“…Competition motivates academic cheating, especially for students with results below their objectives or needs (Cooper & Peterson, 1980). Nasu and Afonso (2020) indicated that cynicism has a positive relationship with academic cheating, a finding that follows Kökalan (2019), who pointed out the prioritization of personal interests before the collective ones by cynical professionals.…”

Academic cheating proves to be a concern in the professional education of students. In this context, the culture of the individuals (self-interest) and the environment (ethical climate) that meet may explain such behaviors. This study aimed to analyze the influence of ethical climate on academic cheating conduct mediated by self-interest among accounting students. The study is characterized as descriptive, quantitative, and of the survey type. The sample included 158 responses from accounting students from public and private universities located in southern Brazil. Exploratory factorial analysis was used for analyzing the data, and the partial least squares Structural Equation Modeling for testing the hypotheses. The results point out that the ethical climate perceived by the students influences self-interest and academic cheating conduct negatively, and that self-interest positively influences academic cheating conduct. It was also observed that self-interest acts as a mediator variable in the relationship between ethical climate and academic cheating conduct. The findings demonstrate that the cheating conduct may be motivated by the defense of student self-interest, besides being minimized by the ethical climate present in the university environment. In this sense, the study contributed to the accounting education literature by emphasizing the importance of rules and social responsibility in the conduct of undergraduate students. Also, by demonstrating that both personal and academic environment aspects may mold student behavior. From the exposed, greater dissemination and monitoring of programs that encourage good conduct is suggested, with the goal of propagating ethically accepted practices to avoid an environment conducive to cheating.

“…Regarding academic dishonesty, research has already been carried out on the perception of justice (Resh & Sabbagh, 2017;Santos, Avelino, Cunha & Colauto, 2020); the relationship with cynicism (Nasu & Afonso, 2020); reflections on professional conduct (Viana, Santos, Rodrigues, Lima & Viana, 2018), among others. Also in this area, but seeking to understand the motivations of students' dishonesty, other studies were carried out about obtaining better grades and not disappointing parents (McCabe, Treviño & Butterfiled, 1999;Quaye, 2010); the student-teacher relationship (Zelna & Bresciani, 2004;Starovoytova & Namango, 2016); and on plagiarism (Ives et al, 2016).…”

Purpose: Understanding the motivations for the occurrence of academic dishonesty in university Accounting students. Methodology: Applying a survey based on the research by Ives et al. (2016) on 83 Accounting students from Rio de Janeiro. The Kuder-Richardson test was applied to verify the instrument's internal consistency. Subsequently, Pearson's chi-square test was performed. Results: The results indicate that age and gender have little influence on dishonesty, while the period students are studying has an influence; that is, the longer the length of stay, the greater the dishonesty. It is also noteworthy that the students confessed to having seen more dishonest acts than they practiced, demonstrating that it is easier to admit that they have seen other people being dishonest than to confess their dishonesty. The biggest motivations for dishonesty were the need to get good grades, fear of failing, and lack of understanding of the content and methodology used by professors. Contributions of the Study: This paper advances the literature and brings contributions on the subject, as it helps to understand academic dishonesty better. Observing the main motivations of students to commit dishonest acts is important for educational institutions and teachers since it helps to understand some motivations that induce students to be academically dishonest. With such knowledge, faculty, and universities can develop and implement policies and methods that encourage fairer procedures, discouraging dishonesty in the academic environment. Consequently, it will improve the quality of teaching and learning and the training of more qualified and honest workers in the professional market.

“…A respeito da desonestidade acadêmica, já foram desenvolvidas pesquisas acerca da percepção de justiça (Resh & Sabbagh, 2017;Santos, Avelino, Cunha & Colauto, 2020); da relação com o cinismo (Nasu & Afonso, 2020); reflexos na conduta profissional (Viana, Santos, Rodrigues, Lima & Viana, 2018), entre outros. Também nessa ceara, mas buscando compreender as motivações da desonestidade dos estudantes, outras pesquisas foram elaboradas acerca da obtenção de melhores notas e não decepcionar os pais (McCabe, Treviño & Butterfiled, 1999;Quaye, 2010); o relacionamento entre aluno-professor (Zelna & Bresciani, 2004;Starovoytova & Namango, 2016); e sobre plágio (Ives et al, 2016).…”

Objetivo: Compreender as motivações da ocorrência da desonestidade acadêmica, em estudantes universitários de Ciências Contábeis. Metodologia: Aplicação de um questionário, baseado na pesquisa de Ives et al. (2016), para 83 estudantes de Ciências Contábeis do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Para verificar a consistência interna do instrumento, foi aplicado o teste Kuder-Richardson. Posteriormente, foi realizado o teste qui-quadrado de Pearson. Resultados: Indicam que a idade e o gênero apresentam pouca influência na desonestidade, enquanto o período que os alunos estão cursando possui influência; ou seja, quanto maior o tempo de permanência, maior a desonestidade. Destaca-se também que os alunos confessaram ter visto mais atos desonestos, do que de fato praticaram, o que demonstra que é mais fácil admitir que já viu outras pessoas serem desonestas do que confessar a própria desonestidade. As maiores motivações para a desonestidade foram a necessidade tirar boas notas, o medo de ser reprovado, a falta de entendimento sobre o conteúdo e a metodologia utilizada pelo professor. Contribuições do Estudo: O trabalho avança na literatura e traz contribuições sobre o tema, pois ajuda a ter uma melhor compreensão acerca da desonestidade acadêmica, observando quais são as principais motivações dos estudantes para cometerem atos desonestos, sendo importante para as instituições de ensino e para os professores, uma vez que auxilia a compreender algumas motivações que induzem os alunos a serem academicamente desonestos. Abastecidos de tal conhecimento, os docentes e as universidades podem desenvolver e implementar políticas e métodos que fomentem procedimentos mais justos, desencorajando a desonestidade no ambiente acadêmico. Consequentemente, acarretará na melhoria da qualidade do ensino e aprendizagem e na formação de profissionais mais qualificados e honestos para atuarem no mercado profissional.
