ResumenEl presente artículo examina algunas diferencias de actitudes frente a las conductas deshonestas en estudiantes universitarios de las carreras de Administración y de Economía. El estudio es de alcance descriptivo, de corte transversal y de enfoque cuantitativo. Se administró un cuestionario a una muestra aleatoria de 275 estudiantes de la provincia del Guayas, Ecuador, durante el primer semestre del año 2017, donde se identificaron las actitudes deshonestas relacionadas con seis enunciados sobre el engaño en exámenes o evaluaciones escritas y las situaciones contextuales en que éstas surgen, agrupando los datos por carrera, género y el lugar de procedencia de los participantes. Se verificaron diferencias significativas entre grupos de variables mediante el análisis de tablas de contingencia empleando el estadístico chicuadrado. En el análisis entre grupos específicos, los hombres de la carrera de administración prefieren adoptar más actitudes deshonestas en comparación con estudiantes de economía. Los resultados entregan nuevos aportes a la literatura sobre la deshonestidad académica en el contexto latinoamericano. Palabras AbstractThis article examines some differences in attitudes towards dishonest behavior of economics and business undergraduate students. The study is of the cross-section type, with a descriptive scope and quantitative approach. A questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 275 students of the province of Guayas, Ecuador, during the first semester of 2017, where dishonest attitudes through six statements related to written test cheating were identified and the contextual situations in which they arise, grouping the data by career, gender and place of origin of the participants. Significant differences between groups of variables were verified through the analysis of contingency tables using the chi-square statistic. In the analysis between specific groups, male business students prefer to adopt more dishonest attitudes in comparison with students of economics. The results provide new contributions to the literature on academic dishonesty in the Latin American context.
