“…The judicious utilisation of financial resources in such public sector organisations, facilitated by the existence of a sound budgeting system, could translate directly to the efficient utilisation of state resources. Review of literature on budgetary participation (BP) and managerial performance (MP) reveals a leaning towards private sector organisations in comparison to the public sector organisations [see Milani, 1975;Brownell & McInnes, 1986;Nouri & Parker, 1998;Chong & Chong, 2002;Agbejule & Saarikoski, 2006;Frucot & White, 2006;Yuen, 2007;Adeyeye, Otusanya & Uadiale, 2013]. In contributing to the debate on budgetary participation and managerial performance in public sector organisations, Thomson (1967) (cited in Williams, Macintosh & Moore, 1990), suggested that budgetary behaviour in private sector organisations may be different from public sector settings, thus suggesting limitation in the scope of generalisability of empirical results from budgetary participation and managerial performance in the private sector organisation, hence the need for study of public sector organisations.…”
