The contingent roles of perceived budget fairness, budget goal commitment and vertical information sharing in driving work performance

Abstract

Purpose Drawing on equity theory, social exchange theory and goal setting theory, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the contingencies on the link between employees’ budgetary participation and their work performance. Specifically, this study addresses the research questions: whether vertical information sharing and budget goal commitment mediate the relationship between employees’ budgetary participation and their work performance; and whether employees’ perceived budget fairness can strengthen the positive effects of budgetary participation on vertical information sharing and budget goal commitment. Design/methodology/approach Survey data were collected from a sample of 556 low to middle level managers of business organizations in Vietnam. The research model and its hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM. The standardized root mean squared residual value of the composite model was employed to assess model fit. Common method bias was also checked using the marker-variable approach. Findings This study has two key findings: both vertical information sharing and budget goal commitment partially mediate the positive effects of budgetary participation on work performance; and both dimensions of perceived budget fairness (distributive and procedural) elevate the positive relationships of budgetary participation – vertical information sharing and budgetary participation – budget goal commitment. Practical implications The findings could benefit businesses in Vietnam and similar market contexts. Specifically, top management needs to select a proper level of budgetary participation that can facilitate information sharing vertically within the organization and motivate their employees to be more committed to achieve budget goals. Besides, the top management also needs to ensure that their employees perceive the fairness in the budgeting process. Originality/value The study contributes a greater understanding as regards the mediating roles of vertical information sharing and budget goal commitment as well as the moderating role of perceived budget fairness on the relationship between employees’ participation in the budgetary process and their work performance, especially in the context of an emerging market – Vietnam. Overall, this study contributes to the management and accounting literature with insights concerning a more complex process explaining employees’ work performance and triggered by their budgetary participation.

Does corporate governance compliance condition information asymmetries? Moderating role of voluntary disclosures

“…If β 3 is different than zero by the confidence interval, this indicates that the effect of X is linearly moderated by W. The regression equations are estimated by PROCESS macro (Hayes, 2013). PROCESS macro has widely been used by researchers for tests moderation and mediation in recent years (Nguyen, 2018;Nguyen et al, 2019). The bootstrapping analysis (randomly resampling the total number of observations with replacements) is used to construct confidence intervals to estimate the model.…”

Implikasi Partisipasi Anggaran terhadap Kinerja Manajerial dengan Mediasi Komitmen Organisasi

“…Hasil kinerja berdasarkan pencapaian target merupakan hasil evaluasi bagi manajer. Nguyen et al (2019) menyampaikan partisipasi anggaran cenderung dilihat sebagai kesempatan untuk belajar tentang tujuan organisasi dan bagaimana pencapaian target anggaran dapat membantu dalam pencapaian tujuan organisasi. Bahkan jika penekanan anggaran rendah, para manajer mungkin masih menemukan partisipasi bermanfaat karena memungkinkan manajer untuk berkomunikasi dengan atasan dan belajar tentang urusan organisasi mereka.…”

Penerapan Prinsip Good Corporate Governance pada Kinerja Berbasis Balanced Scorecard di LPD Kabupaten Badung

“…hal tersebut sejalan dengan penelitian yang dilakukan Febriani et al (2016) yang menyimpulkan bahwa prinsip kewajaran dilakukan dengan baik maka akan semakin tinggi pula kinerja karyawan, atau sebaliknya jika prinsip kewajaran tidak dilakukan dengan baik maka kinerja karyawan juga semakin buruk. Penelitian oleh Nguyen et al (2019) bahwa kewajaran berpengaruh positif terhadap kinerja. Sesuai dengan agency theory, hal ini menunjukkan tapabila pengelolaan LPD memperhatikan hak dari prinsipal serta memperlakukannya secara adil berdasarkan asas kewajaran dan kesetaraan maka dapat meningkatkan tingkat kesehatan LPD.…”
