Abstract :
To exam the influential factors of cheating intention, we adopted the theory of planned behavior (TPB) by adding professional unethical beliefs to enhance its predictive power. A self-administered survey of 280 business part-time students with full-time profession from a northern university in Taiwan was investigated. Results indicated that perceived behavioral control toward cheating and professional ethical beliefs have greater impact on cheating intention than subjective norm and attitude have.
