The impact of employee motivation and job performance: the mediating role of accounting related digital systems (ARDS)

This study aims to examine the impact of employee motivation and job performance by focusing on the mediating role of accounting-related digital systems among employees using accounting software. In today's era of digital transformation, technology-based accounting systems such as Accounting Information Systems (AIS) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) have revolutionized the way organisations manage financial data and daily operations. However, the implementation of these systems does not always guarantee improved job performance without a high level of employee motivation. This study adopts a quantitative approach by distributing questionnaires to employees using accounting software in the financial and accounting service industry in Malaysia. The findings indicate that employee motivation has a significant impact on job performance, and accounting-related digital systems play a crucial mediating role between these two variables. These findings offer important implications for human resource managers in developing training and development strategies that enhance technology adoption and overall organisational performance
