According to the one-sample T-test, there is the ability to evaluate performance, the ability of human resources, technical ability, necessary organizational authority, legal authority, procedural authority, political acceptance, and finally managerial acceptance necessary for the establishment of operational budgeting; but there is no motivational acceptance necessary for the establishment of operational budgeting.
