Perceptions of Ethical Issues in Hospitality and Tourism Research

In hospitality and tourism research, little is known about faculty members' and graduate students' perceptions of ethics. This study examined those perceptions to investigate how these groups have witnessed unethical behavior and their perceptions of ethics in research. Results showed that assigning authorship appears as an ethical issue for both faculty and graduate students, whereas plagiarism, as may be expected, was reported in work conducted by graduate students more than in work conducted by faculty members. Based on the findings of the study, implications and recommendations regarding ethical issues in hospitality and tourism research are provided.
