| Resumo: | Purpose: The study aims to analyze the effects of ethical behavior in the work environment on attitudes towards cheating in the academic environment among students of accounting sciences.
Methodology: To this end, a survey was carried out with students from a public HEI, totaling 140 students. For data analysis, we used the technique of structural equations and factor analysis.
Results: The results show that, in addition to ethical behavior in the workplace, there are other variables that influence academics to have dishonest attitudes academically. In this way, ethical behavior influences the unethical behavior of accounting science students at the studied HEI, and that, although with still small effects, the experiences lived and considered ethical in the professional environment tend to be related to the avoidance of dishonest attitudes in the context of academic, that is, a better ethical business ranking leads to less cheating behavior in academia.
Contributions of the Study: The study contributes to the reflection on the improvement of the behavior of academics in the work environment and its reflection in the academy, reflecting the importance of discussing ethics in professional and teaching environments. It propagates the importance of ethics not only in the academic environment, but also in the business environment, so that there is a convergence between these environments. |
