Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of accounting education, motivation, and the availability of job information on accounting students' interest in a career as an accountant. The phenomenon of shifting student interest in choosing a career outside accounting may threaten the availability of professional accountants in the future. Using a quantitative approach and a systematic survey design, data were collected from 100 students of accounting study programs in Medan who had taken the "Basic Accounting" course. The analysis results show that accounting education has a significant influence on student interest (T-statistic 2.927, P-Value 0.002), followed by learning motivation (T-statistic 4.214, P-Value 0.000) and availability of job information (T-statistic 2.715, P-Value 0.043). The R² value of 0.757 indicates that the three variables explain 75% of the variation in students' interest in a career as an accountant. These findings emphasize the importance of improving the quality of accounting education, strong motivation among students, and adequate access to job information. Recommendations are given for universities to design more relevant and informative educational programs to increase students' interest in the accounting profession in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

This study looks at how debt policy in health sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is influenced by institutional ownership, company size, and profitability. Data was collected through a quantitative approach from annual financial reports for the years 2019-2023. After considering outlier data, the study population consisted of 34 businesses, which resulted in 31 observations through purposive sampling method. The analysis was conducted with classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression using the SPSS software program. The results show that firm size has no significant effect on debt policy, but institutional ownership and profitability have a significant effect. The model is free from heteroscedasticity, normality, and multicollinearity problems thanks to the classical assumption test. According to the regression analysis, the model can explain 62.1% of the variation in debt policy. The study found that, although more profitable firms tend to rely on internal funding sources, institutional ownership can serve as a monitoring tool. However, firm size is not a major factor in debt policy making. This study provides practical implications for corporate financial management in the healthcare industry and helps investors assess the factors that influence corporate funding structure. It is expected that future research will analyze more variables due to research limitations, such as the small sample size and relatively short research time.
