Budgeting is a critical activity carried out by different-sized private and public sector organizations, apparently because of the multifarious functions which budgets serve. Most studies on budgetary participation (BP) have prominently focused on private-sector organizations, leaving out the public sector. This suggests limitation in the scope of generalizability of empirical results on BP to private sector organizations, and as such the need for studies specifically focusing on public-sector organizations, which is the thrust of this paper. The study adopted a quantitative research design, using multi-stage sampling. Questionnaire was used to harvest the perception of 174 managers in five public sector organizations in Nigeria. Statistics engaged for analysis were: percentage and range analysis, mean, standard deviation, factor analysis, correlation and regression analysis. Of the correlates examined, it was observed that Managerial Performance (r=.437, p ≤ .000) and Environmental Uncertainty (r= -.138, p ≤ .070) exert the most on BP.
