The Specific Objectives of the study were: to identify institutional factors that influence voluntary compliance with PPA; to identify human behavioral factors that influence voluntary compliance with PPA; and to establish relationship between the identified factors and voluntary compliance with PPA. The study employed both probability and non-probability sampling procedures. Convenience sampling technique was employed to single out ten (10) Government Ministries involved with engineering services, all based in Dar es Salaam. From each Ministry, officials were picked randomly to make the study samples. The study involved 180 respondents. Data analysis was conducted with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 16 by using regression and correlation techniques. Model findings confirmed a significant correlation between voluntary compliance and; competency, age above 50 years, high income economic class, female gender, motivation and salary. The Government leadership should incorporate these factors to bring up voluntary compliance so that with time, a proper mix of voluntary and enforcement approaches would be attained for sustainable compliance with legal requirements in public procurement.enGovernment purchasingProcurement managementPublic procurement ActThesis
