Abstract
In recent decades, unethical behaviors such as cheating and academic dishonesty have become so common among students; that it can be considered a social phenomenon. The main purpose of this research was to identify the mediating role of moral motivation in the relationship between moral identity and the academic dishonesty of students. The method of this research was a descriptive survey of correlation type and from the point of view of practical purpose. This research's statistical population included all Yasouj University students in the academic year 2021-2022. According to the purpose of the research, 400 students from this community were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. They answered the academic dishonesty questionnaires of McCabe & Trevino (1996), the moral identity of Aquino & Reed (2002), and moral motivation. Answered by Janoff Bulman & Carnes (2016). The analysis of research data has been done through the method of path analysis using IMOS software. The results of the research showed that the mediating role of moral motivation was significant in the relationship between moral identity and academic dishonesty. Also, moral identity has a significant negative relationship with academic dishonesty, moral motivation has a significant negative relationship with academic dishonesty, and moral identity has a significant positive relationship with moral motivation. The moral identity is related to students' academic dishonesty behaviors both directly and through moral motivation, therefore, to increase moral motivation and also reduce their academic dishonesty, paying attention to increasing students' moral identity can be useful and effective.
