Quality of Information and Performance Information Use: Do Local Public Managers Utilize Performance Information Based on Its Quality?

Abstract

As a crucial part of the public reform, local governments in Thailand adopted the
performance-based budgeting since early 2000s. The structure of performance information
(i.e., policy goals, policy results, value for money, and policy effectiveness) has been in
place and technically accepted as the key for enhancing the allocation of public monies.
According to information asymmetry, if one can possess high quality information, he or
she tends to utilize it frequently. This study, as a result, investigates such association
between quality of performance information and its use among the local public mangers
during the budget debate. The results from quantitative analysis partially confirm such
association. Also, they identify the type of information the local public managers use the
most during the budget debate. Policy recommendations based on such results and
future research directions towards the promotion of performance budgeting are also
discussed.
