Abstract
Accountability, as one of the major challenges facing managers, serves as a means of control, power oversight, and prevention of the abuse of authority, and has been widely studied by researchers across various scientific fields. In this context, the main question of the present study is whether, in the Islamic system, managers are required to be accountable for the positions they hold and the responsibilities assigned to them. Accordingly, the authors of this study employed a descriptive-analytical method, using library-based research and a questionnaire tool to collect, examine, and analyze the data—leading to valuable findings. Among findings, it was established that each of the three branches of government, in addition to possessing internal accountability mechanisms across administrative, political, and social dimensions, also exercises oversight over the others. The judiciary, in particular, plays a more significant role in holding other branches accountable compared to the others. Furthermore, it was found that the legislature is capable of holding other powers and institutions accountable through various methods and mechanisms, although it lacks strong executive enforcement capabilities. Ultimately, the authors conclude that, to arrive at an appropriate understanding of accountability, managers must consider the key insights and recommendations presented in the research findings.
