Budgeting Process

Budget slack costs institutions money because there is a misallocation of assets. Therefore, organizations have a vested interest in hiring managers who do not have a propensity toward creating slack. Budget slack results when managers intentionally include more organizational resources in the budget than they anticipate needing (or when they understate revenue-producing activities). Extensive time and effort is invested into a company's budgeting process. The budget is often the primary point of financial control over the distribution of organizational resources (i.e., time, money, and materials). Prior research in business ethics has attempted to explain and predict when a manager will engage in this behavior, examining antecedents such as budget participation, cultural differences, and reward systems. The current paper expands on previous studies and examines the influence of individual ethical factors. Specifically, the influence of an individuals ethical ideology is examined in relationship to their propensity to create budget slack.

This is an empirical examination of Experienced Stimulation (es) and Experience Actual (EA) from Exner's Comprehensive System (CS) for Rorschach's Test, spurred by Kleiger's theoretical critique. Principal components analysis, Cronbach's α, and inter-item correlational analyses were used to test whether 13 determinants used to code Rorschach responses (M, FM, m, CF+C, YF+Y, C'F+C', TF+T, VF+V, FC, FC', FV, FY, FT) are best represented as a one, two, or more-dimensional construct. The 13 determinants appear to reflect three dimensions, a “lower order” sensori-motor dimension (m + CF+C + YF+Y + C'F+C' + TF+T + VF+V) with a suggested label of Modified Experienced Stimulation (MES), a “higher order” sensori-motor dimension (FM + FV + FY + FT) with a suggested label of Modified Experience Potential (MEP), and a third sensori-motor dimension (M+FC+FC') for which the label of Modified Experience Actual (MEA) is suggested. These findings are consistent with Kleiger's arguments and could lead to a refinement of CS constructs by aggregating determinants along lines more theoretically congruous and more internally consistent. A RAMONA model with parameters specified was presented for replication attempts which use confirmatory factor analytic techniques.
