Analysis of Academically Dishonest Practices:An Exploratory Study of MBAs at an Institute of Management in India

While academic integrity is a virtue espoused by educational institutions, professors, administrators, and students universally, dishonest academic behavior is prevalent in many colleges and universities across the globe (Brown 2002; Burns 1998; Davis, Noble, Zak, & Dryer 1994; Diekhoff, LaBeff, Shinohara, & Clark, 1999; Lupton 2002; Magnus, Polterovish, Danilov, & Sawateev 2002; Mwamwenda & Monyooe, 2000; Vencat 2006). For example, Meade (1992) reported a dishonesty rate of 87 percent among undergraduates at 31 top universities in the United States. On the other hand, Diekhoff et al. (1999) found that lapanese students were
involved in various acts of academic dishonesty at a rate of 55 percent. Similarly, Lupton and Chapman (2000, 2002) reported a dishonesty rate of 84 percent in Poland and 64 percent in Russia.
