description This study aimed to investigate factors influencing academic dishonesty among students in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Arau, Perlis. Variables tested in this study included self-efficacy, peer behaviour, personal beliefs and values, time pressure, procrastination and attitude. Researcher wants to know whether these independent variables will give effect on the dependent variable which is academic dishonesty and mediator which is attitude. The researcher also has prepared 367 set of questionnaires to distribute them to targeted participants who are among students in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Arau, Perlis. The results revealed that self-efficacy, peer behaviour, time pressure and procrastination have positive significant effect on the intention to commit academic dishonesty, surprisingly only attitude and personal beliefs and values have negative effect.
