Abstract
The aimed to verify the influence of different ways of using the budget on the empowerment and creativity of 100 managers in Brazilian organizations in the area of information technology. A descriptive and quantitative. Data were tested by factor analysis and multiple linear regression. The use of the budget, in a diagnostic form, increases managers’ sense of empowerment and creativity. The use of the budget, in interactive form, has to be associated with the creativity of managers to generate a sense of empowerment, and the opposite also occurs. As a theoretical implication, it provides evidence that the diagnostic use is essential to the creativity and empowerment of employees even when pursuing a defined strategy/goal. Interactive use of the budget can compromise employees’ sense of empowerment about work. In the practical field, it is unnecessary to make a choice between having an environment that encourages creativity or having proper control.
