INVESTIGATING THE IMPLICATIONS OF ACCOUNTABILITY ON THE EGYPTIAN REVOLUTION

Year 2012, Volume: 4 Issue: 1, 1 - 10, 01.06.2012

Abstract

Public sector and governments exist to improve the welfare of the citizens in ways
that cannot often (or easily) be measured in terms of money (Schacter, 1999). A
good government is the one that manages its measures and indicators in the right
way in order to reach outcomes desired by the community (Schacter, 2002a).
When discussing public sector performance management, accountability should
be the main topic of discussion as it is the core issue in public performance
management in many of the developed and developing countries in the world
(Islam, 2010; The Performance-Based Management Handbook, 2001).
This paper intends to investigate the implications of the public sector
accountability via finding out the relation between it and the Egyptian Revolution
that started on the 25th of January 2011.
