Additionally, LAQ mediates the positive impact of IQ and EQ on work readiness. These findings have implications for accounting education by emphasizing the important role of LAQ in relation to IQ, EQ, and work readiness. Further research is needed to explore the effectiveness of educational and work environment factors in supporting and enhancing learning agility.
