Pertanggungjawaban direksi bersifat pribadi apabila kerugian yang dialami perseroan disebabkan kesalahan atau kelalaian individu anggota direksi. Pertanggungjawaban direksi bersifat kolektif apabila kerugian perseroan diakibatkan adanya kesalahan atau kelalaian dalam keputusan atau tindakan dewan direksi. Perlindungan hukum terhadap direksi dalam pengurusan perusahaan diberikan jika pengurusan tersebut didasarkan pada itikad baik dan hati-hati, yang dikenali sebagai doktrin business judgement rule.
