RESUMO:

The main objective of this research is to analyze the variables that impact on the occurrence of academic dishonesty in students of the undergraduate course in Accounting Sciences of the universities of the city of Natal / RN, who obtained the best performance in the National Student Performance Examination. To collect the data, a three-part form was used, totaling 62 questions with questions about the demographic profile and evaluation of the students' perception of dishonesty and an arithmetic matrix composed by 20 matrices. The research sample consisted of 261 questionnaires, of which 166 were answered by students from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) and 95 by students from the Facex University Center (UNIFACEX) and the University Center of Rio Grande do Norte (UNI-RN) ). Of the participants in this research, 70.50% stated that they had pasted on assessments or tasks at the university and 87.36% stated that they consider the glue to be ethically / morally wrong, suggesting that even considering as morally wrong students still engage in academic dishonesty of this kind. Another relevant point of the work was how participants perceive the definition of institutions in relation to academic success, approximately 64% of UFRN students perceive that the academic institution defines success by the grade, and of these, 76.41% said they had enrolled. While in FACEX and UNI-RN, 32.63% of the students who have the same perception about the definition of academic success by institutions, 83.87% said they had cast. This research also identified that there is a difference between genders and age in the academic and professional settings, showing that the male gender presents a lower average than the female in both contexts, suggesting that the male gender tends to consider dishonest behaviors as being less dishonest Regarding age, respondents older than 25 years of age presented a lower average in both the academic and professional contexts when compared to respondents younger than 25 years. The academic dishonesty of the participants was also verified through the arithmetic matrix experiment, in which it was recorded that 61 students who participated in the research were dishonest in the experiment. To achieve the main objective, the Logit regression was used to verify the variables that are likely to contribute to academic dishonesty. The variables analyzed were: Age, gender, Religion (whether or not the student attends religious events), Parent education (if the parent completed the upper level), Work (if the student performs some paid activity), Academic Income (if the student is afraid of punishment if he / she is surprised to slip), Wrong (if it considers ethical / morally wrong collar), Acceptance (if it is considered to be socially acceptable collar) Policies of the institution knowledge of the institution's policy penalties), Catch (if witnessed or known to colleagues who were surprised by sticking), Testimony (If you witnessed someone gluing on tests or activities), Asked (if you were asked to provide glue on university tests) . Among these variables, only the variables Academic Income, Work, Acceptable, Testimony, Asked, were statistically significant in the model and the signs presented were as expected.
