<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the superior's reputation and the character of subordinates referred to as need for achievement (NFA) toward budgetary slack. We employed experimental method with a factorial design of 2 (superior reputation) x 2 (need for achievement). Hypothesis testing was conducted using two-way ANOVA. By using as many as 78 accounting and management students as experimental participants, t he results prove that subordinates who have superiors with favorable reputations tend to create a lower slack than those who have superiors with unfavorable reputations.
