چکیده

مقدمه: با نزدیک شدن به پایان دوره مالی، فشار کاری حسابرسان دوچندان می‌شود و همین موضوع، فشار زیادی را بر ذهن آنان برای خودکنترلی وارد می‌کند. در واقع، این موضوع بستری را فراهم می‌کند تا قدرت قضاوت و تصمیم‌گیری حسابرسان تحت تأثیر قرار گیرد.
روش پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر کاربردی و از نظر روش گردآوری داده‌ها، جزء پژوهش‌های همبستگی است. نمونه پژوهش متشکل از 98 نفر حسابرس مشغول به کار در مؤسسه‌های حسابرسی است. در این پژوهش با بکارگیری آزمون اثر استروپ‌‌، فرسایش قدرت خودکنترلی هارلی‌ مورد سنجش قرار گرفته و هم‌چنین، از مقیاس کیفیت قضاوت و معیار سنجش تردید حرفه‌ای و اعتماد به نفس ‌هارت استفاده شده است.
یافته‌ها: نتایج پژوهش نشان می‌دهد که فرسایش قدرت خودکنترلی بر تردید حرفه‌ای و کیفیت قضاوت حسابرسان تأثیر منفی و معنی‌داری دارد اما اثر فرسایش قدرت خودکنترلی بر اعتماد به نفس حسابرسان معنی‌دار نیست.
نتیجه‌گیری: بر اساس نتایج پژوهش حاضر به مؤسسه‌های حسابرسی و کارفرمایان حسابرسان توصیه می‌شود از تحت فشار قرار دادن حسابرسان در یک زمان کوتاه خودداری کنند. هم‌چنین، پیشنهاد می‌شود جلساتی برای حسابرسان برگزار و به آنان آرامش ذهنی آموزش داده شود تا از این طریق بتوانند خستگی خود را هنگام کار کاهش دهند.
