THE TENSION BETWEEN ACCOUNTORS AND ACCOUNTEES: EVIDENCE FROM THE REFORMED NEW ZEALAND ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY

Abstract

At any time, there will be differing views on what needs to be done to be properly accountable, because accountees are likely to be in favour of more accountability, and accountors, of less (Perks, 1993). This leads to a tension between these two groups (Ijiri, 1983).
