个体压力、个体科研素质与科研环境均是学术不端的重要影响因素。本研究依据有限道德研究的最新进展研究个体压力、个体科研素质、科研环境如何通过道德推脱的中介影响学术不端的程度以及旁观者沉默对学术不端程度的影响。基于419份对中国科研工作者问卷调查的实证研究表明:科研环境与个体素质对学术不端行为基本没有直接影响,个体压力虽然对学术不端有直接影响,但影响较小;而通过道德推脱的中介作用,个体压力、个体素质与科研环境对学术不端的间接影响程度比较大;此外,旁观者沉默对学术不端也有显著的正向影响。
Pressure exerted on the individual researcher, his/her academic quality and the academic environment are the main causes of the academic misconduct. Based on the latest achievements in the study of bounded morality, the present paper explores the effect of these three factors mediated by moral disengagement and the influence of bystander silence on academic misconduct. A questionnaire survey of 419 Chinese researchers shows that although the academic environment and their academic quality exercise almost no direct influence and the pressure they feel produces only little direct influence on their academic misconduct, the effect of these three factors mediated by moral disengagement and the influence of stander silence on their academic misconduct are quite significant.
