Summary/Abstract: The research area of the paper is the participatory budgeting (PB) that is the instrument enabling the inhabitants of Polish local governments to co-decide on the allocation of the local budget. The purpose of the article is to analyse the impact of the moral and legal norms related to the functioning of PB on the motivation of the inhabitants actively engaged in this form of social participation. The quantitative and qualitative research enabled to confirm the research hypothesis, according to which the citizens’ motivation to participate in PB is more shaped by the citizens’ and public administration’s moral values than by the legal norms.
