Resumo

O propósito deste estudo foi analisar a relação entre a percepção de justiça no ambiente acadêmico e a desonestidade acadêmica de estudantes de graduação em Ciências Contábeis. A classroom justice, ou justiça acadêmica, refere-se à avaliação justa dos resultados e processos no ambiente acadêmico. É comumente segregada em três dimensões:  distributiva, processual e interacional. A amostra da pesquisa foi composta por 451 graduandos de Ciências Contábeis e os achados mostram que as três dimensões de justiça acadêmica possuem significância estatística, exercendo influência sobre a desonestidade acadêmica. Quando os discentes percebem injustiça distributiva, processual e interacional, tendem, em média, a praticar atitudes desonestas. Os resultados sugerem que a desonestidade acadêmica pode ser uma maneira de os discentes compensarem a injustiça percebida no ambiente educacional. Dessa forma, na presença de injustiça, a desonestidade tende a ser manifestada, podendo ser uma forma de o aluno atenuar a injustiça distributiva, processual e interacional.
