Abstract

Academic fraud undermines student integrity, especially among future educators in the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education. This study examines the effects of pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability, and arrogance on academic fraud behavior and identifies the most dominant factor within the Fraud Pentagon Theory. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 378 students (2022–2024 cohorts) through stratified proportional random sampling and online questionnaires. Validity and reliability were tested using Pearson correlation and Cronbach’s alpha. Data analysis employed multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. Results show that pressure, opportunity, rationalization, and capability significantly influence academic fraud, while arrogance does not. Rationalization is the most dominant factor, indicating students justify dishonest behavior. These findings emphasize the need to strengthen academic integrity, supervision, and enforcement of regulations.
