Dada a escassez de literatura que associe a teoria contingencial a Sistemas de Avaliação de Desempenho (SAD), uma parte dos Sistemas de Controlo de Gestão (Henri, 2006), o presente estudo adota uma abordagem contingencial analisando a associação entre a estratégia, a incerteza ambiental e a estrutura da organização com a adoção de SAD por parte de Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PME) Portuguesas, correspondente à maioria do tecido empresarial português. Para este efeito foram utilizadas 2998 respostas de um questionário dirigido ao Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer e controllers de PME portuguesas. A análise conjunta dos três fatores contingenciais mostra que a estratégia não se encontra associada à adoção de SAD. No que respeita à incerteza ambiental – perceived environmental uncertainty (PEU) - verificou-se uma associação positiva do dinamismo da envolvente externa, e uma associação negativa com a imprevisibilidade. Por sua vez a intensidade da envolvente externa não se encontra associada à adoção deste sistema de controlo específico. Por último, encontrou-se evidência de que descentralização das empresas se encontra associada à adoção de SAD.
There is a sparse literature applying a contingency approach to Performance Measurement Systems (PMS), a specific type of Management Control Systems (Henri, 2006). This study addresses that gap by adopting a contingency approach that analyzes the association between strategy, environmental uncertainty and organizational structure with the use of PMS in Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), which correspond to the majority of the Portuguese companies. To this end, this study uses data from a questionnaire targeted at Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers and controllers of Portuguese SME (2998 responses). The results show that strategy is not associated with the adoption of PMS. Regarding Perceived Environmental Uncertainty (PEU), the results show a positive association with dynamism and a negative association with unpredictability. As for the intensity of competition, the results show that it is not associated with the use of this particular control system. Finally, I find evidence that the decentralization of the company is associated with the adoption of PMs.
