W artykule ukazano, w jaki sposób procesy partycypacyjne (w tym przypadku budżetowanie partycypacyjne) wpływają na motywacje i zwyczaje aktywnego obywatelskiego zaangażowania w społeczeństwie o dużym dystansie do władzy i wysokich wynikach unikania i niepewności. Wyniki pokazują, że prawie wszyscy respondenci zgłaszali zdobycie nowych umiejętności i wiedzy, jak również zwiększone upodmiotowienie (empowerment). Jego przejawy dotyczyły zarówno dalszego zaangażowania wspólnotowego, jak i większego poczucia prawa do monitorowania władz publicznych i pociągania ich do odpowiedzialności.

The study explores how participatory processes (in this case, participatory budgeting) impact people’s motivation for and the habit of active civic engagement in a society with high power distance and high uncertainty avoidance scores. The findings show that almost all respondents reported the acquisition of new skills and knowledge, as well as an increased expression of empowerment. The manifestations of empowerment varied from further community activism, to increased feeling of entitlement to monitor public authorities and hold them accountable.
