dc.description.abstractThe study examined the influence of supplier selection on the procurement performance of pharmaceutical manufacturing firms. Specifically, the study examined: (i) the relationship between supplier profile and procurement performance; (ii) supplier capabilities and procurement performance; and (iii) supplier’s strategic fit to the organization and procurement performance. A cross-sectional survey design with a quantitative approach in generating the required information was used. A population of 85 pharmaceutical manufacturing firms was identified for Kampala from the National Drug Authority register and a sample size of 70 was derived at using a sample determination table. Data were collected using survey questionnaires. All the statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS software package version 25. The results revealed that supplier profile had a positive linear relationship with procurement performance (r=0.701, p<0.05) as was the case with supplier capabilities (r=0.659, P<0.05) and supplier’s strategic fit (r=0.510, P<0.05). This was a clear indicator that supplier profile, supplier capabilities and supplier’s strategic fit as separate independent variables have a positive effect on procurement performance a dependent variable. Of the three variables, supplier profile was the most significant contributor to procurement performance β = .410, followed by supplier capabilities β = .288 while supplier strategic fit contributed to procurement performance β = .210. The study recommends that to improve procurement performance there is need to prioritize a comprehensive supplier selection and profiling process.
