Objetivo: O objetivo desta pesquisa é averiguar se o uso do orçamento diagnóstico ou interativo, moderado por comportamentos heurísticos, influencia às competências profissionais dos controllers. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa de cunho quantitativo, realizada por meio de levantamento com 109 indivíduos que exercem a função de controller. Para atender ao objetivo de pesquisa, além do diagnóstico dos dados por meio de contagem das respostas, foi utilizado um modelo de regressão logística, escolhido pelo método Retroceder de Wald. Resultados: Os resultados encontrados na pesquisa, indicam que há predominância das competências atreladas ao perfil bean counter nas funções laborais dos controllers. Quanto ao uso do orçamento verificou-se que o uso do orçamento interativo para comunicar metas às suas equipes de trabalho é característico de controllers cujas competências profissionais pertencem ao perfil business partner e apresentam comportamento influenciado por heurísticas, e independentemente de serem influenciados por heurísticas, utilizam o orçamento interativo para discussão de ações; enquanto o uso do orçamento diagnóstico para o planejamento gerencial é característico dos bean counters. Constatou-se também que há presença de heurísticas no comportamento dos controllers, com destaque para as de Ancoragem e Disponibilidade, porém não puderam ser atreladas diretamente às competências profissionais destes indivíduos. Contribuições do estudo: As contribuições teóricas do estudo esclarecem a respeito da relação entre os usos específicos dos orçamentos diagnóstico ou interativo influenciados por comportamento heurístico e as competências profissionais da Controladoria. A pesquisa amplia o debate da função do controller que predomina no Brasil.

Purpose: The objective of this research is to verify if the use of diagnostic or interactive budget, moderated by heuristic behaviors, influences the professional competences of controllers. Methodology: This is a descriptive research, carried out by means of a survey with 109 individuals who work as controllers. To meet the research objective, in addition to diagnosing the data by counting the responses, a logistic regression model was used, chosen by the Wald Backward Stepwise method. Results: The results found in the research indicate that there is a predominance of competencies linked to the bean counter profile in the work functions of controllers. Regarding the use of the budget, it was found that the use of the interactive budget to communicate goals to their work teams is characteristic of controllers whose professional competences belong to the business partner profile and present behavior influenced by heuristics, and regardless of being influenced by heuristics, they use the interactive budget for discussion of actions; while the use of diagnostic budget for management planning is characteristic of bean counters. It was also found that there is a presence of heuristics in the behavior of controllers, especially those of Anchoring and Availability, but they could not be directly linked to the professional skills of these individuals. Contributions of the study: The theoretical contributions of the study clarify the relationship between the specific uses of diagnostic or interactive budgets influenced by heuristic behavior and the professional competences of controllers. The research expands the debate on the role of the controller that prevails in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regarding use of the budget, it was found that using the interactive budget to communicate goals to their work teams is characteristic of controllers whose professional competencies belong to the business partner profile and present behaviors influenced by heuristics and who, regardless of such influence, use the interactive budget for discussion of actions; whereas use of the diagnostic budget for managerial planning is characteristic of bean counters. It was also found that heuristic components are present in the controllers' behaviors, especially those of Anchoring and Availability, although it was not possible to directly link them to these individuals' professional competencies. Contributions of the study: The theoretical contributions of the study clarify the relationship between the specific uses of diagnostic or interactive budgets influenced by heuristic behaviors and the controllers' professional competencies. The research expands the debate on the controller's role that prevails in Brazil.
