To be entrusted with or assigned a duty or charge. In many instances responsibility is assumed, appropriate with one's duties. Responsibility is distinct from accountability. A supervisor can assign responsibility but cannot give away his or her accountability: the manager is ultimately responsible.

However, the Service Center Manager was accountable for ensuring the assistant received training on how to fulfill her duties.
The term has several meanings. To be "causally responsible" is to cause something to happen, either directly or indirectly. To be "legally responsible" is to be held accountable under the law and be subject to legal consequences for one's actions. To be "morally responsible" is to have a moral obligation, for which the fulfillment or failure to fulfill is deserving of praise or blame. In both morality and law, one's responsibility is judged in the context of the ability to understand the nature and consequences of one's actions and to control one's behavior.
