چکیده

هدف: یکی از راه‌های اصلی اثبات بهبود عملکرد بخش عمومی از طریق صورت‌های مالی و افزایش کیفیت گزارشگری مالی می‌باشد که باید منجر به ارتقاء پاسخگویی گردد. این مقاله با استفاده از نظریه نهادی و اقتضایی، به بررسی تأثیر رهبری و ظرفیت حسابداری بر کیفیت گزارشگری مالی و پاسخگویی و همچنین تأثیر کیفیت گزارشگری مالی بر پاسخگویی در سازمان بهزیستی می‌پردازد.
روش: این پژوهش از نظر هدف، کاربردی و در طبقه پژوهش‌های توصیفی-پیمایشی قرار می‌گیرد. جامعه آماری شامل 175 نفر از مدیران و کارکنان امور مالی بهزیستی استان‌های بوشهر، ایلام، فارس، هرمزگان وکهگیلویه و بویراحمد می‌باشد. برای آزمون پنج فرضیه پژوهش، 122 پرسشنامه با مقیاس لیکرت پنج‌سطحی تکمیل و از روش مدل‌یابی معادلات ساختاری از نوع تحلیل عاملی تاییدی با رویکرد حداقل مربعات جزئی و ضریب همبستگی و نرم افزار اسمارت پی ال اس استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: یافته‌های پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که ظرفیت حسابداری بر کیفیت گزارشگری مالی و پاسخگویی تأثیری ندارد، رهبری بر کیفیت گزارشگری مالی و پاسخگویی تأثیر مثبت می‌گذارد و کیفیت گزارشگری مالی منجر به افزایش پاسخگویی خواهد شد.
نتیجه‌گیری: نتایج این پژوهش، اثبات‌کننده اهمیت رهبری در اصلاحات حسابداری سازمان است. همچنین نشان می‌دهد که کیفیت گزارشگری مالی، زمینه ارزیابی دقیق پاسخگویی سازمان‌های بخش عمومی را فراهم می‌کند.
دانش‌افزایی: بررسی‌های انجام‌شده نشان می‌دهد پژوهش حاضر از لحاظ موضوع، هدف و نحوه اندازه‌گیری متغیرهای رهبری و ظرفیت حسابداری، نمونه مشابهی در ایران ندارد. نتایج این پژوهش، بینش جدیدی را در خصوص اهمیت رهبری و تاثیر کیفیت گزارشگری مالی بر پاسخگویی در سازمان‌های بخش عمومی، آشکار می‌سازد.

The statistical population of the study includes 175 managers and employees of welfare organization finance in Bushehr, Ilam, Fars, Hormozgan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad provinces. To test the five research hypotheses, 122 questionnaires with a five-level Likert scale were completed and the structural equation modeling method of confirmatory factor analysis with partial least squares approach and correlation coefficient and Smart PLS software was used.
Findings: Findings show that accounting capacity has no effect on financial reporting quality and accountability, leadership has a positive effect on financial reporting quality and accountability and the quality of financial reporting will lead to increased accountability.
Conclusion: The results of this study prove the importance of leadership in organizational accounting reforms. It also shows that financial reporting quality provides an accurate assessment of the accountability of public sector organizations.
