This study examines how gender, power, and lifestyle with cheating behavior and corruption in the work environment with the basis of triangle fraud theory, by highlighting women with fraud. An individual’s lifestyle has an impact on susceptibility to fraud or corruption. It also becomes interesting to examine more deeply, where women tend to maintain a luxurious lifestyle, than men. This study uses the literature study (SLR) method to analyze gender roles in cases of fraud, the stages in SLR include literature as a tool to process the latest publications in the last 10 years with a focus on databases such as Open Knowledge, Emerald, JSTOR, and Science Direct. Relevant keywords such as “Fraud by Gender”, “Triangle Fraud”, “Individual Fraud Cases” Indonesian College of Economics, Surabaya, East Java 60118, Indonesian, “Fraud by Power”, and “Lifestyle Fraud” are used for searches. After screening, data from various types of literature such as articles/journals, working papers, and books were analyzed to identify patterns and themes related to cheating and gender roles. Also, use Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) to help design a systematic review of research findings suggesting that power, internal pressure, and luxury lifestyle, can be major drivers for women to engage in cheating behavior.
