Abstract

Previous studies have related plagiarism with several situational factors than internal ones, which are actually interesting to be investigated, such as achievement motivation. The purpose of this study was thus to see the correlation between intention of plagiarism with achievement motivation factors (hope of success and fear of failure). In this study, 210 university students were asked to indicate their responses to the scale of hope of success, fear of failure, and intention of plagiarisme. The result shows a correlation between fear of failure with intention of plagiarism, while insignificant correlation was found between hope of success with intention of plagiarisme. It is concluded that individuals with intention of plagiarisme are more influenced by the feeling of fear of failure.
