چکیده
در عصر حاضر، ترویج صداقت و اخلاق دانشگاهی و مقابله با سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی چون سرقت علمی، جعل و تحریف یافتهها به بخش مهمی از مأموریت های دانشگاه ها تبدیل شده است، چرا که در میدان علمی، عادی شدن سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی به صداقت و شرافت علمی، پیوند علم، جامعه، صنعت و اعتبار مؤسسات علمی لطمه می زند. بر این اساس، هدف اصلی پژوهش حاضر مطالعه تعیین گرهای عادی شدن سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی و روش پژوهش از نظر هدف کاربردی و از منظر گردآوری داده ها پیمایشی بود. جامعه آماری کلیه دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی دانشگاه تبریز به تعداد 6651 نفر بودند که از این تعداد 729 نفر از طریق فرمول کوکران به روش نمونه گیری طبقه ای به عنوان نمونه انتخاب شدند. برای گردآوری داده ها از ابزار پرسشنامه استفاده شد. یافته های پژوهش نشان داد که میانگین درصدی (88/59) عادی شدن سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی بالاتر از مقدار متوسط است. نتایج تحلیل رگرسیونی به روش گام به گام نشان داد که متغیرهای وارد شده در مدل؛ یعنی فشار اجتماعی، نظارت دانشگاهی و نظارت از سوی وزارت علوم، تحقیقات و فناوری درمجموع، توانستند 18/0 درصد تغییرات سازه عادی شدن سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی را تبیین کنند. با مقایسه ضرایب بتاها می توان گفت که سازه فشار اجتماعی با ضریب بتای 39 بیشترین تأثیر را در عادی شدن سوء رفتارهای پژوهشی دانشجویان منتخب در نمونه داشته است.

چکیده [English]
Nowadays, promoting academic loyalty and ethics and coping with research misbehavior, including plagiarism, forgery and misrepresentation have become an important part of the university mission, since the normalization of research misconduct undermines the integrity and loyalty of science, the link between science, society, industry, and damages the reputation of scientific institutions. Accordingly, the main target of the present study was to study the determinants of research misbehavior normalization among the postgraduate students of Tabriz University. The research method is applied in terms of purpose and is a survey in terms of data collection. The statistical population of the study consisted of 6651 postgraduate students of Tabriz University, of whom 729 students were selected through stratified random sampling method and Cochran formula. In this study, a questionnaire was used for data collection. The findings of the present study showed that the level of research misbehavior normalization was higher than the average (59.88). The results of the stepwise regression analysis showed that the variables included in the model, namely social pressure, academic and the Ministry of Science Research and Technology supervision were able to explain 0.18% of the variance in the normalization of research misbehavior. By comparing the beta coefficients, it can be said that social pressure (B=39) has the strongest influence on the normalization of research misbehavior among the selected students.
