 note = {Accountability has been positioned as an important concept in the field of social work in Japan, but its meaning has not been fully examined. This study aims to explore early-stage discussions on accountability in social services in the United States. Nine articles regarding accountability were found in the Journal of Social Work in the 1970s. The discussions were reexamined through elements of accountability from a perspective wherein accountability includes five essential factors, that is, the answers to “who,” “to whom,” “about what,” “why,” and “how.” To recognize the need for and meet the demands of accountability, the discussions at this time considered evaluation methods to clarify the accountability of scientific evidence in social services. Since then, accountability has been discussed as an issue of organizational management, with emphasis on program design and evaluation of social services covering accountability and stakeholder management. As a result, the identified problem was that it was unclear to whom and about what accountability should be maintained.
Moreover, it was considered important to identify a variety of client-centered stakeholders, communicate with them, and actively invite them to participate in the process of building and improving social services.},
