Abstract

Felt accountability is an imperative element within a society, as well as an organization. Without accountability, one would disregard the consequences that their actions may cost another individual. However, the number of empirical studies predicting factors of felt accountability is lacking. This correlational study is aimed to examine the relationship between felt accountabilityand managerial monitoring (for task and for interpersonal facilitation) behavior and empowering leadership climate. To reduce common method bias, data were obtained from multiple sources: 85 pairs of managers and their subordinates in Indonesia, with an appropriate amount of time-lag given for data obtained from the same source. All the measuring instruments for the purposes of this research exhibit a relatively good internal consistency, with the reliability coefficients ranging from 0.7-0.9. Analyses show (a) no correlation between managerial monitoring behavior for task and empowering leadership climate with felt accountabilityand (b) a significant positive effect of managerial monitoring for interpersonal facilitation on felt accountability. The discussion explains the result of the study from the point of view of the reciprocity theory and the collectivist culture of Indonesians.
