Rita Anugerah, Rizqa Anita, Ria Nelly Sari, and Raisya Zenita

Abstract— The purpose of this study is to develop and test a comprehensive model of reduced audit quality behavior. Specifically, this study examines the effects of external locus of control, auditor performance, and organizational commitment on reduced audit quality behavior. To test the hypotheses, a Partial Least Square analysis is applied to questionnaire survey data from 97 auditor working in public accounting firm in Sumatera Island, Indonesia. As hypothesized, the result revealed the existence of a positive influence of external locus of control on reduced audit quality behavior. In addition, auditors performance and organizational commitment also have a negative influence on reduced audit quality behavior. Result also indicates that externals locus of control has an indirect effect on reduced audit quality behavior through auditors performance and organizational commitment. Organizational commitment has an indirect effect on reduced audit quality behavior through auditors performance.

Index Terms— External locus of control, auditors performance, organizational commitment, and reduced audit quality behavior.
