DIMENSIONS OF STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF FACULTY ETHICAL BEHAVIOR: REFINING A MEASURE AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH SELECTED OUTCOME VARIABLES

摘要

Scale items used in previous studies of student perceptions of faculty ethical behavior were administered to a sample of undergraduate business students in order to assess the dimensionality of these perceptions. Results suggest five distinct dimensions of student perceptions of faculty ethical behavior. These empirically derived dimensions were then related to three outcome variables, satisfaction with the university, intent to remain in the current degree program, and intent to transfer to another university. Results of this analysis suggest that one dimension of faculty ethical behavior is related to student satisfaction with the university, and that satisfaction, in turn, was related to student intent to transfer to a different university.
