Employee and consumer fraud is both a national and global problem. Each year, organizations lose an estimated five percent of gross revenues to fraud (ACFE, 2012). This represents more than $3.4 trillion in potential losses annually (CIA, 2013, 2015). Most fraud research has focused on the sociological and criminological aspects of fraud. Detection and prevention methods have had some impact on reducing fraudulent behavior; however, the problem is pervasive. The commission of a fraudulent act is dependent on individual decision-making and influenced by personal values and beliefs (Murphy & Dacin, 2011). Thus, it is important to understand the psychology of fraud behavior. Participation was open to any individuals who chose to contribute; however, it was widely distributed to all college stakeholders (e.g., students, faculty, administrators, executives, staff, vendors, and so forth.). This nonexperimental, quantitative study found significant predictors of propensity for fraud behavior including moral maturity, propensity for moral disengagement, entitlement perceptions, and anomic beliefs. This self-report measure found that nearly 30% of participants self-reported prior fraud behavior totaling 176 incidents of fraud and none had been detected. Fraud is a serious problem facing organizational leadership around the world and additional research is required to increase understanding of the psychological factors influencing fraud behavior. This study identified personal factors influencing fraud behavior which it is hoped will aid in the establishment of educational, organizational, and social programs to reduce the prevalence of fraud on a global scale.
