Efficiency and Effectiveness of an Organisation
I would say the overall efficiency and effectiveness of an organisation depends on the quality of the 7 S-es of McKinsey (in combination with each other). So that means: 1. Superordinate Goals (also called Shared Values), 2. Strategy, 3. Structure, 4. Systems, 5. Staff, 6. Style, 7. Skills.
When talking about on who it depends inside the organization, I would say on all employees, managers, directors and leaders.
Note that external persons and entities like customers, suppliers, organizations and governments can also influence the efficiency and effectiveness of an organisation. See stakeholder analysis.

On Whom Does an Organization's Efficiency and Effectiveness Depend?
I see. Well, BOTH are important, but if I had to choose, I would then go for the MANAGER. Efficiency and effectiveness are not the primary concern nor responsibility of an individual average employee. Looking after these things is typically a responsibility / function of managers. See the POSDCORB center for more on the functions of managers.

Who is Responsible for the Efficiency and Effectiveness of Organizations
To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization, the processes and their alignment with the vision of the company must be established. I agree this is a task for MANAGERS, not for employees.

Who is Responsible of the Efficiency and Effectiveness of an Organization
@Jaap de Jonge: I agree to improve efficiency and effectiveness of an organization depends on the mission and vision of the organization and is the task of the MANAGER not the employee.

Who is Accountable for the Efficiency and Effectiveness of an Organization?
It could be argued that an organization's efficiency is a matter of tactics and primarily the responsibility of MANAGERS, while its effectiveness is more strategic in nature and primarily the task of its LEADER(S).
