“…In the study by Ibem et al [16], the digital technologies that aid the use of e-Procurement systems in the Nigerian construction industry were identified. The digital technologies mostly used were emails by construction stakeholders rather than a custom or third-party web-based/cloud procurement system.…”

Previous research works on the integration of e-Procurement technologies in the construction process in Nigeria showed that it has been slow and low. However, there are few empirical studies on the duration for which it has permeated the construction industry, the actual proponents and the metrics that can engender successful integration of e-Procurement technologies, applications, and tools in the construction procurement process, especially in a developing country like Nigeria. The study was aimed at evaluating the critical success factors (CSFs) for e-Procurement adoption in the Nigerian construction industry. The study was carried out in the six geo-political zones in Nigeria using a survey research design. Construction stakeholders were selected using purposive and random sampling techniques. A total of 1092 questionnaires were retrieved in this study, but the data of 759 actual users of e-Procurement systems were analyzed in this study using descriptive statistics and principal component analysis (PCA). An assessment of the duration users have been participating in the e-Procurement environment revealed that most Quantity Surveyors have been exposed to the use of e-Procurement technologies for over 10 years. A large proportion of the construction stakeholders picked up the use of the technology within the last 5 years. Further analysis showed that contracting firms have the largest participation in the use of e-Procurement systems. The study also revealed that construction stakeholders perceived the availability of reliable, affordable, and fast Internet services as the most critical success factor for the adoption of e-Procurement technologies. The critical success factors (CSFs) were further classified into management support for physical infrastructure, and human factors and characteristics of the technology. The study showed that these critical success factors (CSFs) are crucial for the adoption of e-Procurement systems in the Nigerian construction industry. The study recommended that there is still a need for increased awareness of the e-Procurement tools and technologies and the benefits that are accrued from their use among public sector construction participants. This will in turn influence the provision of the required information and communication technology (ICT) physical infrastructure and formulation of appropriate policies and standards for successful e-Procurement integration in the Nigerian construction industry.

“…The scale of measurement used in section B was 3-point Likert type scale: “1” for Never Used , “2” for Used Sometimes , and “3” for Used Always . Previous studies [10] , [11] have also used this scale The third section (Section C) had questions on the advantages that come with the use of the aforementioned categories of digital technologies in the delivery of building projects, while the fourth section (Section D) was used to collect data on the challenges experienced with the use of digital technologies in the delivery of building projects. In these last two sections of the questionnaire, the scale of measurement used was 5-point Likert type scale ranging from “1” for Strongly Disagree , to “5” for Strongly Agree .…”

“…In these last two sections of the questionnaire, the scale of measurement used was 5-point Likert type scale ranging from “1” for Strongly Disagree , to “5” for Strongly Agree . Other authors have used the aforementioned scale of measurement in previous research works [11] , [12] , [13] . At the pre-testing stage of the questionnaire, Cronbach׳s Alpha test was used to investigate the reliability of this scale of measurement used for the 17 items in Section C and 11 items in Section D. The tests returned values: 0.942 and 0.753 for the items in Sections C and D, respectively.…”

Survey data on digitalization of building procurement process by architectural firms in Abuja, Nigeria

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This data article describes the dataset on the digital technologies and applications used by architectural firms in the delivery of building projects. The data set was sourced through a questionnaire survey of 75 registered architectural firms in Abuja, Nigeria. The survey was conducted between December 2017 and January 2018 in the study area. The data, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, contain the characteristics of architectural firms in Abuja that participated in the survey, the different stand-alone and integrated data acquisition, creation, processing, storage and communication/exchange technologies, applications and tools and intelligent systems the firms use in building procurement process. In addition, the advantages and challenges associated with the use of digital technologies in the procurement of building projects by architectural firms in the study area are also presented in this dataset.

“…Previous researches (Straub, 2009;Zolait et al, 2009) argue that this intention is a good predictor of the use of technology. Other studies have also used construction intentions in predicting the use of behavioral technologies such as intent to use (Armitage & Conner, 2011), behavioral intentions (Majdalaweih et al, 2008Aguiar & Reis, 2008;Ibem et al, 2018) and the intention to use behavior (Yasin et al, 2018). H1: Intention towards e-procurement has a positive effect on the usage behavior of eprocurement…”

“…The adoption of e-procurement has been conducted in various countries around the world. The United States, Britain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, are the countries that have adopted e-procurement (Ibem et al, 2018;Saastamoinen et al, 2018). The United States was one of the first developed countries to adopt e-procurement in 2000.…”

The main purpose of this paper is to examine empirically the influence of organizational factors on the adoption of e-procurement in government institutions.The research design used is a survey research. This study examines theoretical models involving 185 respondents from 130 work units of all local government agencies in Central Java, Indonesia. Data analysis was done by using structural equation to know influence of organization value in e-procurement adoption process in government institution. The result of the research shows that organizational polychronicity values influence the behavior of e-procurement. Characteristics of dynamic organizational functions and tasks directly enhance the use of e-procurement behavior. Another finding, the learning organization has an effect on the e-procurement intention. The ability or capacity of the organization provides an opportunity for individuals to do individual learning will further activate the process of adoption of various applications of e-procurement. An important result of this study is that organizational value is one of the main determinants of successful adoption of technology. The findings of this study provide insight into the importance of organizational value in supporting the successful implementation of e-procurement.
