Abstract: (430 Views) |
| Despite the importance, there are not many studies that use an explanatory approach to pinpoint and depict factors that affect the increase and decrease of students’ tendency toward ethical-orientation. Using an interpretive paradigm, a qualitative approach, and a descriptive phenomenological method, in addition to semanalysis of academic actors’ perceptions, this study attempted to identify and categorize factors facilitating and inhibiting students’ tendency toward ethical-orientation in academia. The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with five groups of academic actors selected through criterion sampling, including faculty members, managers, experts, staff, and students, and then analyzed using Colaizzi’s method and MAXQDA.. The in-depth and continuous analysis of participant opinions about factors facilitating students’ tendency to ethical-orientation resulted in identification of eight factors including structural, functional, social, cultural, individual, religious, study-research, and educational factors, and 35 indicators. Moreover, in terms of inhibiting factors (barriers), nine factors were identified, including structural, social, practical, political, individual, functional, conceptual, informative-cognitive, and cultural barriers, as well as 75 indicators. The findings indicated that the facilitating and inhibiting factors derived from the perceptions of a diverse range of academic actors resulted in identification of new and more complete dimensions and components of factors influencing the tendency or reluctancy of students’ ethical-orientation in academia, which can be used to improve the development of ethical-orientation in academic contexts. A number of solutions for academic administrators were presented along with introducing each factor’s signs. |
