چکیده
سؤال اصلی پژوهش این بود که چه دلایل، شرایط و زمینه هایی سبب ایجاد فساد دانشگاهی می شود و بروز فساد دانشگاهی چه پیامدهایی برای دانشجویان، استادان، ساختار نظام آموزش عالی و دیگر نهادها و سازمانهای جامعه دارد. روش پژوهش تئوری زمینه ای بود. داده ها از طریق مصاحبه کیفی عمیق با 22 نفر از دانشجویان دوره دکتری، اعضای هیئت علمی دپارتمان علوم اقتصادی و اداری و علوم انسانی و اجتماعی دانشگاههای شهید بهشتی، تربیت مدرس و مازندران و همچنین سیاستگذاران حوزه علم و فناوری در سال 96-1395 به شیوه نمونه گیری نظری و هدفمند جمع آوری شد. یافته ها نشان داد که تعدد نهادهای تصمیم گیرنده خط مشی علمی، تمرکزگرایی، توجه به کمّیت به جای کیفیت، قانون گریزی، تجاری شدن آموزش عالی، افزایش تقاضای جامعه برای آموزش عالی و مدرکگرایی از جمله علل اصلی بروز فساد دانشگاهی است. همچنین شرایط و زمینه های دیگری چون شکاف بین دانشگاه و صنعت، رویه های نادرست نظارت رسمی در دانشگاهها و تنزل آموزش در بروز فساد دانشگاهی مؤثرند. مطالعه نشان داد که پیامد چنین فسادی به کمرنگ شدن اخلاق فردی و حرفه ای، پیامدهای منفی اقتصادی و پایین آمدن رفاه کلی جامعه منجر خواهد شد.

چکیده [English]
The present research proposed a main question: what are causes and contexts of academic corruption and what are consequences of this corruption for students, professors, higher education structure and, in general, for other institutions and organizations of a society? Grounded Theory was used as research approach. data was collected through deep qualitative interviews with 22 doctoral students, faculty members of economic sciences and human science departments of Shahid Beheshti, Tarbiyat Modares and Mazandaran universities, and policy-makers in the field of science and technology (Academic year 2016 – 17). The sample was selected by theoretical and purposive sampling techniques. Findings indicated that multiplicity of institutions determining academic policy, centralism, importance of quantity rather than quality, escaping the law, higher education commercialization, increased demand for higher education, credentialism were among the main causes of academic corruption. Moreover, other contexts and causes such as gap between university and industry, wrong procedures for formal supervision and degradation of teaching contributed to university corruption. Results demonstrated that such corruption weakens individual and professional ethics, negative economic consequences and lowers total level of social well-being.
