Legitimacy
Legitimacy is a generalized perception or assumption that the actions of an entity are desirable, proper, or appropriate within some socially constructed system of norms, values, beliefs, and definitions. (Suchman, 1995, p.574)

Legitimacy
Legitimacy is also treated as an intangible resource conferred by both internal and external stakeholders. Therefore, the link between organizational legitimacy and accountability is that the recognition from key stakeholders certainly increases one organizations accountability.
