Paper Abstract:
|
The paradigm of measuring and managing for results is a critical component of educational organizations at the national and local level. Holding people answerable for their actions captures the essence of accountability, which is one the most fundamental constructs in the organizational sciences and, unfortunately, one about which little is known. Accountability is an important organizational phenomenon that has been recognized by both academicians and practitioners as a fundamental element in the successful operation of organizations (Tetlock, 1985, 2009; Ettore, 1992). However, the current state of accountability research is such that scholars understand certain aspects of accountability but lack of complete understanding of the accountability phenomenon overall (Frink and Kilmoski,1998). Using the phenomenological approach (Tetlock, 1985, 2009), Frink and Klimoski (1985) made a call for models of accountability that examine both external (to the person) and internal condition, objective and subjective factors, and formal accountability mechanisms and informal accountability mechanisms (Hall, 2005). This study tested a model that sought to explicate the intermediate linkage between accountability and job performance and satisfaction. |
