Abstract in English, Afrikaans and Setswana / The study was prompted by the decline in accounting enrolments and the ongoing criticism due to learners’ poor performance in the Accounting subject in South Africa.
Given the increasing need for accounting graduates and, more importantly, qualified
accounting professionals, this study investigated the preconceived perceptions
participating high school learners in selected schools in the Mafikeng area had about
the accounting profession at the time of this study.
The study drew on a rich body of existing literature and adopted the social cognitive
career theory of Lent, Brown and Hackett (1994) to explore the factors influencing
career interests of learners in accounting as a career path. A quantitative research
approach with a survey questionnaire, framed within a positivist paradigm, was used
to elicit opinions from learners. The findings revealed that work satisfaction, earnings
potential, self-efficacy, personal interest, offering Accounting as a subject and having
an accountant in the family are among the factors that significantly influenced
participating learners’ career interests in accounting. / Die studie is aangespoor deur die afname in rekeningkunde-inskrywings en die deurlopende kritiek van leerders se swak prestasie in rekeningkunde in Suid-Afrika.
Gegewe die toenemende behoefte vir rekeningkundegegradueerdes en, meer
belangrik, gekwalifiseerde rekeningkundepraktisyns, ondersoek hierdie studie die
huidige vooropgestelde persepsies wat hoërskoolleerders in Suid-Afrika van die
rekeningkundige beroep het.
Die studie benut die omvattende bestaande literatuur en aanvaar die sosiaal
kognitiewe loopbaanteorie van Lent, Brown en Hackett (1994) om die faktore te
ondersoek wat die belangstelling van leerders in rekeningkunde as 'n loopbaanrigting
beïnvloed. 'n Kwantitatiewe navorsingsbenadering met 'n opnamevraelys, binne 'n
positivistiese paradigma, is gebruik om menings van leerders te ontlok. Die bevindings
het gewys dat werksbevrediging, verdienstepotensiaal, selfwerksaamheid, persoonlike
belang, die aanbied van rekeningkunde as 'n vak en 'n rekeningkundige in die gesin
van die faktore is wat leerders se loopbaanbelangstelling in rekeningkunde beduidend
