Theoretical Contribution

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate factors that influence accounting students’ preference toward career paths. Career path refers to the choices of jobs and occupational positions an individual may choose to hold. Accounting students may choose to advance their career into one of the following areas: financial accounting, management accounting, taxation, auditing, finance, etc. According to past literature, choices of career path are influenced by intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, third parties, and career exposure. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered survey was used to collect data from students in a reputable private university in Malaysia. This university recruits a huge number of accounting students annually for its accounting program. A total of 306 questionnaires were collected for data analysis using statistical analysis system. Findings The findings of the study suggest that undergraduate accounting students are more influenced by intrinsic motivation and career exposure in selecting their career paths, whereas third parties and extrinsic motivation are less likely to influence undergraduate accounting students’ career choices. Research limitations/implications The results, however, could not be generalized to all accounting students in Malaysia since the study was collected from only one private university in Malaysia and non-probability sampling technique was applied. The theoretical contribution of this study is the inclusion of new variables in the model. Practical implications Professional accounting bodies may benefit from the findings of this study as it may provide a basis in designing member recruitment strategies. Originality/value This paper fulfills an identified need to study how shortage of certain career path for accounting students could be resolved.

Professional Performance

This study investigates the factors that influence students in choosing a career path in accounting. The decision to choose a career path needs to be detected early because it has an impact on future professional performance which determines both the individual’s social position, style and standard of living, and life satisfaction. This study examines the factors that influence the career paths of accounting students through the social cognitive career theory. Based on this theory, the relationship between career path and driving factors such as intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, third party influence, career exposure, is identified. The online survey was conducted on 333 respondents. Through regression analysis, this study found that intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation and career exposure have a positive effect while third parties influences do not have a significant value on career paths. These findings could be useful for policy makers and higher education institutions to provide a more supportive environment that will foster interest among accounting students to be motivated in choosing career paths in accounting.

To move Malaysia to a developing nation, 60,000 professionally qualified accountants are needed by 2030. However, as of April 2017, only 33,000 accountants have registered as members of the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA). The purpose of this research is to analyse students’ behaviour on the motivational factors to obtain professional accounting qualifications. This study gathered the response of 187 students as samples from the only public university in Malaysia that offers ACCA professional accounting certificate. The results show that most students are motivated by intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, while there is no relationship between third parties’ influence and demographic factors with the decision to pursue a professional accounting qualification.
