TARGETS FOR HONESTY: HOW PERFORMANCE INDICATORS SHAPE INTEGRITY IN DUTCH HIGHER EDUCATION
研究基于荷兰高等教育员工数据，发现绩效指标对工作环境中的诚信感知有正面影响，挑战了将学术不端归因于绩效激励的普遍观点。
Universities across the world have recently experienced a number of serious cases of academic misconduct. In the public and academic debates, one dominant explanation exists for the fraudulent behaviour of university staff. Academic misconduct is considered to be the logical behavioural consequence of output‐oriented management practices, based on performance incentives. This article puts this explanation to the test. Based on our analysis of a dataset of employees in Dutch higher education (N = 4,775) from 2010 and 2012, we argue that performance indicators have a positive impact on higher education professionals' perception of integrity in their work environment.
