the  community  to  encourage  large  PAD  (Bernard, 
2017). 
With many travelers, Micro, Small and Medium 
Enterprises (MSMEs) will start to stretch. Not only 3 
sub-sectors,  this  will  also  stimulate  other  tourism 
activities  commonly  known  as  MICE  (Meeting, 
Incentive,  Convention,  Exhibition).  Such  activities 
will be more or less a positive impact in absorbing a 
large workforce such as hotels, transportation, travel 
agents, printing and others. The potential of human 
resources in Jambi Province is now experiencing a 
peak,  since  2015  which  is  at  47.3%  and  in  2020 
around 46.4%. This figure shows, the population is 
more  productive  than  the  unproductive  population. 
This  means  that  the  population  structure  of  the 
people in Jambi Province who in productive age are 
workable  aged  15-64 years  is  greater  or  in  simple 
terms, there are 10 people of productive age who are 
eligible  to  work  only  to  bear  3-4  unproductive 
people. Therefore, it is not surprising that the open 
unemployment rate in 2017 in Jambi Province is in 
the range of 109.4 thousand people (Bernard, 2017). 
Online shopping or better known as e-shopping 
is  a  growing  trend  in  many  developing  countries. 
Consumers  and  companies  have  recently 
experienced  a  shift  in  business  by  developing 
purchases and sales via the internet. E-shopping is a 
new  way  for  retailers  to  accelerate  the  pace  of 
economic growth. According to Babar, Rasheed, and 
Sajjad  (2014)  one  reason  for  this  growth  is  that 
many people use PCs, laptops and smartphones that 
have access to the internet. 
However, changes in  public spending behavior 
from  conventional  shopping  to  online  shopping  in 
Indonesia  have  several  problems.  According  to 
YLKI, one of the problems currently being faced by 
the public is  the  lack  of  control  over  e-commerce. 
Based  on  YLKI  data,  problems  related  to  e-
commerce ranked third out of a total of 781 direct 
complaints and 1,038 by telephone, jumping to the 
top  three  in  Indonesia  and  becoming  a  major 
obstacle  in  other  countries  (Julianto,  2017). 
Therefore,  it  needs  to  be  reviewed  in  relation  to 
policies  related  to  perceptions  of  online  shopping 
perceived by consumers or market participants. 
Based on the  research of Hassan et al., (2006) 
described the perceptions of risk that must be faced 
by the community and business actors who conduct 
online buying and selling transactions. According to 
Hassan et al. (2006) the average risk perception of 
the  community  in  dealing  online  must  be  faced, 
namely  financial  risk  (13.8%),  performance 
(16.01%),  time  (12.81%),  social  (8,  22%), 
psychology  (9.14%),  physical  (8.01%),  and 
resources (14.95%). If this is not done immediately, 
concrete and effective steps will be taken  to cause 
economic  disaster.  The  momentum  of  the  creative 
economy and tourism is the time to become the new 
prima donna in regional economic development that 
has  been  spoiled by  SDA.  If  this  is  to be realized 
immediately, it will not only reduce unemployment 
but also increase PAD.  
2  LITERATURE REVIEW  
2.1  Behavioral Accounting  
The Kuang and Tin (2011) stated that the field of 
behavioral accounting research in  Indonesia is  still 
relatively new  when  compared to  other  accounting 
studies.  At  Gadjah  Mada  University  Jogjakarta 
introduced  research  in  this  field  starting  in  1995, 
where the  field of behavior was  the main  study in 
the  department  of  psychology,  so  that  its  current 
existence  is  still  debated  by  the  accountants 
themselves.  
Behavioral accounting is part of the accounting 
science family that applies the relationship between 
human  behavior,  accounting  systems  and 
information  as  an  output.  The  accounting  and 
information  systems  intended  are  a  unit  of 
management  aids  in  supporting  the  functions  of 
control,  budgeting,  accountability  and  cost 
collectability,  performance  appraisal,  or  financial 
statements  (Siegel  and  Ramanauskas-Marconi, 
1989).  The  approach  often  used  to  understand 
human behavior is as follows: 
1.  The  cognitive  approach,  which  is  more 
inclined  to  emphasize  the  mental  aspects  of  the 
internal side such as ways of thinking and weighing. 
Then individual interpretation of the environment is 
considered  more  important  than  the  environment 
itself. 
2.  Reinforcement is emphasizing the role of the 
environment  in  human  behavior.  So  that  the 
environment  is  seen  as  a  source  of  stimulation 
(stimulus)  that  can  produce  and  strengthen 
behavioral responses. 
3.  Psychoanalytic approach is an approach that 
emphasizes  the  role  of  the  personality  system  in 
determining something behavior itself.
