Abstract


There are various factors that influence the results or performance of an organization. One of the factors is the availability of budget resources to an organization. The purpose of the study was to investigate influence of budget resources on the performance of not for profit making organization, a case of Bro Andre Hospital ltd. The hospital is fully owned by the Holy Cross Mission Catholic Church of USA. The hospital operates as a non-profit organization and deficit arising from her operations is funded by well-wishers. The study was anchored on the following theory; budget incremental theory. The research was a descriptive research design which is suitable because it uses smaller samples for an in-depth analysis of a larger population. Census sampling method was used in the study. The target population for the study was 77 staff members. 77 staff members were respondents from the organization's Medical program, Finance, and Human Resource and Information technology departments. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to respondents. The results of the findings were analyzed aided by use of STATA which generated descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics like regression, multiple regressions among others. The data was presented in tables. The responses of the respondents to all of the questions about the influence of budget resources on performance showed that they had a moderate perspective on the budget resources at the hospital, as shown by the relative mean. The results show that the majority of the respondents are of the opinion that the availability of financial resources determines which goals are to be pursued by the organization. From the findings, the study concluded that availability of financial resources ensured allocation of sufficient budget, influence effective budget planning, ensured equity in distribution of resource in budgeting.
