The relationship between accountability and performance is still blurred and continues to be contested since the possible relationship is understudied. There is a strong need for new studies that attempt to illuminate the possible linkage between accountability and performance. This study aims to understand and illuminate this possible linkage. For this aim, a qualitative study has been conducted in a metropolitan municipality as a governmental organization in Turkey. In the end, a recursive linkage between accountability and performance has been explored and defined. Under this title two different form of relationships are also defined in detail: linear sequencing and incremental sequencing.
