Abstract
This study focused on establishing the mediating role of opportunistic behavior in the
relationship between institutional pressures and procurement cycle time (PCT) in Uganda’s
central government (CG) procuring and disposing entities (PDEs). The study also sought to
establish the relationship between institutional pressures and PCT, between institutional
pressures and opportunity behavior and between opportunistic behavior and PCT. This study
was carried out because most PDEs had failed to perform well in terms of PCT, and
beneficiaries had often complained of the lengthy PCT.
