Abstract
The purpose of the study is to develop and test an integrated
compliance model using constructs derived from the legitimacy, deterrence,
institutional and stewardship theories. A Cross-sectional survey design was
used to collect data from a sample of 97 out of the population of 129
Procuring and Disposing Entities which are regulated by the Public
Procurement and Disposal of Assets Authority Act (PPDA). Measurement
items were derived from a critical review of literature and found to be both
valid and reliable with Cronbach Alpha coefficient of 0.7. The findings reveal
that legitimacy and stewardship behavior are significant predictors of
compliance to the PPDA Act, Rules and Regulations. We therefore
recommend that Procuring and Disposing Entities should continue
legitimizing the procurement law through involvement of all stakeholders
and promote stewardship behaviors among public employees.
