An Analysis of the Policy Network Concept Regarding Public Accountability in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance (Electronic Treasury)

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the parameters involved in the formulation of the Network Policy-Making, commonly referred to as policy networks, with a particular emphasis on public accountability within the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. This investigation primarily focuses on the electronic Treasury. The statistical population comprises the managers who are employed at the Deputy Ministry for Financial Supervision, a division operating inside the General Directorate of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance. In order to ascertain the appropriate sample size, a questionnaire was administered using a multi-stage cluster sampling approach, resulting in a total sample size of 282 participants. The hypotheses were examined using the structural equation modeling method and the software LISREL. The findings indicated that various factors related to network policy-making, such as organizational sustainable development, organizational goal orientation, participative decision-making, and organizational identity formation, have a positive and significant impact on public accountability.
