“…Previous works about the influence of different religions on business ethics have evidenced that religions are expected to reinforce ethical decision‐making and the implementation of a higher number of ethical practices. In this sense, religiosity may influence “an individual's attitudes, views, decisions, and ultimately behaviors” (Nelson, James, Miles, Morrell, & Sledge, 2017, p. 385). However, research conducted on the influence of religion on ethical corporate practices (Craft, 2013; Loe, Ferrell, & Mansfield, 2000; O'Fallon & Butterfield, 2005; Vitell, 2009) has not reached conclusive results, suggesting that religiosity does not directly imply ethical behavior (Weaver & Agle, 2002).…”

The aim of our research is to analyze how different religions influence business ethics.We develop an index of practices in the field of business ethics, made up of 19 items containing practices related to workers, consumers, products, human rights, management of ethical conflicts, and crime prevention. Also, we consider a wide range of religion affiliations. To undertake this research, we use a panel data sample composed of 11,956 firm-year observations from 18 countries. Drawing on stakeholder theory, we posit some hypotheses based on the religions considered. The results obtained show that a higher percentage of religious adherents in the country where a company does business usually involve the implementation of more ethical practices in the corporate field. These findings are obtained for Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and Hindu religions. In contrast, this does not stand for Buddhist and folk religions. Also, countries where there is no predominant religion do not show a confluence between religion and ethical corporate practices.

“…(Mahmood, 2010), Uganda (Godfrey & Yu 2015), dan Indonesia (Prabowo, 2014). Fenomena ini mengejutkan karena penelitian terdahulu mengungkapkan bahwa terdapat hubungan konseptual antara religiusitas dan moralitas (Nelson et al, 2016;Sallquist et al, 2010), dan bahwa kepatuhan moral yang tinggi secara teoritis harusnya dapat mencegah individu untuk berperilaku curang (Detert et al, 2008).…”

“…Spirituality refer to the relation between individual to the "Higher Power" (i.e., God), while religiosity refer to religious values, rituals, and practices which was performed by the individuals. It is important to note that although the modern approach argues that spirituality and religiosity are different (e.g., Mattis, 2000;Nelson et al, 2016), they both are in fact highly related (Hill & Pargament 2003). Further, religion practices play an important role in developing individual spirituality level (Zinnbauer et al, 1997).…”

“…Corruption and cheating have become an endemic phenomenon in many countries (Transparency International, 2017), including those with a dominantly religious population, such as Bangladesh Korupsi dan kecurangan telah menjadi fenomena endemik di berbagai negara (Transparency International, 2017), termasuk negara-negara yang mayoritas penduduknya religius, seperti halnya di Bangladesh (Mahmood, 2010), Uganda (Godfrey & Yu 2015), and Indonesia (Prabowo, 2014). This phenomenon is perplexing since past literatures have suggested a conceptual link between religiosity and morality (Nelson et al, 2016;Sallquist et al, 2010), and that high morality obedience should theoretically prevent people from cheating (Detert et al, 2008).…”

Cheating behavior in a school setting has become a major problem in many countries, including those with a dominantly religious population (e.g., Indonesia). This creates a paradox since previous literatures suggest eminent role of spirituality in constructing morality. This study is intended to investigate the interplay between spirituality and cheating behavior in religious high school students in Yogyakarta using multi-methods approach. Self-report questionnaires to measure the perception toward cheating, spirituality level, and locus of control were distributed to a total of 691 participants using random sampling method. Participants were also given an open-ended questionnaire asking the rationale behind their past cheating behavior. The findings suggested that the role of spirituality in ethical behavior was rather contextual, such as the link between spirituality and awareness of cheating was more robust in the respondents from religious schools. It was found that the participants viewed spirituality as an internal moral compass which may in turn facilitate overt ethical behavior. Perilaku kecurangan di sekolah telah menjadi permasalahan besar di berbagai negara, termasuk di negara-negara yang mayoritas penduduknya religius (misalnya di Indonesia). Hal ini menimbulkan sebuah paradoks mengingat penelitian terdahulu menyatakan bahwa spiritualitas berperan dalam proses pembentukan moralitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah interaksi antara spiritualitas dan perilaku kecurangan pada siswa sekolah menengah di Yogyakarta menggunakan pendekatan multi-metode. Kuesioner laporan diri untuk mengukur persepsi terhadap kecurangan, tingkat spiritualitas, dan lokus kendali dibagikan kepada total 691 partisipan menggunakan metode random sampling. Partisipan juga diberikan kuesioner dengan butir-butir pertanyaan terbuka yang menanyakan alasan di balik perilaku curang mereka di masa lampau. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa peran spiritualitas dalam perilaku etis cenderung bersifat kontekstual, misalnya hubungan antara spiritualitas dan kesadaran akan perilaku kecurangan lebih kuat pada responden dari sekolah berbasis agama. Ditemukan bahwa partisipan dalam kajian ini memandang spiritualitas sebagai kompas moral internal yang dapat berperan dalam memfasilitasi perilaku etis yang terbuka.

Academic dishonesty has become a major problem in education to date. This study examines the academic dishonesty on Muslim graduate students. There are two kinds of factors encouraging graduate students to cheat: 1) the factors that can be controlled by students, such as lack of preparation before exams, fatigue, or lack of time to learn; 2) the factors that are beyond the students' control, such as health problems, tasks or exams that are too difficult, or friends' cheating. In self-regulated learning, students manage their learning effectively. Thus, these controllable factors of academic dishonesty are expected to be overcame by student's improving self-regulated learning. Meanwhile, muraqabah, defined as awareness of God's supervision, is predicted to help students in overcoming the uncontrollable factors of academic dishonesty. This study uses quantitative approach. The participants were Muslim graduate students. Four instruments were used in this study: self-regulated learning questionnaire, muraqabah questionnaire, academic dishonesty questionnaire, and social desirability scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and partial correlation analysis technique. The result of this study determines that there is a significant negative correlation between self-regulated learning and academic dishonesty of Muslim graduate students. There is no significant correlation between muraqabah and academic dishonesty.
