“…The data are collected by a team of trade policy experts and are based on official documents (e.g., a government decree and an official budget speech) whenever possible. Given its comprehensiveness and comparability across countries, the database has been used to measure the incidence of non-tariff measures and the level of protectionism (Datt, Hoekman, and Malouche, 2011;Disdier, Fontagné, and Tresa, 2021;Kinzius, Sandkamp, and Yalcin, 2019). Juhász and others (2022) and Evenett and others (2024) also employ the GTA data as a source of information on industrial policies.…”

“…Employee performance concerns all managers because it is central to the survival and success of organisations of all types. The performance of public procurement professionals is even more important because it deals with a function which takes a large part of government expenditure for purchasing goods, works, and services required for public programmes and projects (Disdier, Fontagné, & Tresa, 2021). For example, in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, the expenditure on public procurement increased to 12.6% in 2019 from 11.8% in 2008 (OECD, 2021), while in Ethiopia, it takes 64% of the government budget (Dorasamy, 2021).…”

Training and career development have been considered to improve employee performance because better-quality human capital is vital in enhancing employee performance. This study analysed the influence of training on the performance of public procurement professionals when mediated by career development in Tanzania. The study used a cross-sectional research design involving 204 public procurement professionals from Dodoma city in Tanzania. The study applied Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) as a part of Covariance Based-Structural Equation Modelling (CB-SEM) and Hayes' PROCESS macro to analyse the data and determine the relationship between the training and performance of public procurement professionals when mediated by career development in Tanzania. The results show that training and career development determine the performance of public procurement professionals. Training facilitates the career development of public procurement professionals, whereas career development mediates the relationship between training and the performance of public procurement professionals. This study only considers training and career development, among other aspects of human resource development practices. This excludes the other human resource development practices in public organisations. This study brings together human resource development concepts (training and career development) and the performance of public procurement professionals. Thus, it adds value to the literature on human resource management concerning the performance of public procurement professionals.

“…The public procurement function is a government function that involves the acquisition of goods, services and works to meet public needs. The function comprises a large portion of the government's budget (Disdier et al, 2021). For instance, in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, public procurement expenditure has increased by nearly 1% of GDP from 2008 to 2019 (OECD, 2021).…”

PurposeHuman resource development (HRD) has been considered in enhancing organisational operations as human resources are vital for organisational performance. This study aims to examine the role of HRD on the effectiveness of public procurement in Tanzania.Design/methodology/approachThis study employed a cross-sectional research design under which data was collected from 168 procurement professionals in Dodoma city, Tanzania. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to analyse the collected data and examine the structural relationships between HRD and the effectiveness of public procurement in Tanzania.FindingsThe findings revealed that all the variables of human resource development; career development, training and performance appraisal, are statistically significant and positively related to the effectiveness of public procurement. Therefore, the findings reveal that career development, training and performance appraisal as HRD practices play an important role in enhancing the effectiveness of public procurement in the surveyed public procuring organisations in Tanzania.Research limitations/implicationsThis current study divides HRD into three main practices: career development, training and performance appraisal. This limits the study's applicability to other HRD practices that organisations may institutionalize to public procurement professionals who work in various public organisations in Tanzania.Originality/valueThis paper integrates the concept of HRD and public procurement effectiveness. Therefore, the study adds value to the literature on human resource management and public procurement management.
