PurposeThis research examines the influence of the learning environment and students' attitudes towards choosing an accounting career mediated by intention to enhance the current knowledge.Design/methodology/approachThe online survey is adopted to test the research model of this research. There are 503 useable responses collected with the effective response rate of 72 per cent. Data analysis and hypothesis testing use Partial Least Square as part of the Structural Equation Modelling technique.FindingsThe results of this research indicate that accounting students possess positive attitude both towards the intention to enhance the current knowledge and choosing their accounting career. The learning environment includes educators and friends who give significant influence on students' intention. Besides, current knowledge enhancement is also discovered to be able to mediate the link between attitude, learning environment and intention to choose accounting career.Research limitations/implicationsDifferent generations may generate either different perception or different orientation in choosing accounting career. Therefore, future research can consider wider coverage and more updated object.Practical implicationsFindings of this research suggest that periodic improvement and renewal are necessary to administer to create an optimum learning environment, in term of teachers' capacity, teaching materials and supporting social environment.Originality/valueThis research contributes to any research related to attitudes towards choosing an accounting career. This study is the leading study that combines students' attitudes, learning environment, current knowledge enhancement, and career choice in one single model.
Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh persepsi lingkungan belajar (PLB) terhadap niat dalam memilih karier akuntansi (MKA), dengan variabel mediasi keinginan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan saat ini (KMP). Pendekatan penelitian survei online diadopsi untuk menguji variabel dalam penelitian ini. Data yang digunakan adalah hasil survei pada 503 mahasiswa jurusan akuntansi di wilayah Jawa. Data tersebut kemudian dianalisis dan hipotesis diuji menggunakan partial least squares structural equation modelling techniques. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa minat mahasiswa untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan saat ini ditemukan memiliki kemampuan untuk memediasi hubungan antara persepsi lingkungan belajar dengan keinginan untuk memilih karier akuntansi. Perbedaan generasi dapat membuat perbedaan persepsi dan orientasi dalam memilih karier akuntansi. Maka dari itu penelitian selanjutnya dapat mempertimbangkan cakupan yang lebih luas dan objek yang lebih terbaru. Penelitian ini menggabungkan variabel learning environment, current knowledge enhancement dan career choice ke dalam satu model penelitian dimana dalam penelitian sebelumnya variabel-variabel ini belum pernah dihubungkan menjadi satu.
