Majoring in accounting: Effects of gender, difficulty, career opportunities, and the impostor phenomenon on student choice

Staff level public accounting firm employees are roughly gender-balanced, leading one to believe accounting majors should be similarly balanced. However, some universities find their female-identifying student population to be smaller than expected. Students have many reasons for choosing a particul...

520			\|a Staff level public accounting firm employees are roughly gender-balanced, leading one to believe accounting majors should be similarly balanced. However, some universities find their female-identifying student population to be smaller than expected. Students have many reasons for choosing a particular major, including personality fit, subject aptitude, and career opportunities. Likewise, students may avoid certain majors due to perceived difficulty and feelings of impostor phenomenon (IP), which can be described as a feeling of not being good enough or smart enough despite evidence to the contrary. This study seeks to discover how gender, perceived difficulty, impostor phenomenon, and perceived opportunity impact a student’s decision to major in accounting. We find that those who rate career opportunities as high relative to other majors are more likely to choose accounting as a major. Additionally, students with high IP are more likely to major in accounting than other students. Interestingly, women with high IP who also perceive accounting to be a difficult major are even more likely to major in accounting than other students. This appears to be due to the common drive of high IP individuals to continue to strive to convince themselves and others that they are not the impostors they believe themselves to be.

However, some universities find their female-identifying student population to be smaller than expected. Students have many reasons for choosing a particular major, including personality fit, subject aptitude, and career opportunities. Likewise, students may avoid certain majors due to perceived difficulty and feelings of impostor phenomenon (IP), which can be described as a feeling of not being good enough or smart enough despite evidence to the contrary. This study seeks to discover how gender, perceived difficulty, impostor phenomenon, and perceived opportunity impact a student’s decision to major in accounting. We find that those who rate career opportunities as high relative to other majors are more likely to choose accounting as a major. Additionally, students with high IP are more likely to major in accounting than other students. Interestingly, women with high IP who also perceive accounting to be a difficult major are even more likely to major in accounting than other students. This appears to be due to the common drive of high IP individuals to continue to strive to convince themselves and others that they are not the impostors they believe themselves to be. 1.1\x Rechnungswesen (DE-2867)12307-0 stw 1.2\x Betriebswirtschaftsstudium (DE-2867)18872-2 stw 1.3\x Wirtschaftspädagogik (DE-2867)15684-4 stw Accounting education Major choice Gender Impostor phenomenon Garcia, Joanna L. verfasserin (orcid)0000-0002-3901-0690 aut Webinger, Mariah verfasserin aut Enthalten in Journal of accounting education Amsterdam : Elsevier, 1983 53 Online-Ressource (DE-627)320594394 (DE-600)2019356-7 (DE-576)259485055 0748-5751 nnns volume:53 GBV_USEFLAG_U SYSFLAG_U GBV_ELV GBV_ILN_20 GBV_ILN_22 GBV_ILN_23 GBV_ILN_24 GBV_ILN_31 GBV_ILN_32 GBV_ILN_40 GBV_ILN_60 GBV_ILN_62 GBV_ILN_63 GBV_ILN_65 GBV_ILN_69 GBV_ILN_70 GBV_ILN_73 GBV_ILN_74 GBV_ILN_90 GBV_ILN_95 GBV_ILN_100 GBV_ILN_105 GBV_ILN_110 GBV_ILN_151 GBV_ILN_224 GBV_ILN_370 GBV_ILN_602 GBV_ILN_702 GBV_ILN_2003 GBV_ILN_2004 GBV_ILN_2005 GBV_ILN_2011 GBV_ILN_2014 GBV_ILN_2015 GBV_ILN_2020 GBV_ILN_2021 GBV_ILN_2025 GBV_ILN_2027 GBV_ILN_2034 GBV_ILN_2038 GBV_ILN_2044 GBV_ILN_2048 GBV_ILN_2049 GBV_ILN_2050 GBV_ILN_2056 GBV_ILN_2059 GBV_ILN_2061 GBV_ILN_2064 GBV_ILN_2065 GBV_ILN_2068 GBV_ILN_2111 GBV_ILN_2112 GBV_ILN_2113 GBV_ILN_2118 GBV_ILN_2122 GBV_ILN_2129 GBV_ILN_2143 GBV_ILN_2147 GBV_ILN_2148 GBV_ILN_2152 GBV_ILN_2153 GBV_ILN_2190 GBV_ILN_2336 GBV_ILN_2507 GBV_ILN_2522 GBV_ILN_4035 GBV_ILN_4037 GBV_ILN_4112 GBV_ILN_4125 GBV_ILN_4126 GBV_ILN_4242 GBV_ILN_4251 GBV_ILN_4305 GBV_ILN_4313 GBV_ILN_4323 GBV_ILN_4324 GBV_ILN_4325 GBV_ILN_4326 GBV_ILN_4333 GBV_ILN_4334 GBV_ILN_4335 GBV_ILN_4338 GBV_ILN_4393 AR 53

abstract	Staff level public accounting firm employees are roughly gender-balanced, leading one to believe accounting majors should be similarly balanced. However, some universities find their female-identifying student population to be smaller than expected. Students have many reasons for choosing a particular major, including personality fit, subject aptitude, and career opportunities. Likewise, students may avoid certain majors due to perceived difficulty and feelings of impostor phenomenon (IP), which can be described as a feeling of not being good enough or smart enough despite evidence to the contrary. This study seeks to discover how gender, perceived difficulty, impostor phenomenon, and perceived opportunity impact a student’s decision to major in accounting. We find that those who rate career opportunities as high relative to other majors are more likely to choose accounting as a major. Additionally, students with high IP are more likely to major in accounting than other students. Interestingly, women with high IP who also perceive accounting to be a difficult major are even more likely to major in accounting than other students. This appears to be due to the common drive of high IP individuals to continue to strive to convince themselves and others that they are not the impostors they believe themselves to be.
