The study focuses on the factors influencing the intention of students at
the University of Finance – Marketing to work in the accounting field,
based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). The aim is to identify
and analyze the impact of factors such as intrinsic value, financial rewards,
career recognition, job market conditions, and faculty on the intention
to pursue a career in accounting and auditing. Data was collected from
312 students via an online questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS 26.0.
The research methods include Cronbach’s Alpha reliability analysis,
Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and linear regression analysis. The
results indicate that all the factors studied have a significant impact on
the intention to work in the accounting field. Among these, faculty has
the strongest influence, followed by intrinsic value, job market conditions,
financial rewards, and career recognition. All these factors play a crucial
role in maintaining students’ career choices in accounting. The findings
offer several recommendations for the university and relevant authorities
on creating solutions and policies that motivate students to stay committed
to their chosen career path, prevent the waste of social resources, and
cultivate a high-quality accounting workforce for the economy.
