Abstract
Having good communication skills is essential for graduates who are about to enter the profession. ‎Since reducing the gap between graduates' capabilities and entrepreneurs' expectations from them ‎can lead to professional development, and proper communication is one of the important categories ‎raised in this field, the necessity of the present research becomes clear. The purpose of this research ‎is to study the relationship between communication apprehension (CA) and teamwork self-efficacy ‎‎(TSE) with the mediating role of communication self-efficacy (CSE) using the S-O-R approach in ‎accounting students of different levels of the country. The upcoming study is an applied survey. Also, ‎the subject was investigated by means of a questionnaire and a simple random sampling of 168 ‎accounting students of different departments and universities in the country in the winter of 2023. To ‎analyze the findings in the form of 3 main hypotheses, structural equation method was used by Smart ‎PLS software. The research findings showed that there is a negative and significant relationship ‎between CA and CSE. Also, a positive and significant relationship was observed between CSE and TSE. ‎The study of the causal process of the research in the two primary hypotheses also shows that the ‎mediating role of CSE in the relationship between CA and TSE is confirmed. As a result, based on the ‎findings, it is necessary to pay more attention to soft skills, including communication skills, in line with ‎professional development and covering the labor market needs of accounting students.‎
