The Influence of Accountability on Managers´Felt
Responsibility. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 120
The influence of accountability on managers´felt
responsibility was studied. The hypotheses tested
were that accountability to various audiences such
as the Principal, work peers and the general public
influence the managers´ felt
responsibility. Felt responsibility was defined as
the cognitive and affective responsibility felt by a
manager for a decision that implies a dilemma. A
cross cultural hypothesis was also tested. The
interdependnet self construal of managers was
proposed as a moderating variable for the
relationship beetween accountability to different
audiences and felt responsibility. An in basket
exercise with MBA´s students in the USA and Colombia
was used for testing the hypothesis. A new scale
using both cognitive and affective dimensions for
felt responsibility was proposed. Results were
mixed. Further research must be conducted in a
promising field in organizational behavior.
