Abstract
This study examines cheating behaviors among 1,747 business students at three public AACSB-accredited business schools. Specifically, using structural equations modeling, we examined the role of intrinsic, extrinsic, and amotivational orientation as well as attitudinal characteristics on: 1) reported prior cheating behavior; 2) neutralization tendencies; and, 3) likelihood of future cheating. Results supported the differentiation of the theoretical constructs within the specified process model. Tests of the theoretical model supported most of the hypothesized relations, most notably significant positive relations between an amotivational orientation and both prior cheating and future cheating proclivity, as well as neutralization tendency.
