“Non-Compliant Work Behaviour in Purchasing: An Exploration of Reasons Behind Maverick Buying”
- The structural mark is a parallel shadow procurement network running alongside the official one: local buyers placing orders directly with non-contracted suppliers, routing purchases through expense reimbursements that evade procurement classification, or calling local distributors who deliver next-day against a central system that requires three to five business days
Mechanisms¶
- Bulk Purchasing Agreement
- Its central failure mode is maverick spend: members quietly buy off-contract when a local deal looks better, and every off-contract order shrinks the aggregated volume that justified the group's price, so the discount erodes even though the paper contract looks fine.
This sourceTreats purchases outside negotiated contracts as maverick buying and explains that compliance with framework agreements is needed to realize purchasing synergies.

- Procurement Framework
- Make the framework too rigid or slow and users bypass it — the off-contract buying that procurement calls maverick spend, which quietly erodes both the negotiated savings and the visibility the framework existed to create.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 3 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
