Purpose: The decision to pursue a profession in accounting and one's future performance in that sector can be significantly influenced by the objectives and attitudes of students. Students can increase their chances of success by focusing on their education and training when they have a clear goal for their accounting career, such as a preferred profession or industry. Employers might be won over by a candidate with a strong work ethic, a feeling of responsibility, and timeliness. This should help the students improve their perception of the accounting profession even further. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine students' learning, intentions, and attitudes toward accounting career.
Method: This study tested its research model using an online survey and a quantitative methodology. 141 university students in Oman provided the survey sample data. Employing the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) version 4.0 software, data analysis and hypothesis testing were conducted.
Results: The result showed that the learning environment has a significant relationship with choosing an accounting career. Current knowledge seeking intention also have a substantial relationship with choosing an accounting career. However, the attitude of students does not affect choosing an accounting career.
Originality / relevance: This study adds to the corpus of research by analyzing students' intentions and attitudes for a career in accounting. Accounting educators may use these findings to modify the current curriculum to better meet students' culturally compatible perspective on the accounting field.
