Over the past decade, there has been an increased use of results-based management in Vietnam and other countries, but little empirical research exists on resultsbased planning (RBP). Th is research empirically examines the impact of four organizational factors on the outcomes of RBP.

Th is study fi nds that employee commitment and RBP-related training have a direct, positive, and strong eff ect on the outcomes of RBP, and leadership support and involvement, donor support indirectly aff ect RBP outcomes via employee commitment. Th is study contributes to the literature by off ering empirical evidence of the role of organizational factors in implementing reforms such as RBP in the context of a developing country. Some recommendations for furthering such reforms are also made.
