Question
How is accountability related to authority? Explain.

Answer

When an officer assigns some work to his subordinate, he also gives necessary authority to perform the work. After getting the authority it becomes the responsibility of the subordinate to complete it. And at the same time he is accountable to his superior for his performance. Thus, accountability and authority are related to each other.

Anshul owns a small scale factory where utility items are prepared from waste material like paper mache items, paper and cloth bags, decorative material etc. Over the past few weeks, he was observing that the productivity of one of his very efficient worker, Ramdas, is going down. So he decides to probe into the matter and confronts Ramdas one day. On being asked, Ramdas shares with Anshul that he has deliberately slowed down in his work as many of the less efficient workers often pull his leg saying that there is no need for him to be more efficient when everybody is being paid at the same rate.
