Abstract

Kadous and Zhou (2018) investigate experimentally how intrinsic motivation improves auditor judgment in complex audit tasks. In my discussion, I elaborate on my comments from the 2016 CAR Conference. Specifically, I comment in the first part of my discussion on the motivation and contribution of the paper, the underlying theory, the experiment and the results. The second part of my discussion is focused on the broader picture of the paper for which I offer some thoughts based on cross‐fertilization of insights from the archival auditing research and I conclude with providing some suggestions for further research. Analyse critique de « Comment la motivation intrinsèque améliore‐t‐elle le jugement des auditeurs dans les tâches d'audit complexes ? » Dans le cadre d'une étude expérimentale, Kadous et Zhou (2018) cherchent à déterminer comment la motivation intrinsèque améliore le jugement des auditeurs dans les tâches d'audit complexes. Dans une analyse critique de cette étude, l'auteure pousse ici plus loin ses observations au sujet du Colloque 2016 de RCC. Dans un premier volet, elle se penche plus précisément sur la motivation et l'apport de l’étude de Kadous et Zhou, sur la théorie qui sous‐tend leur recherche, sur l'expérimentation à laquelle ils procèdent et sur les résultats qu'ils obtiennent. Dans un second volet, envisageant l’étude dans une perspective plus large, elle propose certaines réflexions basées sur le croisement d'observations tirées de précédentes études sur l'audit et conclut par des suggestions relatives à de futures recherches.
