Abstract:
Of the three motivation factors, the grade the student would like to earn had strong association with student performance but only at the commuter school. Intention to take the CPA exam or attend graduate school had no associations with student performance at either school. Prior actual ability variables (Intermediate Accounting II grade and GPA) and self-perceived reading ability had strong associations with student performance but only at the commuter school. Surprisingly, holding non-accounting-related jobs, working too many hours per week, and carrying higher course loads, had no significant negative associations with student performance in the Auditing course at either school.
