    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;This research aims to examine factors affecting public procurement performance in Ethiopia: the&lt;br&gt;
case of Public Procurement and Property Disposal Services. Based on literature reviews, the&lt;br&gt;
researcher identified four factors that affect the procurement performance. These includes:&lt;br&gt;
procurement planning, unethical practices, competency of staff, procurement procedure and&lt;br&gt;
Information Communication Technology on procurement. The hypothesis of the study was the&lt;br&gt;
procurement factors (independent variables) affect the procurement performance (dependent&lt;br&gt;
variable) of PPPDS. The research design is made based on descriptive and explanatory research&lt;br&gt;
approaches. The researcher distributed 116 questionnaires and 97 were filled and returned.&lt;br&gt;
Both primary and secondary data were used throughout this research. For primary data, both&lt;br&gt;
structured and semi structured type questionnaires were prepared. The results of this study&lt;br&gt;
indicate that the independent variables (Procurement Planning, Competency of Staff,&lt;br&gt;
Procurement Procedure and Information Communication Technology) positively affect the&lt;br&gt;
dependent variable (procurement performance) to a significant extent. These factors explain&lt;br&gt;
85.9% of procurement performance, while the rest 14.1% is explained by other factors which are&lt;br&gt;
not subject of this study&lt;/p&gt;</description>
