Logistic Equitable Procurement, Fair Vendor Selection, Digital Trust, Cognitive Bias, Bidding SystemAbstract
This study analyze how cognitive biases and digital trust affect fair vendor selection and equitable procurement in electronic bidding systems at PT Pos Indonesia. Using survey data from 255 employees and decision makers, we found that cognitive biases (anchoring, confirmation, overconfidence, availability, and status quo) negatively impact procurement outcomes, while digital trust dimensions (security, integrity, reliability, transparency, and confidence) have positive effects. Fair vendor selection serves as a critical mediator between these factors and ethical procurement practices. The model explains 50.6% of variance in fair vendor selection and 35.4% in equitable procurement. These findings emphasize the need for both bias mitigation strategies and trust-enhancing digital platforms to achieve transparent and sustainable procurement decisions in logistics organizations.
