Abstract
This paper analyzes survey data of faculty members in four disciplines to explore the effect of patterns of faculty behavior and attitudes within departments on the departmental rates of observed misconduct and espoused scientific research values. The data suggest that the incidence of misconduct is best predicted by department climate variables, while adherance to “traditional” academic research values is affected not only by climate but also by departmental research productivity and levels of entrepreneurial behavior among faculty members.
