Abstract
This research has attempted to study faculty members' perception at Najran University about academic integrity issues: benefits and challenges of promoting academic integrity, university initiatives and faculty members' practices to promote academic integrity. Two questionnaires were distributed on a stratified sample among faculty members: (26) respondents responded to the open ended questions and (200) respondents responded to the three-point Likert Scale Questionnaire. Frequencies and percentages were utilized to answer the formulated research questions. Findings revealed high percentages of agreement on the following benefits: the commitment to academic integrity reduces violations, protects people's rights, and affects the institution's academic reputation. The majority of the participants agreed that firm response to academic integrity violations, achieving the core values of academic integrity and factors facilitate academic dishonesty are challenging the institution face in promoting academic integrity. Findings also showed high percentages of agreement about keeping records as evidence related to the issues of academic dishonesty, declaring an academic integrity and implementing academic integrity orientation programs for freshmen. The most frequent practices faculty members use to promote academic integrity were setting exam rules to avoid exam misconduct, encouraging an environment of mutual trust during lectures, and responding to academic integrity violations immediately. Some recommendations were also suggested to promote academic integrity in the university.
