(Purpose) We have a deep understanding of accountability in the field. The relationship between two theories (organizational commitment and accountability) is complex but significant, particularly in the context of organizations and government institutions. The paper explores the relationship between two important concepts in the fields of human resource development and government: Organizational Commitment and Accountability. (Design/methodology/approach) The comparative analysis formed the core of the research methodology. In this phase, the paper explored the commonalities and distinctions between Organizational Commitment and Accountability in a theoretical and conceptual manner. To explore the intricate relationship between Organizational Commitment and Accountability, a comprehensive literature review was conducted. (Findings) The interconnectedness between Organizational Commitment Theory and Accountability Theory highlights the essential role of trust and commitment in organizations and government institutions. Recognizing and leveraging this relationship can lead to improved performance, enhanced transparency, and a more engaged workforce or citizenry. However, it also calls for a careful balance between accountability measures and the preservation of a culture of trust and commitment. (Research implications or Originality) This research can provide insights into how organizations and governments can optimize trust and commitment to achieve their goals. To foster an environment of trust, commitment, and accountability, it is imperative for both organizations and government institutions to focus on several key areas. Leadership plays a pivotal role in setting the tone and should actively promote a culture rooted in trust, transparency, and ethics. Furthermore, investing in training and development programs can align employees with the core values and objectives, reinforcing their commitment. Incentives and recognition mechanisms serve as powerful motivators for those who exhibit unwavering commitment and accountability.
