中文摘要

The authors investigated the impact of different types of organizational ethical climate on the relationships between budgetary slack and three antecedents of the slack (environmental uncertainty, budgetary emphasis and information asymmetry). Using multi-level hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and a sample of 624 subunit managers from 72 listed companies in Taiwan, they found that the perceived egoistic climate strengthened the positive relationships between the antecedents and budgetary slack. In contrast, the perceived benevolent and principled climates weakened the relationships. However, if the budgetary slack was caused by environmental uncertainty, the perceived benevolent climate had no effect on eliminating budgetary slack (supporting the moral disengagement theory) but the effect of principled climate still exists (not supporting the moral disengagement theory). The implications of the findings for management accounting research and practices are discussed.
英文摘要

本研究探討不同型態的組織倫理氣候是否調節預算寬列前置變數(預算強調、環境不確定和資訊不對稱)與預算寬列的關係。本研究以624位上市公司經理人為樣本，利用多層次線性模式(HLM)進行分析。研究結果發現利己氣候能強化上述三項預算寬列前置變數對預算寬列的正向影響，亦即組織的利己氣候越明顯，則三項預算寬列前置變數與預算寬列的正向關係皆越顯著。相反的，在高仁慈氣候與高原則氣候下，預算強調與資訊不對稱對預算寬列的正向效果皆不顯著，但在低仁慈氣候與低原則氣候下卻顯著，顯示仁慈氣候和原則氣候能夠弱化預算強調和資訊不對稱對預算寬列的影響。此外，不管高或低仁慈氣候下，環境不確定對預算寬列的正向影響都顯著，顯示仁慈氣候對環境不確定和預算寬列的關係不具調節效果(支持道德脫離理論)。而在高原則氣候下，環境不確定和預算寬列的關係不顯著，但在低原則氣候下，兩者的正向關係卻顯著，顯示原則氣候具有調節環境不確定與預算寬列的關係(不支持道德脫離理論)。
