Through a series of related studies the behavioral study of accountants has evolved as a body of knowledge focused on the practice of public accounting as a professionalized bureaucracy with special behavioral conditions surrounding the employment accessions (hiring) and separations (turnover). These studies have developed a common core of research findings over the past 25 years and now form the foundation of a new school of behavioral research in accounting.
