Resumen

Objetivo: El estudio tiene como objetivo analizar los efectos del comportamiento ético en el ambiente de trabajo sobre las actitudes de engaño en el ambiente académico entre estudiantes de ciencias contables.

Metodología: Se realizó una encuesta a estudiantes de una IES pública, totalizando 140 estudiantes. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la técnica de ecuaciones estructurales y análisis factorial.

Resultados: Los resultados muestran que, además del comportamiento ético en el ámbito laboral, existen otras variables que influyen en los académicos para tener actitudes deshonestas académicamente. De esta manera, el comportamiento ético influye en el comportamiento no ético de los estudiantes de Ciencias Contables de la IES estudiada, y que, aunque con efectos aún pequeños, las experiencias vividas y consideradas éticas en el ámbito profesional tienden a estar relacionadas con la evitación de actitudes deshonestas en el entorno profesional. contexto académico, es decir, una mejor clasificación ética empresarial conduce a un menor comportamiento de trampa en la academia.

Contribuciones del Estudio: El estudio contribuye a la reflexión sobre la mejora del comportamiento de los académicos en el ambiente laboral y su reflejo en la academia, reflejando la importancia de discutir la ética en los ambientes profesionales y docentes. Propaga la importancia de la ética no solo en el ámbito académico, sino también en el ámbito empresarial, para que exista una convergencia entre estos ámbitos.
