Cheating is not new in an academic line, but a continuous problem faced by educators. Many studies reported an increase trend of cheating among students from secondary or tertiary institutions from time to time. The primary purpose of this paper is to examine the connection between subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, attitude, and intention to cheat among undergraduate students. Also, the variable of justification to cheat is assigned as moderator variable in this relationship. The paper used a survey method for data collection, administered both in electronic and paper form. The Structural equation model with partial least square (PLS-SEM) was utilized to evaluate the data obtained from 917 undergraduate students in one of the public universities in Malaysia. The results provided support that justification, alongside subjective norms, perceived behavioral control were valid predictors of intention to cheat. However, Attitude was significant with the intention to cheat. Further, the findings showed that among the three constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior, justification could only significantly moderate the perceived behavioral control-intention to cheat relationship. The study was only conducted at one public university in Malaysia. Researchers are recommended to further examine the model in other universities and other countries. Implications for implementing strict anti-academic dishonesty policy and research are discussed.

This paper investigates the influence of the attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control on students' intention to choose sharia economics study program at IAIN Ponorogo. It took 108 students of the fifth semester of Sharia Economics Department at IAIN Ponorogo. The sample included 85 students that were calculated using Slovin formula and chosen randomly from the population. The study used a questionnaire and employed the 5 Likert scales. The study also employed Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to examine the role of belief, attractiveness, parental support, peers support, family culture, self-efficacy, and interest on intention. Path analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 2. The results show that students' choice in sharia economics study program was influenced by intrinsic factors, belief, self-efficacy, and interest. The extrinsic factors such as the attractiveness of study programs, parents, peers, and family culture did not influence the intention of students to choose sharia economics study program. The intention of IAIN students to choose to study in sharia economics study program was more determined by intrinsic factors, and not influenced by extrinsic factors. This is due to the strong influence of the religious factor of Islam which positions learning as part of worship and factors originating from students themselves. Further research at public universities needs to be done to find out other dominant variables. Based on the research findings, the Sharia Economics Study Program at Islamic Universities has a strong appeal for prospective Moslem students.

This study aims to examine the effects of higher education on self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. By collecting data from 553 Vietnamese students at universities and colleges in Vietnam, authors employed the quantitative approach such as certain descriptive statistics, explorative factor analysis, correlation coefficient analysis, ANOVA test and multiple linear regression to analyze the relationship between higher education, self-efficacy, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. In addition, Chi-square and Cramer’s V tests are implemented to indicate the difference of higher education on entrepreneurial intention. The research results show that there is a positive relationship between higher education and entrepreneurial intention, while self-efficacy and perceived behavioral control also had positive effects on entrepreneurial intention. Moreover, Chi-Square and Cramer’s V test report that there was a strong evidence of higher education in entrepreneurial intention but there were no differences in self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.

By adopting the theory of planned behaviour, our study develops research model to analyse the effect of structural support on the entrepreneurial cognitive process among university students in Vietnam. Authors employ a meta-analytic path analysis with a sample of 2218 students at 14 universities in Vietnam in order to show that although structural support has positive effect on attitude towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control, it also has negative influence on subjective norms and entrepreneurial intention. Interestingly, different with some previous studies, authors investigate the significant and direct relationship between subjective norms and entrepreneurial in-tention in the economic transitional context of Vietnam. Moreover, analogously to many researches adapting the planed behavioural control, attitude toward entrepreneurship is still seen as the strongest influencing factor on entrepreneurial intention, followed by perceived behavioural control and subjective norms.

During the past few years, many studies associated with sustainability of the organizations have primarily analyzed the financial and performance related implications of sustainability of an organization, and perception of these practices by neglecting the role of the employees who might play a vital role through taking part in pro-environmental behavior in the workstation. Thus, this study focuses on the individual’s pro-environmental workplace (PEW) intention to determine its mediating effect between the factors in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and the PEW behavior context among public workers in Malaysia. Random sampling on a list of ministries situated in Federal Territory of Putrajaya was used in the first stage followed by systematic sampling based on officer’s list of the directory in those ministries. Cleaned data resulted in 460 questionnaires gathered on demographic characteristics, PEW intention, attitude towards environmental practice in the workplace, subjective norms, perceived environmental workplace control, and PEW behavior of public sector context in Malaysia. The results reveal significant influences of PEW subjective norms, and perceived PEW control on the PEW behavior. While a series of regression analyses show that the PEW intention mediated only the two relationships between PEW subjective norms, and perceived PEW control on PEW behavior.

Previously, studies reported inconclusive findings while analyzing the influence of factors affecting online purchase intention. Also, most studies were conducted in the context of developed countries, limiting us to a specific context. Hence, for comprehensive understanding, this study aims at examining the factors affecting the online purchase intention in the e-commerce industry of Jordan. The survey was conducted to collect data from university students in Jordan. Structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data. Findings show that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control are positively associated with online purchase intention. However, perceived risks are negatively associated with online purchase intention. Although all factors are significantly related to online purchase intention, the attitude has a greater influence. This study adds value to the theory of planned behavior and consumer behavior by examining attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and perceived risks as important predictors of online purchase intention. Besides, this study suggests that online retailers must keep their commitments, promises, and customers’ interests in mind while developing e-commerce strategies.
