Abstract

This study developed a new theoretical framework that may be used to examine the decision-making processes of Chinese students relating to the choice of major into overseas university. Elements from self-determination theory, expectancy-value theory, theory of reasoned action, and research on cultural dimensions have been adapted and incorporated into the theoretical framework. The framework proposes that cultural orientation variables and motivational variables influence the educational decision-making of Chinese students in the choice of accounting major in Australia.
