Abstract
The primary objective of this research is to analyze the moderating impact of stakeholder orientation on the connection between supplier selection and procurement performance in Ghana's public sector. Three separate goals were presented as solutions to the issues mentioned in the problem statement. Researchers employed a cross-sectional survey design and a quantitative approach that merged descriptive research design to achieve their aims. Participants in the research included high-level executives such as purchasing agents, department heads, warehouse supervisors, and members of entity tender committees. A total of 138 public sector workers in Ghana were surveyed using a standard questionnaire. Participants were chosen using a combination of convenience and purposeful sampling methods. Structural Equation Modeling in the form of smartpls 4 was used to verify or disprove the study's hypotheses. Summary statistics (descriptive statistics) were utilized to summarize the data. According to the results of the research, supplier selection significantly affects the procurement performance of the public sector. Findings also showed that stakeholder orientation contributes considerably to procurement performance in the public sector, although stakeholder orientation did not moderate the connection between supplier selection and procurement performance. Findings suggest that managers in the public sector may improve their procurement performance by committing to and focusing on supplier selection and stakeholder orientation. The study recommended that public sector company managers refine their supplier selection processes by zeroing in on the suppliers most likely to help them achieve their objectives by analyzing supply performance
