Përgjegjësitë

Përgjegjësitë, literally “responsibilities” in Albanian, refer to the duties and obligations that an individual or organization is expected to fulfill. The term is used across personal, professional, and civic contexts to describe what is due or expected of a role holder. The plural form emphasizes that duties are often multiple and interrelated.

In personal life, responsibilities include care for family, adherence to laws, and self-management. In the workplace, they are defined by job descriptions, professional standards, and organizational policies. In civil life, citizens bear responsibilities such as obeying laws, participating in democratic processes, and respecting the rights of others.

Responsibilities are closely linked to accountability—being answerable for the outcomes of one’s duties. They are reinforced by norms, codes of conduct, contracts, and legal frameworks, and may be assigned or assumed by choice. Failure to meet responsibilities can lead to sanctions, loss of trust, or consequences for others who depend on them.

Discussion of Përgjegjësitë often appears in education, management, and governance, where clear delineation of duties improves reliability and performance. The concept also extends to non-material duties, such as ethical obligations to act in the interest of others or the environment.
