A laboratory experiment was conducted. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ordinary least squares (OLS) regression were used to test the hypotheses proposed in this chapter. The independent variables were trust-in-superior and subordinates’ truthfulness in revealing their private information. The dependent variable was budgetary slack. The results indicate that trust-in-superior reduces the budgetary slack created by subordinates under private information condition. In addition, the results show that subordinates’ truthfulness in revealing their private information mediates the effect of trust-in-superior on budgetary slack. ## Keywords - Variance (accounting) - Private information retrieval - Ordinary least squares - Test (biology) - Variable (mathematics) - Control (management) - Variables - Econometrics - Regression analysis - Psychology - Social psychology - Microeconomics - Economics - Statistics - Mathematics - Accounting - Management - Biology - Paleontology - Mathematical analysis --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
