Predicting Academic Misconduct Intentions and Behavior Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and Personality

Abstract: The efficacy of Azjen's (1985;1991) Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) for the prediction of cheating intentions and behaviors was examined in a sample of 241 business undergraduates.Mediated structural equation models of the TPB, with personality constructs, adjustment and prudence, as antecedents were examined. The TPB model explained 21% of the variance in cheating intentions and 36% of cheating behavior. Results support both the TPB model and a partially mediated model in which prudence, but not adjustment, … Show more

“…Subjective norm is defined as a student's perception that most people who become a reference for him to think that he or she should or should not perform certain behaviours [21]. Previous study from [11] find that subjective norm is a significant predictor of intention to commit academic dishonesty. Similar results were found by [14,15,16].…”

“…Most models of ethical decision-making have found that individuals who judge an action to be highly ethical are more likely to form behavioural intention to perform that action (Ajzen, 1991;Hunt & Vitell, 1986). Forsyth and Nye's (1990) findings suggest that idealists are strongly concerned for the welfare of others, and hence they are likely to assess the possible damage unethical behaviour may cause to others, and to consider behaviour highly unethical if it has the potential to harm the entire organisation (Stone et al, 2010). Forsyth and Berger (1982) found that relativists believe that it is impossible to make accurate ethical judgments regarding the behaviour of others without knowing all the specific circumstances, and hence people are less likely to judge academic integrity harshly.…”

“…As such, teaching approaches have been inadequate in dealing the moral development of undergraduates (Harding et al, 2007). Hence, the justification of this paper is to propose an understanding of the underlying reason academic dishonesty and to decide the most effective ways for controlling such behaviors with the application TPB, as it has shown remarkable ability to foresee and provide a principle for academic dishonesty (Ajzen, 1991;Passow et al, 2006;Stone et al, 2010).…”
