Based on the literature review I expect the relation between budget participation (IV) and budget slack (DV) to be not significant, however budget participation seems to play a key role in the development of budget slack through the interaction with other factors. Therefore I expect the variables information asymmetry, budget emphasis and organizational commitment (all 3 MV) to moderate the not significant relation between participation and budget slack. I am also interested in the direct effect of these moderator variables.

My main questions are:

* Is it possible to research moderator interactions on a not significant relation

* Is is possible to use information asymmetry, budget emphasis and organizational commitment both as a moderator- and idependent variable

* Is it possible to perform a OLS Regression on this conceptual model
