Abstract

The objective of the research was to analyze the factors influencing accounting students to understand accounting with spiritual quotient as the moderating variable (an empirical study on Students of University of Sumatera Utara (USU), State University of Medan (UNIMED), and State Islamic University of Sumatera Utara (UINSU)). This is a causal associative research. The population of the research was 458 students majoring in accounting. The samples were determined by cluster random sampling method and taken by using incidental random sampling technique. The samples were determined by proportional calculation. The data were primary data obtained through questionnaires from 139 respondents consisting of 69 accounting students from USU, 47 accounting students from UNIMED and 23 sharia accounting students from UINSU. The data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis method and residual testing. The results showed that self-recognition, self-control, motivation, empathy, social skills, and learning behavior simultaneously had a significant positive influence on USU, UNIMED and UINSU students to understand of accounting. Partially, self-recognition, self-control, motivation, empathy, and social skill did not have any influences on USU, UNIMED and UINSU students to understand accounting while learning behavior had a significant influence on USU, UNIMED, and UINSU students to understand accounting. Spiritual quotient was the moderating variable that could strengthen the correlation of self-recognition, self-control, motivation, empathy, social skill, and learning behavior with USU, UNIMED and UINSU students to understand accounting.
