Abstract Details

2010, Master of Public Administration (MPA), Ohio University, Political Science (Arts and Sciences).
This study is conducted to investigate the effects of performance-based budgeting on agency budget allocation decisions. Previous studies analyzed the use of performance-based budgeting by relying on either the perceptions of the budget officers or the aggregate budget outcomes. However, this empirical research combines agency performance measurement results and the main budget actors’ decisions. Till now no study has focused on the decisions of the main budget actors of the agency budgeting process to analyze the effectiveness of performance-based budgeting. By so focusing this research allowed for analyzing the effects of the agency performance measurement results on the decisions of the main individual budget actors. The aim of this case study is to understand the real effectiveness of performance measurement results in changing the decisions of the main budget actors and enabling them to make more informed budget allocation decisions in the State of West Virginia. Results of this study indicate that performance measurement results only influence the governor’s recommendations and do not have any impact on agency budget requests or the legislative appropriation. These results are explained by the challenges inherent in performance-based budgeting.
