- Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic forces us to do distance learning to suppress the spread. However, there are problems, and one of them is academic dishonesty in providing sources of information, compiling references, doing assignments, and other academic violations. This research aims to determine the effect of distress, ethical attitudes, and self-efficacy on academic dishonesty. Academic integrity is a serious issue that impacts not only universities but also the government, society, and workplace. This research was carried out in Department of Economics Education at the Faculty of Economics in Universitas Negeri Medan, where distance learners are the main emphasis. The Structural Equation Model was employed in the data analysis process (SEM). According to the study’s findings, academic dishonesty and the ethical attitude variable will be significantly impacted by distress, which will also have an influence on diminishing ethical attitudes. Nevertheless, self-efficacy did not show a significant effect on academic integrity. The study’s findings offer a summary of the state of students’ academic integrity in higher education and serve as a template for legislation aimed at enhancing it.
