چکیده
هدف: با توجه به جایگاه و نقش موسسات حسابرسی در تصمیمات استفاده‌کنندگان، کیفیت کار موسسات حسابرسی به‌عنوان عوامل کلیدی در تهیه گزارش­‌های حسابرسی قلمداد می‌­شوند. عوامل متعددی وجود دارد که بر بهتر شدن کیفیت حسابرسی اثر شایان توجهی می‌گذارند و از طرفی، عوامل متعددی نیز کیفیت رسیدگی‌­ها را کاهش می‌دهند. رفتارهای تقلیل‌­دهنده کیفیت حسابرسی، رفتارهای عمدی هستند که در اثر کاهش اسناد و مدارک پشتوانه در بررسی­‌ها، نقش حسابرس را به خطر می­‌اندازند. حسابرسان برای اعتباردهی و اظهارنظر، موظف‌­اند برنامه‌­های حسابرسی خود را در چارچوب استاندارهای حسابرسی که به‌­عنوان معیار ارزیابی کیفیت کار حسابرسان شناخته می‌شود، تدوین و اجرا کنند. ازجمله عواملی که انتظار می‌رود بر رفتارهای تهدیدکننده کیفیت حسابرسی موثر باشد، می‌­توان به عضویت در تیم‌­های متعدد، تاب‌آوری و یادگیری حسابرس اشاره کرد. لذا هدف این پژوهش بررسی تاثیر عضویت در تیم­‌های متعدد بر رفتارهای تهدید‌کننده کیفیت حسابرسی، با توجه به نقش تاب‌آوری و یادگیری حسابرس است.
روش‌شناسی پژوهش: در راستای هدف پژوهش، پنج فرضیه تدوین شده است. این پژوهش از لحاظ ماهیت از نوع توصیفی-همبستگی است و در شمار پژوهش­‌های کاربردی محسوب می­‌شود. جامعه آماری این پژوهش حسابرسان سازمان حرفه حسابرسی در ایران بود، که با استفاده از فرمول کوکران تعداد 280 نفر به‌عنوان نمونه پژوهش انتخاب شد. برای آزمون فرضیه‌های این پژوهش از آزمون‌های معادلات ساختاری در نرم‌افزار پیالاس استفاده شده است.
یافته‌ها: یافته‌های حاصل از آزمون فرضیه اول پژوهش نشان داد که عضویت در تیم­‌های متعدد تاثیر معناداری بر یادگیری حسابرس دارد. نتایج حاصل از آزمون فرضیه­ دوم نشان داد که تاب‌آوری حسابرس تاثیر عضویت در تیم‌­های متعدد بر یادگیری حسابرس را تعدیل می‌­کند. نتایج آزمون فرضیه­ سوم نشان داد که یادگیری حسابرس تاثیر معناداری بر رفتارهای تهدیدکننده کیفیت حسابرسی دارد. همچنین نتایج حاصل از آزمون فرضیه چهارم پژوهش نشان داد که عضویت در تیم­‌های متعدد تاثیر معناداری بر رفتارهای تهدیدکننده کیفیت حسابرسی دارد. نتایج حاصل از آزمون فرضیه­ پنجم نشان داد که یادگیری حسابرس تاثیر عضویت در تیم‌­های متعدد بر رفتارهای تهدیدکننده کیفیت حسابرسی را واسطه می­‌کند.
اصالت/ارزش افزوده علمی: در این است که برخلاف مطالعات پیشین که اغلب بر تاثیر حجم کار یا فشار شغلی بر کیفیت حسابرسی متمرکز بوده‌اند، این پژوهش به‌طور خاص به نقش عضویت در تیم‌های متعدد پرداخته و آن را با دو متغیر مهم؛ یعنی تاب‌آوری و یادگیری، مرتبط می‌سازد. این نوآوری نظری و تجربی، پژوهش حاضر را از سایر مطالعات متمایز می‌کند و می‌تواند راهکارهای عملی برای بهبود عملکرد حسابرسان ارایه دهد.

چکیده English

Purpose: Considering the position and role of audit firms in users' decisions, the quality of audit firms' work is considered a key factor in preparing audit reports. Several factors significantly improve audit quality; on the other hand, several factors also reduce the quality of investigations. Behaviors that reduce audit quality are intentional actions that endanger the auditor's role by reducing the supporting documentation in reviews. To be accredited and express an opinion, auditors must formulate and implement their audit plans in accordance with auditing standards, which serve as the criteria for assessing the quality of auditors' work. Among the factors expected to affect behaviors that threaten audit quality are membership in multiple teams, resilience, and auditor learning. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of membership in various teams on behaviors that threaten audit quality, while considering the roles of auditor resilience and learning.
Methodology: Five hypotheses have been formulated to address the study's purpose. This study is descriptive-correlational in nature and is considered applied research. The statistical population consisted of auditors of the Auditing Professional Organization in Iran, of whom 280 were selected as the research sample using the Cochran formula. Structural equation tests in PLS software were used to test the hypotheses of this study.
Findings: Testing the study's first hypothesis showed that membership in multiple teams significantly affects auditory learning. The results of testing the second hypothesis showed that auditor resilience moderates the impact of membership in various teams on auditory learning. The results of testing the third hypothesis showed that auditor learning significantly affects behaviors that threaten audit quality. Also, the results of the fourth hypothesis test showed that membership in multiple teams significantly affects behaviors that threaten audit quality. The results of the fifth hypothesis test showed that auditor learning mediates the effect of team membership on behaviors that threaten audit quality.
Originality/Value: Unlike previous studies that often focused on the effects of workload or job pressure on audit quality, this study specifically examines the role of membership in multiple teams and links it to two key variables: resilience and learning. This theoretical and empirical innovation distinguishes the present study from other studies and can provide practical solutions to improve auditor performance.
