Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of budgetary control on the performance of budgetary absorption. The Research method used was a survey of a population comprising 548 provincial/Regency/city governments in Indonesia with 231 samples. Primary data consisting of 33 samples were collected using questionnaires, and analysed quantitayively testing method used partial least square-path modeling (PLS-PM), whereas data processing methods used smartpls. The Research method used was a survey of a population comprising 548 provincial/Regency/city governments in Indonesia with 231 samples. Primary data consisting of 33 samples were collected using questionnaires, and analysed quantitayively testing method used PLSPM, whereas data processing methods used smartpls. The results of the study indicate that budgetary control has a significant positive effect on the performance of budgetary absorption. Thus, budgetary control can be said to have a high thrust to increase the performance of budgetary absorption. This contributes to the acceleration of economic development of regional governments in a country.
