Abstract

This study aims to test whether there is an effect of Basic Accounting Understanding, Computer Anxiety, Computer Attitude, and Social Factors on Accounting Students' Interest in Operating Accounting Software (Case Study on Students of the Accounting Study Program, Faculty of Economics, University of Flores).

This study uses data collection techniques with a questionnaire. Primary data were obtained directly from the respondents through filling out questionnaires which were distributed directly, while secondary data in the form of theories and other supporting data were obtained from the literature.

This is evidenced by the value of the regression coefficient of understanding basic accounting of 0.473 with a t-count value of (2.693 > 1.978) with a significant level of (0.008 <0.05). Computer anxiety affects the interest of accounting students in operating accounting software. This is evidenced by the value of the regression coefficient of computer anxiety of 0.174 with a t-count value of (2.269> 1.978) with a significant level of (0.025 <0.05). Computer attitude has an effect on the interest of accounting students in operating accounting software. This is evidenced by the value of the regression coefficient of computer attitude of 0.183 with a t-count value of (3.926 > 1.978) with a significant level of (0.000 <0.05). and the social factor variable has no effect on the interest of accounting students in operating accounting software.
