Investigating the relationship between organizational learning and job satisfaction of auditing trainees

One of the important motivations of accounting graduates to enter the auditing profession is gaining experience and learning. Job satisfaction of novice auditing staff is largely related to their learning and training in auditing firms. In the present study, we examine the relationship between organizational learning and job satisfaction of novice auditors. This research is of quantitative type and is in the category of descriptive studies. A questionnaire was used to collect research data. Due to the uncertainty of the population, 385 questionnaires were received in 1399 from novice auditors working in auditing firms and the auditing organization. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The present study had four main findings.The first finding indicates a positive relationship between workplace interactions and auditors' job satisfaction. The second finding showed that guidance and supervision have a positive and significant relationship with job satisfaction of auditing trainees. The third finding indicates a positive relationship between support information systems and job satisfaction of auditing trainees and finally the final finding results from a positive relationship between organizational learning and auditing trainees' job satisfaction. The results showed that organizational learning increases the job satisfaction of novice auditors. This demonstrates the ability of auditing firms to create job satisfaction among their novice staff through training them.
