Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of adaptability on accounting judgment and accounting performance. Data was collected from 201 accountants in Rayong by questionnaire mail survey. The statistic used to analyze is the ordinary least square regression. The results reveal that three dimensions of adaptability (including problem-solving ability, reality-testing ability and flexibility) have a significant positive association with accounting judgment and accounting performance. Furthermore, accounting judgment has a positive influence on accounting performance. Theoretical and professional contributions, conclusion and directions for future research are highlighted.
