Abstract
  • University governance is essential for a university's success and competitiveness, involving rules, transparency, accountability, and academic freedom. It aims to improve performance, involve employees in decision-making, and foster employee satisfaction. Good governance improves productivity and financial efficiency, and is characterized by real-time visibility, review, and evaluation of efforts. Public accountability is a crucial aspect of New Public Management, aiming to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public government. In education, accountability is linked to internal performance monitoring and aligning decisions with targeted outcomes. However, implementation of accountability in educational institutions faces obstacles such as lack of accountability ideas, personal factors, and misunderstandings of roles and obligations.
