Past studies have used various criteria to measure the quality of accounting information, each of which indicates a specific dimension of quality. The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for evaluating and comparing the criteria of accounting information quality including persistence, predictability and accrual quality in response to the motivational components of rewards, debt, policy and tax. This research is of applied type and has been done with correlation approach. The statistical sample of the research includes 163 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2009 to 2017. The collected data were analyzed by combined data and least squares regression. The research findings show that reward motivation has a significant relationship with all quality criteria of accounting information. In a way that with increasing motivation, rewards, persistence and accrual quality increase and predictability decreases. Also, the criteria of accounting information quality in response to management motivations have significant convergence, divergence and lack of relationship.
