<![CDATA[AbstractThe historical development of audit practices is inseparable from various cases of ethical violations and deviations from audit standards. This behavior is explained as a dysfunction behavior that is closely related to today's modern human profession. This study discusses how machiavellian tendencies in a person are very closely related to behavioral dysfunction in the auditor and how spiritual concepts in the workplace become a solution in preventing and minimizing these attitudes and behaviors. The study was conducted on 115 auditors in the Jakarta public accounting firm through a survey. The data analysis method used is quantitative data analysis with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach assisted by the LISREL 8.80 program. Data processing results show that workplace spirituality has a significant negative effect on audit dysfunction behavior through machiavellian nature, but does not have a negative and significant effect directly on dysfunction behavior.Keywords: Attribution theory; Audit dysfunction behavior; Machiavellian tendencies; Workplace spirituality.Abstrak Sejarah perkembangan praktik audit tidak terlepas dari berbagai kasus pelanggaran etika dan penyimpangan atas standar audit.
