ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research was examining the personality type and other factors
such as gender and GPA that may contribute to computer anxiety among accounting
students. The following questions guided this investigation: Does a relationship exist
between computer anxiety and accounting student’s personality type? Does a relationship
exist between accounting students’ gender, GPA and their computer anxiety?
Data for this study consisted of surveying accounting students of Economics and
Business Faculty of Gadjah Mada University. One hundred and thirty-nine (139) surveys
were distributed. One hundred and thirty-nine (139) instruments were returned,
representing a response rate of one hundred (100%) percent; fourteen participants
returned incomplete instruments which could not be used in this study.
Conclusions of this study are: computer anxiety does exist among accounting
students; there is significant relationship for those students who were classified as
sensing-intuitive and thinking-feeling and computerphobia; accounting students’ gender
and GPA don’t influence their computer anxiety.
