The construction industry faces a lack of compliance with policy that in Uganda public road construction projects affects the attainment of Government goals and disrupts infrastructure project delivery. For decades, public entities have been known for a lack of compliance that manifest in: poor performance, poor personnel management, poor resource utilization and unprofessionalism. In Uganda, this has resulted in several restructures aimed at improving service delivery. Despite this, compliance remains an issue. The purpose of this study is to establish factors affecting compliance within a public procurement regulatory framework in public road construction projects and foster economic development. A cross-sectional research design including a structured self-administered questionnaire survey and PLS-SEM data analysis by SmartPLS3 was conducted. The research reveals that three factors positively affect compliance with a regulatory framework that govern public road construction projects; sanctions on staff, inefficiency of the public procurement regulatory framework and contractors’ resistance to non-compliance. While a further three factors have little positive effect on compliance; familiarity, monitoring activities and professionalism. Hence, the research contributes to construction management by showing that sanctions, perceived inefficiency and contractors’ resistance significantly enhance compliance within a public procurement regulatory framework.

实施公共道路建设项目的法规框架内的合规性

在乌干达，公共道路建设项目会影响政府目标的实现，并破坏基础设施项目的交付，因此建筑行业缺乏政策的依从性。数十年来，公共实体因缺乏合规性而闻名，表现为：绩效不佳，人员管理不善，资源利用不良和不专业。在乌干达，这导致了一些旨在改善服务交付的重组。尽管如此，合规性仍然是一个问题。这项研究的目的是在公共道路建设项目中建立影响公共采购法规框架内合规性的因素，并促进经济发展。进行了一项横断面研究设计，包括结构化的自我管理问卷调查和SmartPLS3的PLS-SEM数据分析。该研究表明，三个因素对遵守监管公共道路建设项目的监管框架产生了积极影响。对工作人员的制裁，公共采购监管框架效率低下以及承包商对违规行为的抵制。虽然另外三个因素对合规性几乎没有正面影响；熟悉度，监控活动和专业精神。因此，该研究通过显示制裁，被认为效率低下和承包商的抵抗显着提高了公共采购监管框架内的合规性，从而对建筑管理做出了贡献。公共采购监管框架的效率低下以及承包商对违规行为的抵制。还有另外三个因素对合规性没有积极的影响；熟悉度，监控活动和专业精神。因此，该研究通过显示制裁，被认为效率低下和承包商的抵抗显着提高了公共采购监管框架内的合规性，从而对建筑管理做出了贡献。公共采购监管框架的效率低下以及承包商对违规行为的抵制。虽然另外三个因素对合规性几乎没有正面影响；熟悉度，监控活动和专业精神。因此，该研究通过显示制裁，被认为效率低下和承包商的抵抗显着提高了公共采购监管框架内的合规性，从而对建筑管理做出了贡献。
