guided by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT), which proposes four factors: performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and facilitating conditions (FC). The study also suggests anxiety as an adverse moderator. A quantitative-deductive causal approach based on cross-sectional data was adopted. Using a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected from (n = 411) participants in Jordan. SEM-AMOS was used to conduct statistical analysis. Findings reported that factors of UTAUT, along with anxiety, explained (R2 = 50%) of the variance in behavioural intention (BI). PE was the strongest determinant (49%), whereas EE was not seen to achieve a significant effect. The moderator, anxiety, was partially supported. Following the gathered results, implications were provided.
