Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Participation and Managerial Performance The results are reported of a study testing participation's relationship to managerial performance among 415 senior operating managers in 13 large companies. A theoretical model is first proposed. In which participation affects performance by increasing role, task, and goal clarity, and the usefulness of operating monitoring, and then by increasing managerial confidence and motivation; the enhancement of these Information and attitude variables is proposed in turn to increase performance. The empirical relationship between participation and performance is found to be positive, and explained by the intervening variables included in the model; the information and attitude effects each provide approximately equal amounts of explanation. Participation's association with budget slack is examined. Greater participation increases both the expectation and the frequency of attaining budget; however, this does not appear to entail greater budget slack, since participation is not significantly associated with the effort required to be sure of making budget or with the level of effort expended on the managerial task. Finally, four moderating conditions are hypothesized and tested. While participation's relationship to performance is consistently positive. It is more pronounced for managers of lower ability, when greater information asymmetry exists between managers and their superiors, and for managers whose responsibility centers face greater environmental uncertainty; it is less pronounced when formal rewards are strongly contingent on attaining budget.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Participation in Budgeting, Locus of Control and Organizational Effectiveness This study examines the role of the personality variable, locus of control, as a moderator of the relationship between budgetary participation and managerial performance. The results of a laboratory study employing two separate subject groups - undergraduate accounting students and managers from a large manufacturing company - show a statistically significant interaction between participation and locus of control affecting performance. Budgetary participation was found to have a positive effect on individuals who feel they have a large degree of control over their destiny ("internals" on the locus of control scale), while having a negative effect on those individuals who feel that their destinies are controlled by luck, chance or fate ("externals" on the locus of control scale). The results are discussed and possible applications in the areas of job redesign and personnel selection and placement are considered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Participation in Budgeting, Locus of Control and Organizational Effectiveness: A Field Extension While the results of this study were encouraging, the limitations of the research method must be kept in mind. For reasons of subject (at least in the case of the students). Task, reward and situational surrogation, an experimental approach suffers from potentially impaired generalizability to the real-world setting of interest. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of a field-study extension of the research, employing job satisfaction, as well as performance, as a focal dependent variable.

This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leadership Behavior, Budgetary Participation and Performance During the last two decades, a great deal of behavioral research in managerial accounting has focused on the question of what constitutes desirable design features of budgeting systems. The types of criterion variables employed in studying this basic question have been as broad as the array of design features studied. The effects of budgetary participation on performance (Milani, 1975), goal difficulty on goal commitment (Stedry and Kay, 1966), feedback on attitudes (Cook, 1967) and acceptability of standards on felt cognitive dissonance (Foran and DeCoster, 1974) represent just a few configurations of studied variables. One particular area which has been studied in some depth is on the effects of varying leadership style in budgetary settings. This area of research developed out of one of the major conclusions of Argyris' (1952) seminal work, namely that supervisors tend to employ budgets as means of expressing their leadership style. Empirical advances along this line of inquiry have been made possible by the development in the organizational behavior field of measurement instrumentation for leadership style, most notably the Leadership Behavior Descriptive Questionnaire (LBDQ) (Stogdill and Coons, 1957). While much has been learned from organizational behavior researchers about the effects of varying leadership styles, the evidence from accounting research on the question of the impact of leadership style in budgetary settings has been mixed. This study is aimed, in part, at clarifying some of the relationships which have been investigated with limited success in the past.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Field Study Examination of Budgetary Participation and Locus of Control: October 1982 The question of the conditions under which budgetary participation will lead to desirable organizational outcomes is a matter of concern to researchers in managerial accounting for two reasons: (1) participation is widely believed to provide a managerial approach to improving performance of organizational personnel and (2) the evidence which exists in the literature is in considerable conflict. This question provided the motivation for a laboratory study reported elsewhere [brownell, 1981] of the role of internal-external locus of control, a personality variable, as a moderator of the relationship between budgetary participation and performance. The purpose of the present study is to validate the results of the laboratory experiment using a field - study approach. The results of the previous study will also be extended by considering the effects of participation and locus of control on job satisfaction, as well as on performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its revolutionary study of more than 80,000 managers in First, Break All the Rules, revealing what the world’s greatest managers do differently. With vital performance and career lessons and ideas for how to apply them, it is a must-read for managers at every level. The greatest managers in the world seem to have little in common. They differ in sex, age, and race. They employ vastly different styles and focus on different goals. Yet despite their differences, great managers share one common trait: They do not hesitate to break virtually every rule held sacred by conventional wisdom. They do not believe that, with enough training, a person can achieve anything he sets his mind to. They do not try to help people overcome their weaknesses. They consistently disregard the golden rule. And, yes, they even play favorites. This amazing book explains why. Gallup presents the remarkable findings of its massive in-depth study of great managers across a wide variety of situations. Some were in leadership positions. Others were front-line supervisors. Some were in Fortune 500 companies; others were key players in small entrepreneurial companies. Whatever their situations, the managers who ultimately became the focus of Gallup’s research were invariably those who excelled at turning each employee’s talent into performance. In today’s tight labor markets, companies compete to find and keep the best employees, using pay, benefits, promotions, and training. But these well-intentioned efforts often miss the mark. The front-line manager is the key to attracting and retaining talented employees. No matter how generous its pay or how renowned its training, the company that lacks great front-line managers will suffer. The authors explain how the best managers select an employee for talent rather than for skills or experience; how they set expectations for him or her — they define the right outcomes rather than the right steps; how they motivate people — they build on each person’s unique strengths rather than trying to fix his weaknesses; and, finally, how great managers develop people — they find the right fit for each person, not the next rung on the ladder. And perhaps most important, this research — which initially generated thousands of different survey questions on the subject of employee opinion — finally produced the twelve simple questions that work to distinguish the strongest departments of a company from all the rest. This book is the first to present this essential measuring stick and to prove the link between employee opinions and productivity, profit, customer satisfaction, and the rate of turnover. There are vital performance and career lessons here for managers at every level, and, best of all, the book shows you how to apply them to your own situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employee participation encompasses the range of mechanisms used to involve the workforce in decisions at all levels of the organization - whether direct or indirect - conducted with employees or through their representatives. In its various guises, the topic of employee participation has been a recurring theme in industrial relations and human resource management. One of the problems in trying to develop any analysis of participation is that there is potentially limited overlap between these different disciplinary traditions, and scholars from diverse traditions may know relatively little of the research that has been done elsewhere. Accordingly in this book, a number of the more significant disciplinary areas are analysed in greater depth in order to ensure that readers gain a better appreciation of what participation means from these quite different contextual perspectives. Not only is there a range of different traditions contributing to the research and literature on the subject, there is also an extremely diverse sets of practices that congregate under the banner of participation. The handbook discusses various arguments and schools of thought about employee participation, analyzes the range of forms that participation can take in practice, and examines the way in which it meets objectives that are set for it, either by employers, trade unions, individual workers, or, indeed, the state. In doing so, the Handbook brings together leading scholars from around the world who present and discuss fundamental theories and approaches to participation in organization as well as their connection to broader political forces. These selections address the changing contexts of employee participation, different cultural/ institutional models, old/'new' economy models, shifting social and political patterns, and the correspondence between industrial and political democracy and participation.
