N2  - Thisstudy is to cast a light on psychological factors, which force faculty memberstoward conducting unethical research. Since psychological factors are the keyfactors to control human behavior, in this paper, they are highlighted as themain purpose of the study. Methodologically, a qualitative approach was appliedto reveal the factors. Thematic analysis assisted the researchers discoveringthe main factors. Ten faculty members were interviewed as to understand theways that factors could deploy around the phenomenon. By considering KurtLewin’s force field theory, the factors were directed based on theiriterations. Results show that lack of self-control as a result of facultymembers’ self-interest, lack of moral awareness, self-justification, andnegative self-image would lead to a paucity of research ethics.
