Abstract:

Purpose. This study investigates the role of managers’ use of information provided by their firm’s management control systems (MCS) in the relationship between reward systems and performance in the context of Vietnam, a transitional economy. This is done by incorporating the effects of enterprise ownership types (state ownership, private ownership, and foreign ownership).

Methodology. Department managers in state-owned enterprises (SOEs), privately owned enterprises (POEs), and foreign-owned enterprises (FOEs) in Vietnam participated in the study. Data for the study were analyzed using a Partial Least Square (PLS) regression model.

Findings. The results reveal that managers’ reward systems are associated with their performance directly and indirectly via managers’ use of the information provided by MCS. However, the results by ownership type reveal that while the direct relationship between reward system and performance exists in firms under each of the three ownership types, the indirect relationship via managers’ use of MCS information does not exist in the case of SOEs.

Originality/value. The study contributes to existing knowledge on how managerial use of MCS information affects the relationship between reward systems and managers’ performance in SOEs, POEs, and FOEs in Vietnam.

Keywords. Enterprise ownership, MCS information, performance, reward systems, transitional economy
