Abstract

This study examined the relationship between strategic procurement practices and organizational performance in the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) in South-South Nigeria. Using a correlational survey design, data were collected from 77 SPIU staff via structured questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive statistics and linear regression. The results indicate that effective procurement planning significantly improves organizational efficiency (R² = 0.989, B = 1.024, β = 0.994, p = 0.000), highlighting the importance of prioritizing procurement planning as a strategic tool for achieving sustainable performance in public infrastructure projects. Policymakers and project managers should prioritize procurement planning as a strategic instrument for ensuring sustainable efficiency outcomes in similar infrastructural programs. Managers should prioritize SRM initiatives, as they yield measurable improvements in delivery timelines, quality, and stakeholder trust. The study provides insight for managers to adopt digital procurement tools for optimal utilization of resources to minimize waste and boost performance outcomes and project sustainability. This study enriches existing literature on procurement and performance by constructing a regression model that empirically quantifies the strength of procurement planning’s impact (R² = 0.989, β = 0.994) using context-specific data from RAAMP, thereby providing a data-driven perspective on how strategic procurement practices enhance organizational efficiency.

Abstract

Limited knowledge and awareness on green procurement policies among procurement officers, end users, and suppliers constitute obstacles to its effective implementation. The study investigates the relationship between product life cycle monitoring and real- time data sharing in Nigerian Maritime University. The total population of the study comprised of 1,252 employees, and sample size was determined using taro Yamane formula and calculated as 303. The study employed a descriptive survey research design, and a stratified random sampling technique in the distribution of the survey to ensure optimum allocation of survey to each stratum. The study population includes: procurement officers, internal auditors, logistics managers, administrative staff, and heads of departments. Out of 303 questionnaires distributed only 281 were returned and utilized while the remaining 22 were not returned and utilized for the study. Statistical tools such as descriptive, inferential statistics, and linear regression were used to analyze the hypotheses at 5 % significant level. The findings showed that the combined use of life cycle assessment and real-time visibility has a significant impact on better organizational and environmental performance. The study recommend that university management should organize regular training programmes to improve skill development of lecturers, researchers, technical staff, and students on LCA software (e.g., SimaPro, OpenLCA, GaBi) and real-time visibility technologies.
