Abstract

Briefly examines the concept of accountability and what is distinguishable as account behaviour. Discusses research on accountability and its implications for productivity management. Introduces dual focus of accountability (′upwards′ and ′downwards′) and contemplates a number of propositions to enable its use as device for improving productivity. Suggests that greater awareness of accountability can provide organisations with mutual understanding and increased productivity.
