The impact of perceived behavioural control on the students’ behaviour and their intention to engage in unethical behaviour in higher education

Lately, the problem of higher incidence of unethical behaviour of students in higher education is increasing, as well as the problem of poor control of said behaviour by the institutions of higher education, which in turn increases the likelihood of unethical behaviour. This raises the question of actual unethical behaviour by students and their intention for future behaviour, and to what extent and in what way does perceived behavioural control has an effect. Modern technology facilitates and increases the likelihood of unethical behaviour by students and facilitates the performance of unethical behaviour itself. Therefore, this paper emphasizes the perceived behavioural control of students in higher education. The research was conducted on a sample of 622 university students. The goal of the paper is to determine to what extent does perceived behavioural control affect the actual student behaviour and their intention to behave unethically in higher education, by applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in the paper. The results of the correlation analysis have shown that there is a statistically significant correlation between the perceived behavioural control and the intention to behave unethically, as well as the current (actual) student behaviour. The results of the regression analysis have shown a statistically significant positive relation between the perceived behavioural control of the students and the actual, currently unethical behaviour and their intention to engage in unethical behaviour. The results, as well as the guidelines for future actions, have been stated in the paper
