Abstract
Abstract An area of research in accounting education has been concerned with the academic performance of students in accounting courses. The major thrust of this research has attempted to identify or assess the effect of specific variables (or predictors) on students' performance. Little attention has been given to students' expectations and effort as predictors of performance. This study examines the relationship between effort-expectation and students' academic performance in managerial cost accounting. The reported correlation and regression results indicate that students' effort levels have a significant relationship with actual performance. In addition, students' expected performance and overall GPA were significantly correlated with actual performance. However, overall GPA was more significant than students' expected performance with the exception of the first exam in the course.
