përgjegjësive

Përgjegjësive is the Albanian term for the set of duties, obligations, and accountability that a person or organization is expected to fulfill. In everyday usage it covers moral obligations, professional duties, and legal responsibilities, as well as the expectations associated with a particular role or position.

The concept appears in many contexts, including family life, work, and public life. For example, a parent has responsibilities toward the well‑being and education of their children; a manager has responsibilities related to planning, oversight, and decision‑making; a public official bears responsibilities to act lawfully and in the public interest. In legal and organizational contexts, përgjegjësive can denote liability and accountability in addition to duties. The term is often discussed alongside related ideas such as rights and powers, clarifying how duties relate to authority and governance.

A key nuance is that while tasks can be delegated, accountability often remains with the individual or unit that holds ultimate responsibility. This means that even when others perform certain duties, the primary actor may still be answerable for outcomes, good or bad, within a given system or contract.

Translation and usage vary by context. In English, përgjegjësive is typically rendered as "responsibilities" or "duties," though in legal contexts it can also imply liability. The plural form emphasizes a collection of obligations attached to a role, contract, or institution.
