Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the relationship between employee participation in the budget-setting process and managerial performance, expanding on earlier theories and research that acknowledged a positive correlation, but lacked empirical evidence. The author presents an in-depth analysis of a field study using an expectancy model to explore the proposed model linking participation and performance, looking at motivation as an intervening variable. The study revealed a positive association between participation and performance but found that the indirect path linking participation and performance through motivation explained only a small amount of the relationship. Additionally, the author found greater participation was positively associated with the extrinsic components of motivation but negatively with the intrinsic components. This suggests that participation in budgeting reinforces the contractual nature of the budget at the expense of personal satisfaction derived from goal-directed behavior and goal accomplishment. The author concludes that broadening our understanding of the indirect mechanisms through which participation affects performance can help management design a participation process that captures the benefits while eliminating latent costs.
