Budgetary Evaluation, Environmental Uncertainty and Performance: Case of Moroccan Firms
Using data from 62 firms based in Morocco, this research reports the findings of a study designed to examine the relationship between budgetary evaluation, environmental uncertainty and firms’ performance. In this research, we identified three principal styles of budgetary evaluation: “strict budgetary evaluation” adopted by 21% of the sample; “moderate budgetary evaluation” adopted by 27.4% of the surveyed enterprises and “lower budgetary evaluation” adopted by 51.6% of the sample. The environmental uncertainty doesn’t have a significant impact on diversity of budgetary evaluation systems. The relationship between budgetary evaluation and firm’s performance is significant and positive in enterprises operating in an uncertain environment and in those operating in a certain environment.
