Abstract: |
Transparency laws are argued to bring accountability to organizational
activities. This dissertation aimed at answering the general research question of how
organizational factors such as organizational culture, structure (discretion), and
endowment (resources) affect the proactive transparency behavior and outward
(citizen-centered) accountability orientation of the frontline public bureaucrats in the
context of Bangladesh. Proactive transparency behavior is a tendency to disclose
information about organizational activities for citizens’ audit without being requested
by anyone. Outward accountability is the attitude of the frontline public bureaucrats in
terms of being answerable to the citizens. The objective was to develop a conceptual
model for understanding the proactive transparency behavior and outward
accountability orientation of the frontline bureaucrats. The study followed a mixed
methods research design consisting of a quantitative survey and in-depth qualitative
interviews and observations. Survey data were analyzed using standard multiple
regression and interview data were analyzed using a basic thematic framework. The
research participants were 326 sub-district level frontline public officials that directly
distribute government benefits and sanctions to the citizens. |
