Open book management and workplace accountability on employee performance

Most organizations still operate as if the world is still in a controlling industrial age that suppresses the release of human capacities. If they continue their operations the old ways, they will not achieve sustainable success in this present age. To bridge this gap, we bring up the open book management system together with workplace accountability that unleashes the innate capabilities of the employees through an open system of management to achieve a high performing employee which leads to achieving overall organizational objectives. The structured questionnaire was the instrument for data collection. Data was summarized and presented descriptively and analyzed using SPSS 20.0 statistical software. Findings reveal that Open-book management has a significant and positive effect on employee performance and a positive and significant relationship between workplace accountability and employee performance was established. Therefore, the study concludes that Open-book management is not practiced in the Federal teaching hospitals that were studied from South East Nigeria. This is premised on the restricted open sharing of relevant information among the employees.
