Summary: The aim of this study was analyzing the relations between academic performance and motivation of Accounting students in a Brazilian public university based on Self-determination Theory. Methodologically, in order to reach that, structured questionnaires were applied in classrooms with the Brazilian version of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), in a sample of 316 students enrolled from second to tenth periods of that course, equivalent to 37.2% of the total number of students. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis (AFE) and multiple linear regression analysis with Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The regression analyzes indicated a significant relationship between motivation and academic performance. The factors related to intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation by identified regulation are positively correlated with academic performance of students. On the other hand, the introjected for regulation extrinsic motivation factor is negatively correlated with student’s academic performance coefficient (CRA). Based on the sample analyzed, the results showed that the relationship between motivation and CRA of the student depends on the type of motivation that is present in each one.

Para conseguirlo, se aplicaron en las aulas cuestionarios estructurados de la versión brasileña de la Escala de Motivación Académica (AMS), en una muestra de 316 estudiantes matriculados en los períodos de segundo a décimo del referido curso, lo que equivale al 37,2% del total de alumnos. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva, análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) y análisis de regresión lineal múltiple con Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios (MCO). Los análisis de regresión indicaron que existe una relación significativa entre la motivación y el rendimiento académico. Los factores relativos a la motivación intrínseca y a la motivación extrínseca por regulación identificada están positivamente correlacionados con el coeficiente de rendimiento académico (CRA) de los estudiantes, mientras que el factor relativo a la motivación por regulación extrínseca inducida está negativamente correlacionado con este coeficiente. Fue posible generalizar, en relación a la muestra empleada, que la relación existente entre motivación y coeficiente de rendimiento académico está en dependencia del tipo de motivación que prevalezca en cada estudiante.O propósito deste estudo foi analisar as relações entre desempenho acadêmico e motivação dos estudantes do Curso de Ciências Contábeis de uma universidade pública brasileira, com base na Teoria da Autodeterminação. Em termos metodológicos, para alcançar esse objetivo, foram aplicados questionários estruturados nas salas de aula, contendo a versão brasileira da Escala de Motivação Acadêmica (EMA), para uma amostra de 316 estudantes matriculados no segundo ao décimo períodos do referido curso, a qual equivale a 37,2% do total de discentes. Para análise dos dados, foram utilizadas: estatística descritiva, análise fatorial exploratória (AFE) e análise de regressão linear múltipla com mínimos quadrados ordinários (MQO). As análises de regressão indicaram relações significativas entre motivação e desempenho acadêmico. Os fatores relativos à motivação intrínseca e à motivação extrínseca por regulação identificada estão positivamente correlacionados com o coeficiente de rendimento acadêmico (CRA) dos discentes. Já o fator relativo à motivação por regulação extrínseca introjetada está negativamente correlacionado com o desempenho acadêmico. Com base na amostra analisada, os resultados evidenciaram que a relação existente entre motivação e o CRA do aluno depende do tipo de motivação presente em cada universitário. UFSC2017-08-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/contabilidade/article/view/2175-8069.2017v14n32p8910.5007/2175-8069.2017v14n32p89Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidade; v. 14 n. 32 (2017); 89-1072175-80691807-1821reponame:Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidade (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/contabilidade/article/view/2175-8069.2017v14n32p89/34988Copyright (c) 2017 Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBorges, Marina SalgadoMiranda, Gilberto JoséFreitas, Sheizi Calheira2017-09-22T13:48:29Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/42461Revistahttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/contabilidade/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/contabilidade/oaircc.cse@contato.ufsc.br2175-80691807-1821opendoar:2017-09-22T13:48:29Revista Contemporânea de Contabilidade (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
