Academic dishonesty in online classes: Investigating self-reports using McCabe’s Academic Integrity Survey
No full textPurpose: To investigate the cause of academic dishonesty in online higher education in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research methodology: A descriptive-analytical study was conducted in a Manila-based higher education institution using McCabe's Academic Integrity Survey Report (2010) to collect data from 360 first- and second-year students.
Results: While institutional policies were perceived as high, a low positive correlation was found between policy awareness and the tendency to engage in academic dishonesty in one category. Plagiarism-detecting software may deter some forms of cheating; however, opportunities for other forms of academic misconduct still exist. The prevalence of academic misconduct was higher among second-year students, indicating the normalization of such behavior among peers.
Limitations: The study was conducted at one institution and may not be generalizable to other settings.
Contribution: This study provides insights into the prevalence of academic misconduct and its contributing factors, highlighting the need for continued efforts to prevent and address academic dishonesty in online learning environments.
Novelty: This study sheds light on the challenges in maintaining academic integrity during the COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of addressing academic misconduct in online higher education
Pressures of jobseekers after graduation: Evidences from a public university of Bangladesh
No full textPurpose: The goal of this study is to present the results for job seekers who have graduated from public universities.
Methodology/approach: Quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this study. The data were gathered from 200 job-seeker students at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR), between February and May 2022. The study adopted a purposive sampling technique to select respondents and seven case studies to draw qualitative conclusions. The study also employed The chi-squared test was used to test the hypotheses..
Results/Findings: The results of the hypothesis are as follows: there is a strong relationship between economic crisis and highly salaried jobs ( ); a medium relationship between more time to complete graduation and the pressure on job career ( ); a medium relationship between lower preparation for a job and more participants than job capacity ( ); and finally, a medium relationship between cultural influence on respondents’ behavior and alienation from family and relatives ( ). This study also discovered that pressure on students comes from a variety of sources, including family, workplace, cultural hegemony, and academic pressure. Finally, the study concludes that students may reduce demands, the government can increase employment, and jobless youth may develop self-servicing possibilities for living.
Limitations: The researchers had limitations because, even without these findings, the environment and appropriateness might be advantageous for graduates instead of pressures. Another barrier is time and money.
Contribution: Students, job seekers, and society at large who are concerned about unemployment and the programs that may address it both domestically and internationally will find the research to be helpful
The Role of Corporate Social Responsibility on the Performance of Indonesian Banking Corporation
No full textPurpose: The study employs Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a moderating variable. We aim to discover the role of CSR on the influence of audit firm rotation (AFR), audit committee gender (ACG), and audit quality (AQ) on banking performance.
Methodology/approach: The regression analyses were performed multiple and moderated to exploit the linear model and moderating model, respectively.
Results/findings: The results show that ACG has a significant effect on banking performance, meanwhile AFR and AQ have no significant influence on banking performance. Furthermore, the results of the moderated regression analysis revealed that CSR cannot moderate the influence of AFR, ACG, and AQ on banking performance.
Limitations: We limited the variables only in terms of AFR, ACG, and AQ for the direct influence on firm performance. Therefore, we did not include determinant variables of firm performance in the model (e.g., firm size, firm age, firm growth, financial ratio). We suggest for further research include these determinant variables as a control variable.
Contribution: The study delivers understanding and information on behalf of the influence of AFR, ACG, and AQ on firm performance, particularly for the banking sector in emerging countries. In addition, this research has implications for regulators to improve banking performance.
Novelty: We use CSR as a moderating role. To the best of our knowledge, there is no prior study that employs CSR as a moderating role among AFR, ACG, and AQ association to banking performance. Meanwhile, previous studies prove the strong relationship between CSR to banking performance
Factors influencing the environmental accounting disclosure practices for sustainable development: A systematic literature review
No full textPurpose: This study aims to synthesize a testable conceptual framework that illustrates the link between various factors and environmental accounting disclosure practices.
Research methodology: A systematic review approach was used to examine publications published from 2001 to 2023. Only the referenced studies were employed as secondary data to identify the factors for synthesizing the conceptual framework.
Results: Most publications were studies on emerging nations and showed an expanding trend in disclosures. The findings showed that firm size, profitability, leverage, industry type, and ownership are critical motivators of environmental accounting disclosure (EADs). Moreover, this study summarizes the intriguing concerns not addressed through a conceptual framework. This indicates a possible hypothetical link between these factors for future studies on EADs. Future reviews could boost firms' EADs to help society achieve clean and healthy environments.
Originality: The two conceptual frameworks proposed in this study provide new insights into future research and management ramifications
Budget implementations in local governments in Uganda; reflections from Kiruhura and Mbarara
No full textPurpose: This study focused on the extent of budget implementation in selected local governments in Uganda, focusing on the governance principles of budget implementation, which included participation, transparency, accountability, and gender equity.
Research methodology: The research design used was descriptive and analytical to allow for a comprehensive description of budget implementation in the local governments of reference. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and interview guide. The participants were chosen purposively because they were conversant with the variables under study.
Results: The study findings indicated that budget participation increasingly varies from one local government to another due to the low level of awareness among less-educated citizens. There was also a reduction in revenues, a failure of the budget to meet citizens’ needs, and the lack of sufficient time to implement the budget variedly affected budget implementation.
Limitations: The study was conducted in only two districts and one city in western Uganda, and their findings make it difficult to generalize the findings.
Contribution: This study provides a solid basis for advocating more observation of good governance principles in budget implementation. The study showed that budgeting is a collective responsibility for all, and therefore, transparency and participation are important. It provides valuable insights into budget implementation challenges in Uganda and proposes a workable strategy to respond to the challenges established. It also adds literature on the role of governance, transparency, and participation in budget implementation
