Factors Impacting Academic Performance of First Year Accountancy Students at Walter Sisulu University
Abstract This article reports on a study that investigated the impact that scores in prerequisite high school subjects and location had on academic performance of first time entering students registered for the National Higher Certificate (NHC) Accountancy qualification in the 2012 and 2013 academic years at Walter Sisulu University (WSU) Butterworth Campus, South Africa. Using a quantitative approach, the study was a desktop survey where data on 84 students was obtained from the student administration and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The relationship between student academic performance and high school matriculation scores was tested using Pearson correlation tests. To test the impact of high school location, the means of student performances per each identified location were compared using Analysis of Variance. The students' matriculation scores in accounting were the only factor that was found to have a statistically significant relationship with their academic performance. The findings implied that the students' high school performance in accounting correlates positively with the performance of NHC Accountancy students. As such, it should be a key admission requirement into the programme if performance in this field is to be improved.

Even though male and female students privilege equal amenities in the university system, there is a significant performance lag between male and female students' academic accomplishments. In most cases, female students continue to outride the male student with a superior level of performance, which demarcates major gender specific performance disparities. Academic selfperception, attitude towards teachers, attitude towards school, goal valuation and motivation/ self regulation have been described as the most important factors affecting the level of academic success.

A survey questionnaire determined the level of academic performance, aspirations, attitudes and study habits. Official results of the CPA Licensure Examination were retrieved from the Professional Regulation Commission. The study employed frequency counts, weighted means, ranking and regression analysis as statistical tools. The respondents had good academic performance, high level of aspiration, favorable attitude towards Accounting and good study habits. Performance of graduates is above the national passing percentage, though, graduates do not make it in the first attempt. Graduates performed best in Theory of Accounts while the weakest performance is in Practical Accounting I. Academic performance, attitudes towards accounting and study habits are significantly related to the performance in the examination while level of aspirations was not related.

Descriptive correlational design was used wherein four hundred nineteen BSA graduates who took the board examinations from May 2014 to October 2018 were surveyed using a validated researcher made questionnaire. Documentary analysis was utilized for evaluating the data obtained from Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) Results revealed that the institutional passing rate generally failed to surpass the national passing rate; repeaters performed well than first time takers; May examinations schedule is higher than the average of October examinations; and that the examinees were generally weak in Taxation subject. Results also showed that student factors: high school academic rating, OLSAT non verbal ability, College GWA, college scholarship and attitude towards accounting influence the performance in the board examination. Statistical analysis indicated that school factors: faculty competency and school's facilities and resources have significant relationship with BLECPA. Lack of confidence due to unfamiliar topics/questions encountered during the review and actual board examination was the number one hindering factor experienced by the examinees. Results of the evaluation made by the respondent passers and non passers on the factors affecting the licensure examination showed that they differed significantly in their assessment on the respondents' attitude towards accounting, faculty competency and school's facilities and resources.

The use of human resources literature regarding the relationship between affect and student academic performance
Orientation: In human resources literature affect, or affectivity, has been identified as contributing, either negatively or positively, to different forms of performance in a range of different contexts. Research purpose: The aim of the study was to empirically test theory that predicts that affect can influence performance; in this case the academic performance of students in the South African higher education context. Motivation for the study: Human resources job performance theory seems to offer important insights when extended into other contexts of individual performance. The specific potential influence of affect on student performance is unclear in this context. Research design, approach and method: A non probability comprehensive sample of all students registered for first year accountancy n 719) was used. Confirmatory factor analysis, exploratory factor analysis and bivariate tests of association were used to empirically test theory predicting relationships between affect and student academic performance. Main findings: In general the findings support the predications derived from affect theory, that negative affect is negatively associated with student performance and that positive affect is positively associated with student performance. Yet, the results suggest that affect might not, in this context, reflect the two dimensional theoretical structure. In particular, negative affectivity might better be considered as a three dimensioned construct. Practical/managerial implications: These results suggest that proactive measures may need to be taken by higher education institutions to support first year students affectively. Student advisors or counsellors should be appointed, with a specific focus on providing support for student anxiety and other contextual frustrations to which individuals with higher levels of negative affect might be particularly vulnerable. Contribution: These findings provide new insights into the importance of extending human resource theory into different contexts. Knowledge of the specific potential constraints posed by affect to student performance is provided.
