Cheating on tests is a serious problem in education. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of a modified form of the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to predict cheating behavior among a sample of Saudi university students. This study also sought to test the influence of cheating in high school on cheating in college within the framework of the TPB. Analyses were conducted on a sample of 322 undergraduate students using structural equation modeling. The results were consistent with the TPB model’s predictions. The TPB model explained a modest variance in cheating in college. When cheating in high school added to the model, the proportion of explained variance increased and cheating in high school was the best predictor of cheating in college. Although not hypothesized by the TPB, subjective norm had a direct effect on attitude.

Produktivitas kelapa sawit petani rakyat masih rendah dibandingankan dengan produktivitas rata-rata Indonesia, untuk meningkatkannya diperlukan bahan tanam kelapa sawit unggul. Bahan kelapa sawit yang berkualitas seperti bibit tenera merupakan salah satu modal utama untuk mendapatkan produktivitas tinggi. Namun pada kenyataannya belum semua petani rakyat menggunakan bibit tenera. Maka dari itu petani perlu didorong untuk menggunakan bibit tenera agar dapat meningkatkan produktivitas kelapa sawit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisi pengaruh effort expectancy , pengetahuan produk dan teori TPB (Theory of Planned Behavior) terhadap niat beli bibit tenera pada petani rakyat di Kecamatan Selesai Kabupaten Langkat Sumatera Utara. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling). Kesimpulan penelitian antara lain effort expectancy tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Niat Beli. Norma Subjektif berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Niat Beli. Pengetahuan Produk berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Niat Beli, Persepsi Kontrol Perilaku berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Niat Beli. Sikap tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap Niat Beli.
