Abstract

Abstract This study adds to the regional and global discourse and understanding of gender stereotyping in accounting education in a Middle Eastern context by investigating the impact of family, society, and the accountants’ work environment as being more suitable for men, on majoring in accounting. Data were collected through a field survey from 830 business students from three universities in Jordan. Structural equation analyses of the quantitative data show a significant influence of patriarchal values on college students and gender stereotyping of accounting as a profession. Accountants’ work environments are still perceived by respondents as being more suitable for men, reflecting slow social changes and denying the accounting profession diversity and the potential contributions of women to the profession.

会计教育中的性别刻板印象，为什么很少有女学生选择会计

摘要本研究通过调查家庭、社会和会计师更适合男性的工作环境对会计专业的影响，增加了地区和全球对中东背景下会计教育中性别陈规定型观念的讨论和理解。数据是通过对约旦三所大学830名商科学生的实地调查收集的。定量数据的结构方程分析表明，父权制价值观和会计职业的性别刻板印象对大学生有显著影响。受访者仍然认为会计师的工作环境更适合男性，这反映出社会变革缓慢，并否认会计职业的多样性和女性对该职业的潜在贡献。
