Abstract: This paper further enhances the field’s understanding of informal accountability for others (IAFO) by examining both its antecedents and some possible mediating and moderating conditions. In this paper, we test a model wherein employees’ value congruence and position (embeddedness), as well as their senses of organization-based self-esteem (OBSE), predicts IAFO. In addition, and consistent with existing literature on accountability, we examine the degree to which control (defined here in terms of self-regulation) influences individuals’ senses of whether or not they feel accountable for the attitudes and behaviors of others in their organizations. Our results indicate that a partially mediated condition exists between embeddedness, organization-based self-esteem and IAFO. Furthermore, our results identify a statistically significant moderating effect for control on the OBSE - IAFO relationship.
