Corruption is a serious problem in Mexico and the available information regarding the levels of academic dishonesty in Mexico is not very encouraging. Academic integrity is essential in any teaching-learning process focussed on achieving the highest standards of excellence and learning. Promoting and experiencing academic integrity within the university context has a twofold purpose: to achieve the necessary learnings and skills to appropriately perform a specific profession and to develop an ethical perspective which leads to correct decision making. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between academic integrity and ethical behaviour, particularly workplace behaviour. The study adopts a quantitative, hypothetical and deductive approach. A questionnaire was applied to 1203 college students to gather information regarding the frequency in which they undertake acts of dishonesty in different environments and in regards to the severity they assign to each type of infraction. The results reflect that students who report committing acts against academic integrity also report being involved in dishonest activities in other contexts, and that students who consider academic breaches less serious, report being engaged in academic misconduct more frequently in different contexts. In view of these results, it is unavoidable to reflect on the role that educational institutions and businesses can adopt in the development of programmes to promote a culture of academic integrity which: design educational experiences to foster learning, better prepare students to fully meet their academic obligations, highlight the benefits of doing so, prevent the severity and consequences of dishonest actions, discourage cheating and establish clear and efficient processes to sanction those students who are found responsible for academic breaches.

学术诚信对工作场所道德行为的影响

腐败在墨西哥是一个严重的问题，有关墨西哥学术不诚实程度的可用信息也不是很令人鼓舞。在任何注重达到卓越和学习的最高标准的教学过程中，学术诚信都是必不可少的。在大学环境中促进和体验学术诚信有两个目的：获得必要的学习和技能以适当地执行特定的职业，并发展道德观，从而做出正确的决策。这项研究的目的是探讨学术诚信与道德行为，尤其是工作场所行为之间的关系。该研究采用定量，假设和演绎的方法。对1203名大学生进行了问卷调查，以收集有关他们在不同环境中进行不诚实行为的频率以及分配给每种违规行为的严重性的信息。结果表明，举报违背学术诚信行为的学生也报告了在其他情况下参与不诚实的活动，而认为学术违规行为不太严重的学生则报告了在不同情况下更频繁地从事学术不端行为。鉴于这些结果，不可避免地要反思教育机构和企业在制定旨在促进学术诚信文化的计划的过程中可以采取的作用：设计教育经验以促进学习，
