Abstract

This research examines the determinants that affect the desire of intermediate-level students to acquire computerized accounting, a crucial competency for those aspiring to jobs in accounting and business management. Two hundred students from five institutions that provide commerce majors were surveyed using a quantitative method. The research employed a standardized Likert-scale questionnaire to find out how motivated people were from the inside and outside. The findings show that both intrinsic variables (like interest and pleasure in the topic) and extrinsic factors (like career relevance and academic incentives) have a big effect on how motivated students are. There were no statistically significant differences between men and women, however having used computers before was a major predictor of motivation. These results show how important it is to include real-world applications, career-relevant information, and digital literacy training to get students more interested in computerized accounting.
