Title: Academic ethics: What has morality, culture and administration got to do with its measurement? Author(s): Gbolahan Gbadamosi Journal: Management Decision ISSN: 0025-1747 Year: 2004 Volume: 42 Issue: 9 Page: 1145 - 1161 DOI: 10.1108/00251740410565172 Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: While there is no dearth of studies on ethical issues, the specific subject of examination misconduct has attracted fewer studies, especially in Africa. This study is an ongoing exploratory attempt to develop a measure of examination misconduct. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from 450 undergraduate business students of the Universities of Botswana and Swaziland. A nine-item measure of examination misconduct was correlated with a measure of perception of business ethics, ethical value assessment and Hofstede's four dimensions of culture. The results indicated significant inter-correlations among the variables (especially the three measures of ethics) and limited construct validity for the examination misconduct scale. The results of factor analysis suggest three factors for the emerging scale: cheating behaviour, intervention and desperation. The ethical inferences of the findings, managerial implications for university administrators and practitioners, study limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

Title: Attitudes towards plagiarism among undergraduate accounting students: Malaysian evidence Author(s): Malcolm Smith, Noorlaila Ghazali, Siti Fatimah Noor Minhad Journal: Asian Review of Accounting ISSN: 1321-7348 Year: 2007 Volume: 15 Issue: 2 Page: 122 - 146 DOI: 10.1108/13217340710823350 Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine undergraduate accounting students' perceptions of factors contributing to plagiarism activities.
Design/methodology/approach – Survey methods were used to investigate the prominence of different factors, and any differences associated with student characteristics.
Findings – The results suggested that factors contributing to plagiarism include lack of awareness, lack of understanding, lack of competence, and personal attitudes. No evidence was found to support the suggestion that either pressure or the availability of internet facilities had increased the incidence of plagiarism. The study provided evidence that a significant proportion of Malaysian undergraduate accounting students in the study had engaged in plagiarism activities to a limited degree; the observed profile was consistent with the incidence of plagiarism activities being associated with academically weaker, male students with a negative attitude to their studies.
Originality/value – The findings have significant implications for educators if they are to improve the detection and punishment of plagiarism activity, and educate potential perpetrators.

Title: Towards the ethical or the unethical side?: An explorative research of Greek business students' attitudes Author(s): Eleonora Karassavidou, Niki Glaveli Journal: International Journal of Educational Management ISSN: 0951-354X Year: 2006 Volume: 20 Issue: 5 Page: 348 - 364 DOI: 10.1108/09513540610676421 Publisher: Emerald Group Publishing Limited Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this research is to investigate the ethical orientations of undergraduate business students in Greece by exploring the relations among students' internalized code of ethics, anomia and students' judgment related to ethical problem situations within classroom as well as business context.
Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual framework was developed and a pilot empirical research was conducted based on a questionnaire addressed to a sample of 123 business school undergraduate students. Hypotheses were stated and tested.
Findings – The paper finds that internalised code of ethics (ICE) and anomia constructs proved to be reliable and captured the examined students' profile in terms of both their ethical orientations and their world view. Greek future business people's ethical judgement tends to incline towards the ethical side. The ICE appears to influence students' ethical judgment while anomia has no impact. Further, academic dishonesty is positively related to students' attitudes towards unethical managers' behaviors in the business context.
Research limitations/implications – The nature of the research is explanatory, addressed to students of one semester and thus results cannot be generalized on a broader context. Also the construct developed by the authors need to be further tested to increase its validity.
Practical implications – Business schools need to empower students' internalized code of ethics towards the development of more socially responsible future managers and leaders.
Originality/value – The developed construct of the internalized code of ethics and its revealing key role on Greek business students' ethical judgment is considered by the authors as the main contribution of this study.

Title: Academic dishonesty in a global educational market: a comparison of Hong Kong and American university business students

Abstract: Academic dishonesty in post-secondary education is a widespread, insidious and global problem. Business educators hosting foreign students locally and teaching abroad more than ever need to understand the nuances and attitudes of different student populations and how these differences may manifest themselves in a course. This research contributes to the growing albeit still scanty body of literature demonstrating that significant cross-national differences exist regarding students' attitudes, beliefs and propensities toward cheating. This study compares US and Hong Kong university business students on three areas: cheating behaviors and perceptions, relationships between academic dishonesty and gender, and prediction of academic dishonesty. A total of 443 usable surveys were collected in the USA and 622 in Hong Kong. Statistically significant differences are presented followed by discussion and implications.

Abstract: This article addresses many new problems facing educators with regard to integrating the Internet in to the marketing curriculum. Traditional modes of education and research have led to abuses of academic integrity by a small percentage of undergraduate students. Recent findings indicate that the Internet has led to an explosion of sites designed to provide research and term papers for a fee to students. This article begins by examining the current state of integration and research regarding the use of the Internet in marketing education. Then it explores current issues of concern facing educators relating to the use of the Internet by students. Areas of interest include student research and reference techniques, plagiarism and accessibility to custom and off-the-shelf term papers.
