“…It indicates that the respondents from U-2 (146: 53 per cent) are slightly higher than U-1 (129: 47 per cent). Female students dominated the sample (177: 64 per cent) and this is consistent across both universities, in harmony with the current trend of imbalance gender ratio skewing towards female domination in various spheres of life (Christie, 2009). Students in their third year and above from both universities constitute the largest group of respondents driven by the fact that only final year students in U-1 participated in the survey.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine two specific research issues among future members of the Malaysian accountancy profession. First, it explores the extent of committed academic dishonesty (AD) among accounting students in two institutions of higher learning in which Islamic orientation and emphasis are observably different. Second, it investigates whether pious accounting students are dishonesty-resistant, premising the investigation on the maintained assumption based on the Islamic religious scriptures that piety should be placed at the forefront of the crusade against academic malaise particularly AD. Design/methodology/approach Using a questionnaire survey to measure both AD and piety, the usable responses were analyzed using mean score and independent sample t-tests. Findings The results indicate that AD practices are within the safe and non-disturbing limit. The results on piety which form the crux of the research suggest that findings are sensitive to different piety measurement, indicating the need for a refine piety proxy in future Islamic piety research. Originality/value Notwithstanding the small sample based on only two universities, the results provide a critical basis for reality check and policy input on issues relating to AD and piety for all stakeholders, particularly in designing the relevant and necessary trainings and relevant policy formulation in addressing integrity issues in accounting education.

“…Overall, the respondents are dominated by the female (135: 70%), Chinese (87: 45%), those achieved the average level of academic performance (3.0 ≤ CGPA ≤ 3.75) (112: 58%) and those currently studying using the educational loan as the mode of financing (87:45%). The female domination across all universities is consistent with the current trend in the imbalanced sex ratio and hence common phenomena of females dominating various spheres of life (Christie, 2009). The result of academic performance is common in accounting degree as outstanding students are typically minority.…”

The purpose of the study: This research explores issues related to human mobility trend reflecting an increasing outflow of intellectual talents by surveying the migration propensity of future professional labours in Malaysia using small samples from selected universities having different establishment orientation and student compositions. It also surveys factors of their migration intention decisions. Methodology: A quantitative approach utilizing a questionnaire survey distributed to final year students was adopted. A total of 193 usable responses are used in the analysis covering descriptive and mean differences across five identified dimensions of gender, race, academic performance, university type, and education financing. Main Findings: The results indicate that 51% of the respondents have the intention of leaving the country, the majority of whom are private university students, females, Malays, studies funded by education loans, and those from the average group of academic achievement. The low economic reward was ranked first as the main factor in influencing their migration decision. Surprisingly, the worldwide application of accounting-based knowledge plays little role in students’ decision of migrating abroad, signalling students' inability to appreciate the economic consequence of mastering such knowledge and skills. Implications: The research contributes to the public policy debate with respect to education and human mobility by providing a strong basis for a reality check on the sustainability of Malaysia’s future landscape of its professional labour market. It also feeds critical policy inputs for all stakeholders involved, particularly the employers, in providing future Malaysian professionals with a conducive, meaningful, and rewarding career to attract and retain them.
