Introduction

The budget is the lifeline of any organization, because organizations do all their financial activities, including revenue and payment of expenses for the implementation of various programs in the framework of budget. Budgeting associated with current affairs leads to improved management and performance of the program (Sayden, 2010). Kern (1992) stated that participation in budgeting has led to an increase in information available to employees; this factor leads to increased managers' efficiency. He stated that increasing the instability and volatility in the organization may have positive effects on corporate performance in budgeting increases (Kern, 1992). Budget means planning and control and a budget that is prepared and regulated based on the studies, and the participation of managers of an institution determines the practice of management and provides desired harmony between the whole activity of a company or institute. The main question that arises in this research is to determine the type of relationship between participation of managers in budgeting and their management performance in Tehran regional electric company
