This research aims at identifying the factors precipitating corruptible tendencies. The study was guided by the Fraud Triangle Theory. The study used an exploratory and descriptive research design methods of investigation, and a simple random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 179 from a population of 325 people using the Taro Yamane method of sample size determination from the practitioners in Imo state. The study employed a well-structured standardised questionnaire designed in Likert five-point scales, in addition to personal observations to elicit responses from construction firms and projects situated in Imo State, Nigeria. The questionnaires underwent pre-testing and validation to ensure their reliability. The study utilised various statistical tools such as charts, figures, and descriptive statistics to present the collected data. Additionally, Factor Analysis was employed to analyse the data. The results show that out of the ten (10) variables tested for factor analysis, the findings revealed four clusters named in other of significance as a weak system; lack of transparency; phantom bidding and bid rigging. The study recommends that procurement procedure in Imo State must be tightened to reduce corruption in the construction industry and to also ensure a fraud-free procurement system, public sector agencies must ensure regulations are complied with, apply better procurement policies, and support and encourage industry practitioners to execute procurement functions by procurement regulations and policies.
