Abstract

This study explores the relationship between leadership excellence and accountability within organisations in Plateau State, Nigeria, and their combined impact on organisational culture and success. The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data to provide a comprehensive analysis. Quantitative data were gathered through a structured questionnaire, revealing moderately positive perceptions of leadership practices, with a particular emphasis on fostering continuous learning and responsibility among leaders. Qualitative data, obtained through thematic analysis of open-ended responses, highlight effective leadership practices such as transparent communication and collaboration, as well as challenges in implementing accountability measures, including resistance to change and resource limitations. The Integration of quantitative and qualitative findings underscores the significant influence of leadership on accountability and, consequently, on organisational culture. The study also addresses social desirability bias by assuring participants of their anonymity and encouraging honest feedback. The findings contribute to academic discourse by providing localized Insights into leadership and accountability within the specific context of Plateau State, Nigeria. Practical recommendations include investing in leadership development programs, enhancing clarity in accountability measures, promoting continuous learning, addressing communication gaps, and prioritizing employee engagement. This research offers a roadmap for organisational leaders aiming to foster a culture of accountable leadership and drive organisational success in dynamic business environments.
