The purpose of this study is to investigate the antecedents and outcomes of budgetary participation. More specifically, I
propose that a lack of information fosters budgetary participation. A high degree of participation allows the managers
to have a favourable attitude toward budget attained and in turn, this leads to a low degree of budgetary creation
slack. The questionnaire data obtained from 115 Vietnamese managers was used to test the proposed model. The
results suggest that highly asymmetric information demands high participative budgeting. When participating more
in the budgeting process, the managers’ attitude toward the budget attained was favourable, and in turn, this leads to
the decrease of budgetary slack creation. These findings contribute to the budgeting literature in a threefold manner.
First, this study supports the argument that the demand for participation is high when there is highly asymmetric
information. Second, the results suggest that the managers’ attitude toward the budget attained mediates the relationship
between budgetary participation and the managers’ creation of budgetary slack. Third, by using the theory of planned
behaviour, this study has explained how and why a favourable attitude toward the budget attained leads to the low
creation of budgetary slack. |
