    Organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of electronic-procurement projects: a case study of local government in west Nile
    (Makerere University Business School Institutional Repository, 2020-12-21) Alwayo Flavia Bella
    The study was conducted to examine the relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. The study sought to determine the extent e-procurement projects implementation is attributed to organizational factors and ICT infrastructure. The study used a cross sectional survey design where 144 usable questionnaires were used to collect the data and was analyzed using SPSS version 25. Pearson correlation and regression analysis were used to determine the degree of relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects in West Nile local governments. Findings of the study revealed a significant positive relationship between organizational factors, ICT infrastructure and implementation of e-procurement projects. The regression analysis results show that organizational factors and ICT infrastructure predicts 47.4% of the observed variance in e-procurement project implementation. This implies that there are other predictors of eprocurement implementation besides organizational factors and ICT infrastructure; thus, further research is called for to find the other predictors of e-procurement project implementation in addition to what is already in place.

    Technological, organizational, and environmental factors on the technology readiness of humanitarian organizations for digital cash assistance
    (Makerere University Business School, 2025-11-14) Leeke, Samuel
    This study aimed to explore the relationship between technology factors, organizational factors, environmental factors, and the technology readiness of humanitarian organizations. A sample size of 165 humanitarian organizations in Kampala was targeted, and complete responses were received from 55 organizations, resulting in an 84.6% response rate. The study employed a cross-sectional design with a quantitative approach. The objectives were to assess the relationship between technology factors and technology readiness, examine the relationship between organizational factors and technology readiness, and determine the relationship between environmental factors and technology readiness. The findings highlighted the importance of contextual factors in shaping technology readiness. Based on the positive results from the regression analysis, several recommendations were made to enhance technology readiness in humanitarian organizations. These recommendations included focusing on contextual factors that include strengthening government support, addressing competitive pressure, fostering external partnerships, and engaging local communities. By paying attention to these recommendations, humanitarian organizations can enhance their technology readiness and effectively leverage digital cash-based assistance to support their missions and deliver aid more efficiently and effectively. This research contributes to the understanding of the factors influencing technology readiness in the humanitarian sector and provides practical insights for organizations seeking to improve their technological capabilities.
