ABSTRACT This study empirically investigates the antecedent, mediating, and outcome variables of budgetary participation in Turkey. Turkey is an interesting setting to investigate the impact of budgetary participation on job satisfaction and performance because of its unique cultural and institutional factors. We propose that the information asymmetry between superiors and subordinates creates the need for budgetary participation, and the outcomes of budgetary participation (i.e., job satisfaction and performance) will be mediated by goal commitment and role ambiguity. Based on a questionnaire survey of 194 mid-level managers in Turkey, we find that role ambiguity mediates the budgetary participation–job satisfaction and budgetary participation-performance relationships. The results are consistent with the view that the primary benefit of budgetary participation is to decrease role ambiguity, leading to more job satisfaction and better performance. Furthermore, we find that goal commitment mediates the budgetary participation-performance relationship. This result suggests that participation in the budgeting process increases goal commitment, which in turn leads to better performance. This study will be beneficial for companies in general and for organizations in developing countries in particular to realize that budgetary participation alone does not improve job satisfaction and performance. Rather, it is the increased commitment and decreased role ambiguity that results from managers' participation in the budgetary process that improves job satisfaction and performance.

ABSTRACT Objective: the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of budget participation on management attitudes, job satisfaction, and managerial performance of controllers of Brazilian companies. Methodology: a descriptive, survey, and quantitative research was conducted from a sample of 316 individuals with budgetary responsibility. Results: the results indicated that budgetary participation directly and positively influences managerial attitudes toward budgeting, job satisfaction, and controllers’ performance in budget activities. Indirect relationships revealed that managerial attitudes toward budget and job satisfaction mediate the relationship between budgetary participation and managerial performance. It was found that budgetary participation positively influences the level of use of the budget for the purposes of performance evaluation and contributes to the development of budgetary knowledge of managers. Conclusion: the budgetary participation is responsible for important consequences on the attitudes and performance of these professionals. From a managerial point of view, it is essential to understand how the budgeting process can influence the attitudes, satisfaction, and performance of controllers in the budgeting context, since after this understanding, the managerial functions can be improved.

This study investigated differences in amount of role stress for saleswomen and salesmen and tested the impact of five dimensions of role stress on job satisfaction and job performance for both sexes. Analysis for cross-sectional mail survey using 90 saleswomen and 50 salesmen as subjects showed saleswomen were slightly higher on role overload than salesmen. Few differences between salesmen and saleswomen were found when role stress dimensions were used to predict job satisfaction or job performance. These results refute some of the negative impressions of sales positions and negative stereotyping of women in sales.

Contingency Approach

Most of budgets studies have focused on budget participation. It was argument that level of participation in budgeting process is most important part of budgeting procedure. The activity could predict and reduce future uncertainty. The others components of budgeting like budget goal and budget evaluation lacked attention. This study aims to investigate the impact of budget goal difficulty and budget evaluation style on managerial performance and job satisfaction with contingency approach.  Level of difficulty would arise when environment uncertainty exist. It should need different style of budget evaluation. But, experience managers seem could anticipate it. Results support hypothesis that budget goal difficulty and budget evaluation style were contingent with manager experience and environment uncertainty

Negative Factors

<p>The primary function of nurses in inpatient services is to provide optimal services for patients with serious illnesses.Therefore, nurses’ job satisfaction should not be taken for granted. The role overload can influence job satisfaction at workplaces. The role overloaand job stress have negative effect. However, the nurses can still have job satisfaction, if the role overload is at low level. The other factor that influences job satisfaction is role ambiguity. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors that determine job satisfaction of nurses, work at the hospital and the job stress impacts on job satisfaction. The samples of this study were 170 respondents. This study applied quantitative design with path analysis. The role overload and job stress have negative and significant influence on job satisfaction. The role overload and role ambiguity have a positive and significant impact on job stress. The role ambiguity does not influence job satisfaction. Job stress mediates the role ambiguity to job satisfaction. The next research can develop variables that can mediate the influence of role ambiguity and role conflict on job satisfaction, for example, burnout and performance variables.</p>
