“…In summary, accountability is not decreasing but multiplying. Rather than stating a gap of accountability, the recent situation is better described as a transformation into an “age of many accountabilities” (Moes et al, 2008, pp. 47-50).…”

“…Furthermore, similar to for-profit providers, not-for-profit providers depend on private investment to modernize (or just maintain) their infrastructures. An “age of many accountabilities” (Moes et al, 2008, pp. 47-50) has begun for all types of hospital providers.…”

“…In his seminal work, Bovens (2005) differentiated five types of accountability. Turning to private actors, however, requires complementing Bovens’ classical framework with further dimensions, that is, including market and financial actors as well as the public and citizens (Hodge & Coghill 2007, p. 680, Figure 2; see also Luke, 2010 for similar considerations but different labels; Moes, Berthoin Antal, Hofmann, & Oppen, 2008). We therefore analytically distinguish eight different types of accountability; these are organizational, political, legal, administrative, professional, market, financial, and citizen accountability (see Table 1).…”

One of the most striking features of recent public sector reform in Europe is privatization. This development raises questions of accountability: By whom and for what are managers of private for-profit organizations delivering public goods held accountable? Analyzing accountability mechanisms through the lens of an institutional organizational approach and on the empirical basis of hospital privatization in Germany, the article contributes to the empirical and theoretical understanding of public accountability of private actors. The analysis suggests that accountability is not declining but rather multiplying. The shifts in the locus and content of accountability cause organizational stress for private hospitals.
