Purposes In the face of external changes, accountability is one of the best organizational management strategies. Within the healthcare services sector, does employee accountability also have an impact on work performance? Past research has demonstrated that good leader-member exchanges between leaders and subordinates, as well as greater organization-based self-esteem, can improve work motivation. However, the correlations between leader-member exchanges, organization-based self-esteem, organizational justice, accountability, and work performance have yet to be elucidated upon. Methods In this study, full-time employees of a regional teaching hospital in Taichung City were recruited as the research subjects and referenced the measurement scale recommended by the opinions of scholars and experts, which is officially administered after pre-testing and item analysis. Data were collected from 587 subjects and statistical methods such as CMV, reliability and validity, difference analysis, SEM, CR, AVE, and discriminant validity were utilized. Results The results of this study demonstrated that the correlation between leader-member exchanges, accountability, organization-based self-esteem, organizational justice, and work performance fully integrated with the influence model (theoretical model) and appropriately matched the observed variables, which is consistent with the SEM model. Leader-member exchanges, organization-based self-esteem, and organizational justice positively impacted employee accountability, which (in turn) influenced work performance positively. Employee accountability has a partial mediation effect between organization-based self-esteem and work performance, and organizational justice and work performance, while having full mediation effect between the leader-member exchanges and work performance. Conclusions This study recommends that supervisors should encourage employees to perform well at work and to improve communication modes with employees, which improves harmony in relationships and, thereby, augments employees' work attitudes and enhances their recognition with superiors and the organization. This strengthens employee accountability and work performance. |
