%T THE INFLUENCES OF PERSONALITY AND COGNITIVE
PERCEPTION TOWARDS THE STUDENTS? INTENTION TO USE
DATABASE SOFTWARE AT THE COMPUTERIZED ACCOUNTING
VOCATIONAL COLLEGES IN LAMPUNG PROVINCE
%X This research aims to empirically investigate the influences of the
personality and cognitive factors towards the students? intention to use the
database software at the computerized accounting vocational colleges in Lampung
province. In order to answer the hypotheses, this research applies a survey study
with 301 computerized accounting vocational students. Based on these samples I
test using structural equation modeling of AMOS? (Analysis of Moment
Structure) software.
The result of the study indicates that the estimations of the regression
weights coefficient, standardized regression weights and critical ratio, has led to
the conclusion that statistically, the first hypothesis is not supported whereas the
second, the third, as well as the fourth hypothesis are statistically supported.
In conclusion, based on the order of the hypotheses tests of the influencing
variables, it is the cognitive factor that shows stronger influence than the
personality towards the students? intention to use the database software.In
addition , based on the low score of the standardized regression wights coefficient ,
it can be concluded thus, that the students? intention to use the database software
at the computerized accounting vocational colleges in Lampung Province is
relatively low.
Key Words : personality, cognitive, intention, database software

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji secara empiris tentang pengaruh
faktor-faktor personality dan cognitive terhadap intention menggunakan perangkat
lunak basis data pada mahasiswa vokasi komputerisasi akuntansi di Propinsi
Lampung. Untuk menjawab hipotesis, penelitian ini menerapkan studi survey
terhadap 301 mahasiswa vokasi komputerisasi akuntansi. Berdasarkan data
sampel tersebut, penulis melakukan uji hipotesis menggunakan structural
equation modeling dengan perangkat lunak AMOS? (Analysis of Moment
Structure).
Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa estimasi dari koefesien regression
weights, standardized regression weights dan critical ratio, menghasilkan
simpulan bahwa secara statistis hipotesis kesatu tidak terdukung, sedangkan
hipotesis kedua, ketiga dan keempat secara statistis terdukung.
Sebagai simpulan, berdasarkan urutan uji hipotesis variabel pengaruh,
faktor cognitive-lah yang berpengaruh lebih kuat dibandingkan personality
terhadap intention untuk menggunakan perangkat lunak basis data. Selanjutnya,
penghitungan koefisien standardized regression weights keseluruhan
menunjukkan nilai yang relatif rendah. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa intention
mahasiswa vokasi komputerisasi akuntansi di Propinsi Lampung relatif masih
rendah dalam menggunakan perangkat lunak basis data.
Kata Kunci : personality, cognitive, intention, perangkat lunak basis data
