摘要：
Accountability is central to curbing leaders’ self-serving tendencies, yet formal controls rarely sustain leaders’ subjective sense of being answerable in day-to-day work. We adopt a bottom-up perspective on leader accountability, examining how team members’ upward feedback shapes leaders’ perceived accountability to the team. Integrating the upward feedback literature with regulatory focus theory, we argue that both positive and negative team feedback from members increase leaders’ perceived accountability. We further propose that leaders’ regulatory focus moderates these effects. Specifically, promotion focus amplifies the impact of positive feedback, whereas prevention focus amplifies the impact of negative feedback. In turn, perceived accountability enhances team effectiveness by motivating leaders to invest effort and attend to members’ needs. Our work shifts accountability research from a top-down emphasis on formal controls to a relational, bottom-up view that foregrounds team members’ role in shaping leader mindsets and advances the upward feedback literature by differentiating the effects of positive versus negative feedback on leaders’ perceived accountability.
