Abstract/Summary

The benefits of internship programs to subsequent academic performance have been widely studied for years. The studies showed increased performance among students. But the benefits of internship programs extend beyond the academe. The aim of this paper is to determine the relationship of undergraduate accounting internship program and subsequent professional performance in Class A auditing firms within Metro Manila. Subsequent professional performance was measured using organizational commitment, job satisfaction, absenteeism and promotion rate.

The researchers used a survey to evaluate the performance of the Certified Public Accountant employees of the auditing firms. A Likert-scaled questionnaire was used to assess the different performance measures. After the survey, the responses were summarized using descriptive statistics. Then, the difference between the performance of the internship group and non-internship group was analyzed using the Student’s t-test and the Mann-Whitney U-test. Furthermore, the point-biserial correlation analysis was done to evaluate the relationship between the variables.

The employees from both groups were performing generally committed to their organization, satisfied with their work and have very low absenteeism rate. Subsequent professional performance of the interns was predominantly different from that of the non-interns. In general, there is a weak positive relationship between internship program and subsequent professional performance as shown by the point-biserial correlation coefficient calculated.
