Budgetary slack under budget-based incentive schemes—the behavioral impact of social preferences, organizational justice, and moral disengagement

Abstract: This article examines factors influencing the creation of budgetary slack under budget-based incentive schemes. Classical agency theory serves as the starting point, with the dual role of budgeting as a planning and a motivational instrument. Under the assumption of fully rational utility maximizers, people should incorporate the maximum amount of budgetary slack possible given budget-related compensation. However, this behavior cannot be observed in reality or in experimental settings. Therefore, two importan… Show more

It further addresses performance in connection with budget setting, which is a prominent issue in both general management and management accounting (Daumoser et al 2018;Derfuss 2016;Liessem et al 2015). Further, Lindquist's (1995) seminal work, which pioneered justice research in accounting (Indriani 2015), is broadly cited.…”

“…A number of studies have examined the implications of slack on a budget and the factors leading to its creation (Church et al, 2012;Hobson, Mellon, & Stevens, 2011;Hartmann & Maas, 2010;Liessem, Schedlinsky, Schwering, & Sommer, 2015). Slack negatively impacts a budget by taking resources away from future opportunities that could have awarded the department, unit or organization with a better return on investment.…”

“…Nos estudos sobre orçamento, a folga orçamentária tem sido objeto de inúmeras discussões científicas (LIESSEM et al, 2015) cujo objetivo é, sobretudo, compreender as motivações da sua criação. Embora possa ser definida de várias maneiras, em termos gerais, a folga orçamentária corresponde a valores de gastos maiores do que aqueles adequados e a valores de receitas menores do que aqueles esperados (FREZATTI; BECK; SILVA, 2013).…”

“…Nesse sentido, algumas teorias têm sido utilizadas para analisar e explicar a criação da folga orçamentária nas organizações. Dada a Teoria da Agência, a folga orçamentária representa um conflito de agência organizacional caracterizado como um problema de seleção adversa (LIESSEM et al, 2015) oriundo da distinção de interesses entre a alta administração (principal) e seus subordinados (agentes). Liessem et al (2015) ressaltam que a teoria clássica da agência aparece como um ponto de partida adequado para estruturar o problema, entretanto, não consegue explicar completamente todo o fenômeno devido a suposições restritivas.…”
