In this study, qualitative research method and qualitative content analysis approach were used to analyze the data. The components used were identified based on a review of documents and semi-structured interview tools. In order to review the documents and analyze the interview findings, the inductive content analysis method was used at three levels: open, axial, and selective. To comprehensively identify the main components and subcomponents of approaches to creating, maintaining, and improving students' academic integrity, in addition to reviewing studies conducted in this field, a semi-structured interview was conducted with 20 professors and instructors at Payame Noor University (PNU) who were knowledgeable in the field of academic integrity. The results of the research showed that approaches to creating, maintaining, and improving students' academic integrity include three main components and six subcomponents, which are: 1- educational approaches a) teaching and learning process 2- educational interventions and behavior shaping. 2- Supportive approach a) Culture building b) Providing guidance and counseling services. 3- Punitive approaches a) Setting and approving laws and regulations b) Punishment and educational sanctions. Conclusion: Although many students consider academic dishonesty to be unfair, immoral, and against their religious values, this intentional unethical behavior is on the rise in the academic environment. Therefore, a proper understanding of academic dishonesty and the causes and conditions that underlie this phenomenon will help to adopt policies, initiatives, and collaborations to promote and apply values related to academic dishonesty, and to maintain and improve it.
