Abstract

This research aimed to develop an integrated model by combining personality trait and theory of planned behavior to resolve academic dishonesty among accounting students during COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, the effect of three theory of planned behavior (TPB) construct on academic dishonesty was investigated with the role of justification as a mediating variable. The role of TPB construct as mediating variable between five personality traits and academic dishonesty was also determined using 314 accounting students. The result showed that attitude had a positive relationship with academic dishonesty. Additionally, the role of justification as a mediating variable was partially significant in the relationship. In this context, TPB construct mediated the relationship between personality trait dimensions and academic dishonesty.
