Abstract

The paper examines the mediating role of institutional quality in the relationship between the critical factors and the intention to use PPP in public projects in Ghana. The paper employed a quantitative approach. Data was collected from 186 managerial staff among MMDAs in Ghana. The analytical tool was the partial least square structural equation modelling. The paper found that both the financial (cost savings, revenue potential and risk allocation) and non-financial factors (transparency and accountability, political consideration) have a positive significant effect on intention to use PPP in public projects. The paper found that institutional quality partially mediates the relationship between financial factors and intention to use PPP in public projects, but did not mediate in the relationship between non-financial factors and intention to use PPP in public projects. Policymakers can promote the use of PPPs by prioritising financial and non-finance factors and promoting institutional quality.
