Authors: Persulessy Grace , Mediaty Mediaty , Pontoh Grace Theresia 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study aims to examine the dimensions of the fraud triangle to explain academic cheating behavior during online learning.

Theoretical Framework: The theory that examines the causes of fraud is the fraud triangle theory. This theory was first put forward by Edwin Sutherland, who coined the term white-color crime, and Donald Cressey, who was a student of Sutherland's in a doctoral program in the 1940s and author of Other People Money: A Study in the Social Psychology of Embezzlement.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses multiple regression analysis with the number of samples of this study are 73 accounting students at the Indonesian Christian University in Maluku who have passed auditing courses and business and professional ethics. Data were collected using a survey method.

Findings: The results of this study indicate that partial pressure and opportunity affect academic cheating, while rationalization does not affect academic cheating. This study also shows that simultaneously academic fraud is determined by the dimensions of the fraud triangle, namely pressure, opportunity, and rationalization.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: The implication of this research is to provide useful input to institutions, especially the UKIM Faculty of Economics and Business, to make online learning standards. Also, the teaching staff as input in the teaching and learning process pays attention that pressure, opportunity, and rationalization are important to determine student behavior in academic fraud.

Originality/Value: The results of this research indicate that rationalization does not influence academic fraud behaviors. Rationalization is self-justification or the wrong reasons for wrong behavior. This is due to the awareness of the perpetrators of academic fraud that the fraud committed is an act that is not commendable, so guilt arises when committing academic fraud. It does not support the fraud triangle theory which states that rationalization encourages fraud.

Performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence were proposed as the predictor of attitude toward using social media in business, which in turn would influence the intention to adopt social media in business.

Design/Method/Approach: This study employed the conclusive research design, specifically descriptive research design, as the objective of the research is to examine the relationship between proposed antecedents and the outcome variable. Three hundred and sixty-two valid responses were acquired through an online survey. PLS-SEM analysis was then conducted to test proposed research hypotheses using smartPLS software.

Findings: From the hypotheses testing, it is found that all proposed predictors were proven to be able to affect social media adoption intention, in which social influence was found to contribute the most. This study emphasizes the importance of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and attitude in encouraging the adoption of social media in business for millennial entrepreneurs in Indonesia. This study also gives insight to the Government or policy maker regarding how to use these factors in designing the strategy to increase social media adoption in millennials business in Indonesia.
