Abstract

The aim of this study is to give empirical evidence about theimpact of the implementation of goal setting theory andagency theoryon the performance of local governmental units in the Special Regionof Yogyakarta Province. The samples were the SKPD’s chairmen or chairwomenwho lead the governmental services atthe province level (D IYogyakarta) and the regency level (Kota Yogyakarta, KabupatenSleman,Kabupaten Gunung Kidul, Kabupaten Bantul, and KabupatenKulon Progo), and they must be in their term of office for at least oneyear. This study analyzed their perceptions about the statements in thequestionaire. The data were analized by partial least square (PLS) withSmart PLS Version 2.0. The findings showed empirical evidence of theimpact of clear and measurable goals on qualitative and quantitativeperformance, and the impact of performance measurement indicatorson quantitative and qualitative performance are consistent withgoalsetting theory, but the impact of decentralization on the quantitativeand qualitative performance is inconsistent with goal setting theory.The results show that the impact of incentives on the quantitative andqualitative performance isinconsistent with agency theory.

Abstract

The studies of the family firms’ earnings quality have not yet concluded about individual or family as majority owner in firm has positive or negative influence over the earnings quality. We conjecture that the prior researches use the different approaches: such as alignment versus entrenchment, to explain agency conflict between majority and minority shareholders. Prior researches have proved that culture has relation with accounting practice in a country. We argue that culture also stimulates the individual or family’s behaviour in that firm to choose the alignment or entrenchment behaviour. This study examines the accruals (discretionary accruals, discretionary current accruals, and discretionary long-term accruals) level, as the proxy of earnings quality, of the family firms in four culture dimensions which established by Hofstede’s (1997). This study uses three groups of shareholders in family firms as samples (the one largest, the two largest, and the three largest shareholders) from 48 countries around the world. Based on ANOVA, this study proved that the difference of culture level has the different earnings quality. The result also reveals that there are different accruals pattern in different culture, such as power distance and individualism (collectivism) have linear pattern, but femininity (masculinity) and uncertainty avoidance have non-linear pattern. The linear accruals pattern implies that large (small) power distance or individualism (collectivism) culture has low (high) earnings quality or high (low) earnings quality, respectively. However, for the non linear accruals pattern of femininity (masculinity) or uncertainty avoidance culture implies that the evidence do not conform the prior research that masculinity has positive correlation with corruption level in societies or strong uncertainty avoidance concerns to more precise law.
