Authoritarianism and Participative Budgeting: A Dyadic Analysis.
研究上下级威权主义人格组合对预算参与效果的影响，发现同质威权二元组（上下级威权倾向一致）与下属工作满意度和预算态度正相关，且参与在其中的作用更强。
Abstract ABSTRACT: Authoritarianism has been the most widely studied personality variable in management accounting research. One important line of research has been the role of authoritarianism as a moderating variable in studies which examine the effectiveness of budgetary participation. Results from these studies have been equivocal. In this paper it is argued that the lack of consensus in this research may be a consequence of examining the personality of only one member of the group involved in the participative process, usually the subordinate. It is claimed that Improved understanding of the influence of authoritarianism on subordinate attitudes to the job and budgets can be expected if both subordinate and superior authoritarianism are considered together. The results indicate that budgetary participation is important in its own right and the homogeneous authoritarian dyads are positively associated with subordinate outcomes. Moreover, participation is more strongly associated with subordinate job satisfaction and budgetary .attitudes in the homogeneous than in the heterogeneous dyad.
