An Accountability Questionnaire was administered to administrators, service providers, and board members of 50 community mental health centers. The results, using cluster analysis techniques, yielded an Accountability Scale of 22 items. Four clusters with satisfactory discriminative validity were extracted: (a) Importance of Program Evaluation; (b) Satisfaction with State Monitoring Procedures; (c) Traditional Clinical versus Community Psychology Concerns; (d) Agency Preservation versus External Accountability. Analyses of variance indicated that board members, staff, and administrators differed significantly in their scores on each cluster. The Accountability Scale is a potential tool for community mental health agencies in assessing intraorganizational attitudes concerning accountability and has implications for administrative planning and evaluation.
一份问责调查问卷被发放给了50家社区心理健康中心的管理人员、服务提供者和董事会成员。运用聚类分析技术得出的结果产生了一个由22个项目组成的问责量表。提取出了四个具有良好区分效度的聚类：(a) 项目评估的重要性；(b) 对州监测程序的满意度；(c) 传统临床与社区心理学关注点；(d) 机构维护与外部问责。方差分析表明，董事会成员、工作人员和管理人员在每个聚类上的得分存在显著差异。问责量表是社区心理健康机构评估组织内部有关问责态度的一个潜在工具，对行政规划和评估具有启示意义。
