Abstract

Felt accountability is one of the keys to success in organizations because it provides guidance and direction for employees to form their role expectations and mutual obligations, and also clarifies the evaluation criteria for their performance and behavior. Furthermore, it is associated with employees’ ethical conducts. It is therefore important to explore the predictors of felt accountability. The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of individual factor, conscientiousness (α = 0.87) and group factor, ethical leadership (α = 0.83) to felt accountability (α = 0.74) in employee. A total of 140 surveys were collected using a time lag method (2 weeks gap) in 2 different organizational structures. The results show that (1) conscientiousness and felt accountability have a positive and significant impact, (2) no significant impact was found between ethical leadership and felt accountability, and(3) unexpectedly, organizational structure significantly affect felt accountability, in that organic structure shapes higher tendency for felt accountability. The impacts of this study are further discussed.
