Abstract

Accountability involves employees taking responsibility for their actions, decisions, and outcomes, aligning individual efforts with organisational goals. It fosters ethical decision-making, proactive problem-solving, and workplace democracy while enhancing motivation and performance. Organisationally, it ensures resource efficiency, goal achievement, and a strong reputation. Given cultural variations in accountability perceptions, this study examines how cultural differences in China, Russia, and Italy shape employees' views. Using quantitative and qualitative data from an online survey, the study provides insights for managers fostering accountability in diverse settings.
