摘要

Over the years, public procurement has gained attention among researchers and practitioners from diverse geographical areas owing to its notoriety as a conduit for corruption. Many studies have examined the subject of public procurement corruption (PPC), nevertheless, studies on the present and future trends in PPC research in developing countries are still patchy. This affected our understanding of the trends and issues in PPC studies in this context. Therefore, this study comprehensively reviews the trends in PPC in developing countries and provides directions for future studies. The study employed the Scientometric approach to analyse 152 documents from the Scopus database. The study unearthed the trends in the PPC domain, the most influential and prolific journals, authors, countries, institutions, and the co-occurrence network of keywords. Besides, the qualitative analysis revealed various themes in PPC studies namely: procurement-based corruption, procurement strategies and corruption, public procurement and corruption, bidder selection and corruption, preventative and remedial measures (accountability, transparency, technology, laws and regulations), gender and corruption, etc. This study adds to the body of knowledge in PPC studies by furnishing scholars with the trends and future avenues in PPC studies. Furthermore, this study arms practitioners and policymakers with some procurement mitigation strategies that can be used to reduce the menace of PPC, thereby promoting national development and alleviating poverty.
