Abstract

INTRODUCTION

One of the most essential parts of driving someone's life and career to success is becoming a literate and educated individual. Grade Point Average is a requirement in applying for a job but, not typically saying it is a qualification and a basis in evaluating the job performance rating. The main purpose of this study is to determine if Grade Point Average has a significant relationship with the job performance of the accountants.

METHODS

The research study used correlational and descriptive research designs to attain the purpose of the study. The researchers used the convenience sampling method based on the convenience and availability of the respondents. The questionnaire was used as an instrument, using a Likert Scale type of inquiry through the use of Google Forms. Thirty (30) accountants served as respondents for this study. The gathered information was analyzed and interpreted using the statistical tool Pearson Product MomentCorrelation and these data were presented in graphical and tabular presentations.

RESULTS

The results of the study showed that the majority of the accountants are good in terms of their Grade Point Average in college resulting in a high weighted mean. In testing the relationship of the two variables, it has resulted in a weak positive correlation having a Pearson r of 0.37767. This led to an interpretation that the Grade Point Average was statistically significant in relation to the job performance of accountants therefore, the null hypothesis of the study was rejected.

DISCUSSIONS

In accordance with the results, the Grade Point Average has a low impact on the performance of the accountants since in other companies, experience counts much. However, students should be aware of the relevance of Grade point average to their future career
