THE EFFECTS OF ACCOUNTANT PROFESSIONALS’ SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY PERCEPTIONS ON SELF ESTEEM AND JOB PERFORMANCE1
Abstract
This study aims to survey how accountant professional's social responsibility perceptions affect their self esteem and job performance perceptions. In order to achieve that 229 profession members’ (ICPA, CPA) perceptions in the sense of research parameters have been quantified by questionnaires and the findings have been used in structural equation modelling. Findings obtained from the result of the analysis show that; (a) there is a positive and significant relationship between the social responsibility perceptions towards stakeholders and professional accountants’ self-esteem, and (b) there is a directly proportional and significant positive relationship between self-esteem level and performance level, and (c) there is also a positive relationship between social responsibility perceptions and professional accountants’ job performance.
