“…Attitude towards digital piracy is the key factor in influencing consumers’ intention to pirate digital product. This confirms previous empirical findings in several other developing countries, such as Barbados (Alleyne, Soleyn, & Harris, ), China (Chan & Lai, ; Chan et al, ; Wang et al, ; Yoon, ), Jordan (Aleassa et al, ), Indonesia (Arli et al, ; Casidy et al, ), Israel (Shoham, Ruvio, & Davidow, ) and Turkey (Akbulut, ). In terms of the determinants of consumer attitude towards digital piracy, deterrence theory seems to have a potential for the Indonesian context.…”

The purpose of the current study is to explore the influence of young consumers’ religiosity on their attitude and intention towards digital piracy. Despite continuous efforts from the government and industries, global digital piracy is still on the rise with developing countries leading the way of the most pirated nations. Interestingly, religiosity is also highest in developing countries which is the focal aim of this study. Using a sample from Indonesia (n = 576), the largest Muslim population in the world, the present study found that religiosity significantly influences consumers’ attitude towards digital piracy, where consumers who are less religious are more receptive towards digital piracy. The results of this study will have important implications to religious leaders, software and music industry and public policymakers operating in developing countries.

“…Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) is very useful in explaining a complex phenomenon such as ethical/unethical decision-making such as academic dishonesty. This theory has been applied to a broad range of topics from whistleblowing by civil servants (Winardi 2013), decision-making by public accountants (Buchan 2005), software and music piracy by accounting students (Alleyne et al 2015), to corruption engagement (Othman et al 2014). Since the introduction of TPB, a range of studies have implemented the theory in various contexts of behaviour (Conner and Armitage 1998;Ajzen 2011).…”

Academic dishonesty among students has been recognised as a major concern in higher education in Indonesia. Accounting research arguably need to give more attention to this issue. This is partly because of the importance of integrity as part of accounting ethics and professionalism. However, little currently known about academic dishonesty among accounting students in Indonesia. We address this issue by surveying 342 accounting students about their perception of academic dishonesty and what motivates such behaviour. Our respondents were from all first, second or third year undergraduate students at one state university in Indonesia. Drawing from Theory of Planned Behaviour, we examine three individual variables-attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. In addition, we also examine three situational variables-academic integrity culture, definitional ambiguity, and pressure. Six hypotheses were tested, using a Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling. The results reveal that 77.5% of respondents admitted committing academic dishonesty. While all individual factors studies have positive significant effect on the intention to commit academic dishonesty, of the three situational factors only pressure and definitional ambiguity have a positive significant effect. Surprisingly, it is found that academic integrity culture does not have a significant effect.

“…In the context of this research, attitude is the assessment of whether it is favorable or unfavorable when carrying out e-book piracy. The majority of research in the context of piracy has revealed the effect of attitude on the intention of carrying out piracy, such as research about book piracy (Hati et al, 2019); software piracy (Aleassa, Pearson, & McClurg, 2011;Alleyne et al, 2015), music piracy (Alleyne et al, 2015), and digital piracy (Casidy, Phau, & Lwin, 2016;Phau, Lim, Liang, & Lwin, 2014;Yoon, 2011Yoon, , 2012. According to the mentioned explanation, the hypothesis of this research is proposed as follows.…”

“…This is because 41% of e-book piracy is carried out by people age 18 to 29 years old (Kozlowski, 2019). Moreover, some studies about piracy involve students from certain study programs, such as the research on software and music piracy that involves accounting students as its respondents (Alleyne, Soleyn, & Harris, 2015), and the research on software piracy that involves computer students as its respondents (Rahim, Seyal, & Rahman, 1999). Furthermore, there have been no studies investigating e-book piracy that involve accounting students as respondents.…”

This research was aimed to analyze the factors affecting accounting students’ intention in carrying out e-book piracy. This research integrated the theory of reasoned action and ethics theory. This was quantitative research with a survey method. Data in this research were collected from respondents who filled in questionnaires. The respondents in this research were accounting students of Universities in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) supported by SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of the analysis showed that attitude, subjective norm, perceived benefit, and moral obligation significantly affected the intention of carrying out E-book piracy. Meanwhile, the perceived risk significantly affected the attitude toward piracy. Furthermore, this research discussed both theoretical and practical impacts based on the results of data analysis.
