This study aims to examine the effect of budgeting participation, work experience, and role conflict on managerial performance through motivation as an intervening variable in private universities in the city of Makassar. This study uses a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to structural officials at three private universities in Makassar. The samples in this study were selected based on 76 purposive sampling methods. Data were analyzed using multiple analysis methods processed using SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences). The results show that budgeting participation and work experience variables do not influence managerial performance, and role conflict has a significant negative effect on managerial performance. In addition, the motivational variable here is able to act as an intervening variable in its influence on budget participation, work experience, and role conflict with managerial performance. This is because the three independent variables have a significant positive effect on motivation as a moderating variable even though the budgeting participation variable and work experience do not significantly influence managerial performance as the dependent variable.
