Abstract

The study assesses the effectiveness of sustainable procurement of public sector organizations in Jamaica. The study adopted a survey design that employed quantitative research method. Purposive sampling was used to select 200 professionals based on their experience in the field of procurement and supply chain management in the public sector organization of Kingston. Data analysis was carried out with the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v21).

The study concludes that government regulation and legislation, desire to mitigate upstream supply chain risk, role of the procurement function in an organisation demand from customers for sustainable products, top management support and guidance and competitor pressure were the drivers of sustainable procurement in Jamaican public sector organizations. Additionally, it was revealed that lack of management support and guidance, inadequate training of procurement professionals and suppliers, lack of financial support, difficulty dealing with government agencies, lack of planning and centralized/decentralized decision making were the factors affecting the implementation of sustainable procurement practices in public sector organizations in Jamaica. Policy implications and directions for future studies are addressed.
