Academic Dishonesty: Are Business Students Different From Other College Students?

Abstract In this article, the authors investigated academic dishonesty and how business students stand on the issue as compared with other college students. They found in their study that nonbusiness students are more likely to cheat than are business students. In general, students who are members of Greek social organizations, undergraduates, male, and have low self-esteem typically engage in higher levels of academic dishonesty. Only employment and innovativeness had an overall significant influence on academic dishonesty. Keywords: academic dishonestybusiness studentscheating
