Accounting-majored students in their final year of university program understand that they still have a long journey of both work and rigorous studies before earning their professional accounting designation. Even though the literature examines various factors, such as accountants' job status and lifestyle affecting students' self-efficacy, we argue that the perceived and persistent intrinsic passion of studying accounting as enjoyment becomes an important expected outcome from a high level of self-efficacy. Using survey questionnaires, this study explores what and how qualities of personal and environmental factors influence students' enjoyment to remain self-motivated. As expected, empirical results exhibit that some personal factors have larger positive impacts in shaping accounting students' level of enjoyment. Also, there are systematic differences in certain environmental factors that influence students' enjoyment of studying accounting between a North American small university and an Asian large university.
