“…Since it is considered a phenomenon hard to measure, the research focused on the perception of the phenomenon, similar to the studies led by Llulaku and Berxulli (2019) and Genemo (2019).Thus, the object of the study was the level of perception of the student body of the Accounting Program of UFC about the dissemination of corruption.…”

“…However, in the academic environment researches that emphasize the perception of corruption by the student body are still scarce. Llulaku and Berxulli (2019) studied the effects of corruption on the motivation of students in the professional environment and the possibility of risk exposure. Genemo (2019), in a sample of 346 graduation students at the University of Adama (USA), observed a variation in the comprehension of the phenomenon, a lack of concern in reports that highlight the them and the absence of relation between demographic variables and the understanding of the phenomenon.…”

“…In the academic environment, empirical studies are scarce, specially involving the student body (Llulaku & Berxulli, 2019), being common those that approach the perception of the profession (Bageac, Furrer, & Reynaud, 2011, Paskin, 2013. Studies related to this theme, for example, could refine the systematic of teaching, awaken to specific issues for handling the corruption in the profession, or even force a multidisciplinary treatment of the phenomenon before the faculty.…”

Purpose: Corruption is a worldwide phenomenon that affects, indistinctly, both the poor and the rich. As a multidisciplinary phenomenon, understanding the problem has become a complex issue given the diversity of concepts it encompasses and how it presents itself in countries. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze significant aspects of the social profile that influence the perception of corruption by Accounting students at the Federal University of Ceará. Methodology: The research is descriptive regarding its objectives, quantitative as to its nature and uses a survey as its procedures. A Likert scale questionnaire was used, anonymously filled, composed by four groups of questions, in which 20 questions related to corruption (comprehension, professional impact, current structure of the Accounting program and institutional mechanisms for its combat). The analysis of the results was done through descriptive statistics. Results: Intermediate positions that do not reveal the total denial or confirmation of the questions presented were considered, which shows that most of the opinions are still under construction. The exception is due to the level of understanding of the phenomenon, which was deemed satisfactory by the researchers. Regarding the intermediate answers, the results point to the need of multiple solutions for the studied phenomenon: improve the way the entire program treats the theme, enhance the understanding of the extent of corruption as a phenomenon that also affects companies and social organizations, and withdraw of the students' understanding that the program should provide knowledge about the modus operandi of corrupt acts. Contributions of the Study: The study contributes to the development of new ways of approaching corruption in the academic environment, notably the Accounting Program, in order to raise awareness about the subject.

“…While future lawyers commit some status-related crimes even more frequently than their imprisoned peers (Wittich et al, 1998), the comparative analysis by Llullaku and Bërxulli (2017) shows that the readiness to engage in workplace bribery is lower among law students relative to the students of business-related courses. We expect future lawyers to resist Legal Nihilism due to the self-selection mechanisms supporting legal consciousness and trust in the rule of law.…”

The development of effective anti-corruption measures relies on a sound understanding of underlying country-specific cultural patterns of corruption. However, finding these patterns faces the problem of ecological fallacies when tracing back the results of comparative macro-studies to the national level or of using ex-post explanations for cultural variances in experimental research designs. Thus, we ask how cultural patterns can explain country differences in the propensity to act corrupt without neglecting the aforementioned problems. Based on institutional theory, we model path-dependent cultural patterns at the macro, meso and micro levels promoting propensity to act corrupt in Poland and Russia. The results of experimental data gathered from students in Poland and Russia show that the extent to which legal nihilism and ethical dualism are institutionalized at the macro level, as well as the micro factors of gender-specific socialization and studying law, has a significant effect on the propensity to act corrupt.

Objetivo: A corrupção é um fenômeno mundial que atinge, indistintamente, pobres e ricos. Como fenômeno multidisciplinar, compreender o problema tornou-se um aspecto complexo dado à diversidade de conceitos que abarca e a forma como se apresenta nos países. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar aspectos significativos do perfil social que influenciam a percepção da corrupção por parte dos alunos de Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Metodologia: A pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva quanto aos objetivos, de levantamento quanto aos procedimentos e quantitativa quanto à natureza. Utilizou-se questionário com escala do tipo Likert, preenchido de forma anônima, formado por 4 grupos de perguntas, nos quais se alocou 20 questões associadas ao tema corrupção (compreensão, impacto profissional, estrutura atual do curso de ciências contábeis e mecanismos institucionais para o seu combate). A análise dos resultados se deu por intermédio da estatística descritiva. Resultados: Foram considerados posicionamentos intermediários que não revelam a total negação ou confirmação das perguntas apresentadas, o que evidencia que parte das opiniões ainda se encontra em construção. A exceção se deve ao nível de compreensão do fenômeno que foi considerado satisfatório pelos pesquisadores. No que se refere às respostas intermediárias, os resultados apontam para a necessidade de múltiplas soluções em relação ao fenômeno estudado: aprimoramento do tratamento do tema por parte do curso como um todo, melhora da compreensão da amplitude da corrupção como fenômeno que atinge também empresas e organizações sociais e afastamento do entendimento dos alunos de que o curso deve prover conhecimento acerca do modus operandi dos atos corruptos. Contribuições do Estudo: O estudo contribui para que novas formas de abordagem da corrupção sejam desenvolvidas para o ambiente acadêmico, notadamente do Curso de Ciências Contábeis, visando aumentar a percepção sobre o tema.
