SECTION IV

IV
Note : This section contains five (5) questions of five (5) marks each based on the following
passage. Each question should be answered in about thirty (30) words.
(5 5 = 25 Marks)

: (5) (30)
(5)
(5 5 = 25 )
While Micro Management may be a way to ensure accountability by
monitoring performance and procedures, however, it leads to an over-emphasis on
procedures leading to substantial non-productive paperwork without any emphasis on
end results and lack of delegation with a deleterious effect on performance. Narrow
emphasis on accountability demoralises employees and also leads to shift in priorities
to compliance of regulations and performance accountability rather than service
provision. Micro-management frequently proves detrimental to improvement in
performance and effective service delivery. Basic changes in the accountability
system are essential This change is all the more justified as the centralised
command and control systems with process compliance and input control have not
been effective in securing performance. Accountability should be seen as the ability
of the system to deliver results and services effectively and in a responsive manner of
the appropriate quality and at the right time. The correct test of accountability should
be whether the results have reached the end consumer in a time-bound and effective
manner and not merely whether all the prescribed procedures were followed without
taking into consideration the final effect of the action. Thus defined, accountability
will lead to improvements in service and create an assurance in the working of the
institution as against a narrow blaming approach to accountability.
