This paper investigated the effect of budget participation on job performance in one of the public sectors the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) HIV/AIDS Prevention Control and Co-ordinations Office (HAPCCO).
While studying the relationship between budget participation and job performance the following variables are used as mediating variables: role ambiguity, organizational trust, organizational commitment and budget adequacy. The study is significant for HAPCCO management and regional policy makers on how to improve the office’s performance by considering different variables and other researchers who wish to use the same method and sector/s.
Quantitative research design is used. Primary data are collected using structured questionnaire from a sample of 54 employees of HAPCCO selected using stratified random sampling. For data analysis descriptive statistics, correlation, regression and path analysis techniques are employed.
The result of the study indicated that budget participation has a direct but insignificant effect on job performance. Besides, budget participation has an indirect positive and significant effect on job performance through mediating variable. Mediating variables have a positive and significant relationship with budget participation with the exception of organizational commitment.

Research Objectives & Topics
This study aims to assess the impact of budgetary participation on employee job performance within the Amhara National Regional State (ANRS) HIV/AIDS Prevention, Control and Coordination Office (HAPCCO). The central research question explores whether budget participation directly influences job performance or if this relationship is mediated by factors such as role ambiguity, organizational trust, organizational commitment, budget adequacy, and job satisfaction.
- Effect of budget participation on job performance in a public sector context.
- The role of role ambiguity, organizational trust, and organizational commitment as mediators.
- Influence of budget adequacy and job satisfaction on employee output.
- Application of quantitative research design, specifically path analysis and regression techniques.
Excerpts from the Book
1.1 Background of the Study
Nowadays, in their pursuit of goals human beings are increasingly faced with greater competition and uncertainty due to critical problems. One of the critical problems is HIV/AIDS. Recognizing that HIV poses one of the most formidable challenges to the development, progress and stability of societies nations, round the world are on round table. The understanding of the epidemic in its requirement of an exceptional and comprehensive global response, States, public and private partnerships, non-governmental organizations and the important roles of civil society, communities, and persons living with and affected by HIV are vowing in designing solutions on how to minimize the epidemic (UN resolution, 2011).
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official website more than two-thirds of the estimated 34 million people living with HIV/AIDS worldwide are in developing countries and nearly three-fourths of the 2.7 million new HIV infections in 2010 occurred in these countries. As a result, HIV/AIDS is not a problem of the developing countries where many resources are there but the whole world.
No matter how Presidents of the developed like President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) as well as the rich men like Bill Gates in his “The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation” deploy hug sum in the fight against HIV/AIDS the problem in minimizing the new infection is still high (from 2 million to 2.4 million) according to the epidemiology summary of 2011 (National ARC website). Besides religious and community leaders are there in fight against the disease. However, the problem is continuing being a social, economic and political problem.
