CHAPTER 5. SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND
RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the final summary of the research
findings, conclusion, and recommendations for future research. Both the summary
of findings and recommendations are based on the objectives of the study.
5.1 Summary of findings
5.1.1 Summary on effect of electronic submission of bids on
effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital
The study's first objective was to examine how electronic
submission of bids affects effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District
Hospital
According to Correlation Table 4.4, Electronic submission of
bidsstrongly correlates with the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya
District Hospital (r=.839 with a p value of 0.044, which is less than 0.05).
This indicates that the relationship between Electronic submission of bids and
the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital is
significant, implying that having Electronic submission of bids has the
potential to increase the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District
Hospital.
The model summary was used to present the coefficient of
determination, which explained how well changes in the independent variable
explained variations in the dependent variable. The independent variable
(Electronic submission of bids) has effect of 80.2% on effectiveness of public
tendering at Kabaya District Hospital as represented by R Square. The
coefficient of correlation value of 0.839 indicates that there was a positive
strong correlation between independent and dependent variable.
The findings in Table 4.6 indicate that the overall model was
significant. The overall model was significant as shown by a calculated F
statistic of 19.042 (p value 0.044). The calculated F statistics was large than
the critical F statistic. The findings indicated that the variable electronic
submission of bids are good predictor of effectiveness of public tendering at
Kabaya District Hospital, hence the alternative hypothesis of the study was
confirmed.
5.1.2 Summary on effect of easy access to all published
tenders on effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital.
The second objective of the study was to find out the effect
of easy access to all published tenders on effectiveness of public tendering at
Kabaya District Hospital.
Correlation Table 4.8 reveals that easy access to all
published tenders correlates positively and significantly with the
effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya District Hospital (r=.786 and p
equal to 0.038 is less than 0.05). This provides sufficient evidence that easy
access to all published tenders has the potential to increase the effectiveness
of public tendering if implemented properly within Kabaya District Hospital.
Table 4.9 shows the coefficient of determination presented
using the model summary, which demonstrated how well changes in the independent
variable explained variations in the dependent variable. According to R Square,
the independent variable (easy access to all published tenders) has an
influence of 74.3 percent on the effectiveness of public tendering at Kabaya
District Hospital. The coefficient of correlation of 0.786 implies that the
independent and dependent variables have a moderate positive relationship.
The results in table 4.10 show that the overall model was
significant. An estimated F statistic of 7.075 indicated that the whole model
was significant (p value 0.036). The estimated F statistics exceeded the
crucial F statistic. The findings revealed that the variable easy access to all
published tenders is a good predictor of the effectiveness of public tendering
at Kabaya District Hospital, hence confirming the study's alternative
hypothesis.
