The Influence of Self-Efficacy and Peer Conformity on Academic Dishonesty in Purbalingga ‘X’ Vocational High School Students
Abstract
Vocational high school students need to have high integrity to be able to complement their skills, so that in the future, these students can meet the needs of the world labour market. Students who engage in academic dishonesty often have low self-efficacy and are affected by peer conformity. This study empirically examines the effect of self-efficacy on academic dishonesty, the effect of peer conformity on academic dishonesty, and the combined effect of self-efficacy and peer conformity on academic dishonesty among students at SMK "X" Purbalingga. This research employs a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The results indicate a significant effect of self-efficacy and peer conformity on academic dishonesty, with an F-value of 58.481, p = 0.000, and an R-square of 0.353. This demonstrates that self-efficacy and peer conformity contribute 35.3% to academic dishonesty. This study proves that self-efficacy and peer conformity significantly impact academic dishonesty among students at SMK X Purbalingga.
