Abstract
The study attempted to explore and explain the relationship between corporate governance, accountability and organisational performance of selected government agencies in Uganda. Across-sectional quantitative survey design was used to collect data from selected government agencies. A sample size of 80 agencies was drawn from a population of 101 agencies basing on Krejcie & Morgan (1970). 61 public agencies were responsive from the sample size of 80 agencies. A self-administered Questionnaire was used to collect and analyze data using a statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) software.
The findings revealed significant positive correlations between corporate governance, accountability and organisational performance. The findings revealed that corporate governance and accountability predict about 41.8% of organizational performance. These findings have both policy and managerial implications. The policy makers should put in place policy guidelines that enhance organizational performance. Management ought to enhance accountability through training, coaching and regular meetings that improve on organizational performance. The study recommends that governments‟ agencies should recruit employees who have proven accountability background and appropriate competences that enhance organizational performance.
