description Management control systems are applied tools that may be useful to align managers’ personal interests concerning organizational goals. In this context, corporate budgets are used as an organizational control tool and, historically, research reveals that their use, associated with other tools such as those referring to management and budgeting, may contribute to managers’ individual performance and, globally, to organizational performance itself. However, subjective and behavioral phenomena may also affect the organizational environment; thus, it is appropriate to investigate the effect of control tools on the behavior of individuals. This paper is based on the work of Agbejule and Saarikoski (2006), and it aims to investigate the relationship between cost management knowledge and budgetary participation with the performance of managers. The survey is descriptive as to its goal and to procedures such as surveys, and quantitative as to the approach taken to approaching the problem. The sample consists of hierarchical middle-level managers working in organizations located in Southern Brazil. Survey data was analyzed with Regression and Factor Analysis statistical methods, using 18.0 version SPSS software. Results indicate that there is an influence of cost management knowledge and budgetary participation on managers’ performance, but only for factors considered collective managerial performance.
