and Sagiv (1995), data were collected from 449 accounting students of Rajamangala University of
Technology, and Lanna and Mahasarakham Universities. The data were analyzed by confirmatory

Thailand fit the empirical data. The dimensions of accounting students’ instrumental value were
composed of conformity, self-direction and virtue. Furthermore, the dimensions of accounting
student’ terminal value consist of hedonism, idealism, security, and self-actualization. This research
enables a better understanding of personal value of accounting students and may support the
