摘要：This study focused on the assessment of leadership from the perspective of accountability in the Nigerian public sector. The study thus investigated the extent at which leaders in the Nigerian public sector are accountable for their actions and performances. The study used survey research design. The study adopted the test-retest process for reliability of instrument, and determined its validity through pilot test technique. Data and information were gathered through primary and secondary sources. Taro Yamane was used to determine the sample size of 377, and Bowler’s proportional allocation method for fair allocation of samples. The study adopted stratified sampling technique, and grouped respondents into strata on the basis of common characteristics. After grouping, the simple random sampling technique was applied to select the required sample size. This study analyzed the data collected with descriptive statistical tool and tested hypothesis with Likert statistical method. The study revealed that leaders in the Nigerian public sector are not often accountable for their actions and performances, and that employees are not often empowered towards accountability of leaders. The study concluded that accountability on the part of leadership is a far reaching concept, and it cannot be realistic when employees have low voice in the Nigerian public sector. The study therefore recommends that Leaders in the Nigerian public sectors should operate an action-questionable organizational culture; such that efficiency and growth can be realistic.
