Abstract

This study examines the moderating effect of procurement regulatory compliance on the relationship between staff competency and job performance of public procurement professionals. The study involved cross-sectional data collected from 226 procurement professionals working in procuring entities in Morogoro and Dodoma, regions in Tanzania. The collected data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model. The findings revealed that staff competence is a positive determinant of the job performance of procurement professionals. Furthermore, procurement regulatory compliance and job performance are significantly related. On the other hand, procurement regulatory compliance is not a significant moderator of the relationship between staff competence and job performance. Public procurement professionals are urged to be more competent and enhance procurement regulatory compliance. This can be achieved through training and career development programs. Procurement staff can more effectively navigate complex regulatory environments and hence improving performance.
