The objective of the research was to examine the effect of locus of control and self-esteem on students’ ethical behavior. The research sample consists of 480 students of the Faculty of Teaching and Education, Universitas Halu Oleo Indonesia during academic-year 2022. Data was collected using five-choice Likert scale model questionnaires, ethical behavior scale rα= 0.81, locus of control scale rα=0.86, and self-esteem scale rα =0.86. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software. The results showed that there was a significant positive effect of locus of control and self-esteem on students’ ethical behavior either partially or simultaneously. This means, the better the students’ locus of control and self-esteem, the better their ethical behavior will be.
