Problems and Guidelines for Developing Supplies Work

Abstract

This research investigates the issues and development guidelines for procurement management. The study aimed to assess the challenges in procurement management and propose strategies for improvement. The sample consisted of 77 personnel, including 55 academic staff and 22 support staff, all involved in various procurement functions such as specification preparation, pricing, inspection, and supply control. Data were collected through questionnaires covering general procurement issues, development guidelines, and open-ended suggestions. The findings revealed significant concerns in procurement management, particularly in the areas of supply control (mean = 3.98), supply maintenance (mean = 3.95), supply distribution (mean = 3.93), and procurement itself (mean = 3.81). Statistical analysis indicated no significant differences based on gender (Sig = 0.545), but significant differences were found based on personnel type (Sig = 0.000), education level (Sig = 0.007), work experience (Sig = 0.002), and committee appointment status (Sig = 0.000). These results identify key areas for improvement to enhance procurement management efficiency.
