| description | This study investigates the mediating role of personal responsibility on the link between
monitoring mechanisms and task participation.
Design/methodology/approach – The proposed hypotheses were tested on a sample of local
government employees in Uganda. Using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), research from the
monitoring mechanisms, personal responsibility and task participation literatures was analyzed and
integrated to put forth a new theoretical lens, represented by the structural equation model developed in
this paper that helps to explain local governments’ employee task participation.
Findings – Development of the model reveals a relationship between monitoring mechanisms,
personal responsibility and task participation among local government employees. This model also
highlights the importance of personal responsibility in mediating the relationship between monitoring
mechanisms and task participation.
Originality/value – The study findings enrich organizational behavior studies by confirming that
monitoring mechanisms and personal responsibility are key antecedents of task participation. Secondly,
the study is one of the pioneers to demonstrate that the presence of personal responsibility helps to
extend the positive effects monitoring mechanisms have on task participation. |
