Abstract
The rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technology(ICT)has facilitated the widespread adoption of e-learning in both educational and corporate settings, offering benefits such as flexibility and the removal of geographical and time constraints. However, concerns about learning integrity, particularly dishonest behaviors and inappropriate learning practices, have surfaced. While research on issues like misconduct and unethical actions is abundant internationally, limited focus has been placed on these challenges in Japanese corporate environments. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating unethical e-learning practices among employees in large Japanese corporations. Using data from a web-based survey conducted in September 2024, this research examines the prevalence and causes of these practices and considers possible countermeasures. The findings provide practical insights for improving corporate e-learning and contribute to broader discussions on its role in modern corporate structures.
