- W2339735525 abstract "INTRODUCTIONThe literature on public participation in municipal budgeting is extensive, but we know little about what municipal budget directors think about the efficacy of public involvement. Empirical research on public involvement in budgeting has found that meaningful participation increases organizational effectiveness (Guo and Neshkova, 2013), public trust (Herian, 2011), and citizen perception of access (Preisser, 1997). A constant finding in the literature is how public involvement early in the budget process can have a positive effect on organizational performance (Guo and Neshkova, 2013) and financial decisions (Ebdon and Franklin, 2006). Based on this research, municipal reformers often call for normative models of budgeting with more public participation early in the process. However, few studies have surveyed the viewpoints of practitioners regarding the efficacy of public participation in municipal budgeting. The limited research on practitioner opinion describes managers as being critical of participation early in the process (Berner, 2004). Accordingly, current normative models are based on limited research into practitioner opinion.In this research, we seek address the literature's limited research on the opinions held by municipal public managers regarding public participation in budgeting. We extend Berner's (2004) survey of city and county officials in North Carolina a nationwide sample of municipal budget directors from cities that have been commended for their budgeting practices. We define quality budgeting cities as ones that have won the Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) rigorous distinguished budget award for the quality of their budget documents. The research contributes the literature by extending public administration's knowledge of what types of methods are being used in quality budgeting cities and what public participation methods are viewed as effective by budgeting practitioners in these cities. The research moves the literature away from mostly normative models of participation toward practitioner-informed, descriptive models.GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATIONThe GFOA is an association comprised of members from the United States and Canada with the overall goal to enhance and promote professional management in fiscal matters through training, encouraging cooperation, and increasing leadership capacity (Government Finance Officers Association, n.d.). With its awards program, the association tends focus on state and local budgeting issues. Since 1984, the association has given its distinguished budget presentation award state and local governments that have budgeting procedures that meet a challenging set of criteria. The award's criteria assess a budget document based on its usefulness as a financial guide, communication device, and operational guide. A local government's budget must include simple items like a table of contents and more complex information, such as an overview of revenue and expenditures in a manner that can be understood by citizens.1To win this award, a government's budget must meet the GFOA criteria as interpreted by highly qualified reviewers. While the award is focused on the actual budget document, we assume, for the purposes of this research, that a city needs quality budgeting procedures draft a document that is recognized by the GFOA. Given the GFOA's reputation and the robustness of the award's criteria, cities that win this award can be considered high performing budgeting cities. The award is a standard that cities should try achieve. Accordingly, we view budget directors in GFOA as being informed budget managers. When it comes the efficacy of participation, the opinions of informed managers matter. If public participation is effective, as described by normative models in the literature (Innes and Booher, 2004), then it can be hypothesized that informed budget managers should also view public participation as being useful. …" @default.
