Credit is a great significance for the market economy. It is the basis and the soul of market economy. Credit management construction is at the preliminary step in China. Fragile basis of credit is seriously restricting healthy and stable development of China's economy, resulting in a large number of the spread of dishonesty. Customers, companies and government suffer a lot from this. As one infrastructure of national economy, telecom industry has the significant influence of development of national economy and the improvement of living standards. China's telecommunications companies are faced with the serious problems of credit management, the arrears is one of the problems. College students are the target market of mobile communication enterprises. This can not only increase market share, attract more customers, but also win the high quality in the future. Many students throw off the unpaid SIM card and then buy a new one. This behavior not only harms to the mobile communication companies but also harm to the building of China's credit environment.Based on such a motive, this paper tired to find out the factors which cause the dishonesty of college students on the basis of the other people's work and consumer behavior research. Through the survey method and demonstration research, we explore the real reasons for customer to switch service firms and default debts. We wish we could make some contributions and inspiration to the communications market.In this paper the author made a review of literature in the second part. First, discussed the consumer psychological characteristics and communications consumption characteristics. Then review the works of customer perception value, transfer costs and dishonesty costs.Through collation and reading of the literature, this study builds up a dishonesty-caused model of communication industry on the base of previous research. We divide three dimensions of the factor. They are customer perception value, transfer costs and dishonesty costs. Based on the model, we make up three assumptions. In order to obtain valid data, we sent out questionnaires in the major colleges and universities in Changchun. 220 questionnaires were sent out and 187 questionnaires were recycled. Finally, we got 158 valid questionnaires. The valid rate is 84.5%. The author refered the scale of customer loyalty of China mobile market (Zhao Jianwei, Qinrongfang, Cheng Mei-jing ,2005), the scale of keeping customer of mobile market (Liang Bo, Wu Jun Feng, Yu Hua Yang,2005),the scale of customer satisfaction and loyalty drivers of mobile market (Huo hua, Lu mei, Zhang famin). On this basis, and the author made a seriously consider of the questionnaire, to make sure it is easy to understand. The questionnaire used Likert five point scale.In the data analysis stage, the author used SPSS14.0 to analyse data. First, using descriptive statistics to describe distribution of samples. Calculating the mean and the standard deviation of the variables. Then testing the reliability and validity of the scale. Using Cronbach's a to test reliability to ensure data reliability and consistency. Through the extraction of principal component analysis getting the factor loading. The scale is proved to have good reliability and validity. The author explored the use of correlation analysis between the variables of the linear relationship and got the correlation coefficient R value by using multiple linear regression analysis. Then finding key factor.Data analysis showed that customers perceived value has positive effects to intention of dishonesty behavior. And the transfer cost has great positve effects to intention of dishonesty behavior. Dishonesty cost has great positve effects to intention of dishonesty behavior. The order of influence rate is dishonesty costs, transition costs, customer perceived value.Based on the result of the research, we have some advices followed: Improving the value of customer perception,and increasing the transfer costs and dishonesty costs. To inhance custmer perception value, telecommunications operators should deepen the satisfaction management and establish excellent service image. Building high-quality network to ensure the core competitiveness; innovating service model, strengthening service process; Focusing on customer complaints and shortcoming research. All of these are methods to improve customer satisfaction.Based on the study of this paper, we have put forward to the brand promise;inner connections ;building learning relationship; improving service quality. All of these can increase transfer costs and avoid switching to other operators.We can increase dishonesty costs in macro and micro ways. Imperfect credit system is the main reason for low dishonesty costs. Making the necessary punishment legally; increase economic costs and moral costs; reduce the occurrence of dishonesty can increase dishonesty costs. Can also enhance effective competition in the market to improve dishonesty cost. At the micro level, we increase dishonesty costs by media activities.The research of credit of the communications is still in the initial stage.Few schoolars have done the research of the relationship of dishonesty costs, transition costs, customer perceived value and the dishonesty behavior. Although we get some conclusions with theoretical and practical value, as research time, resources, as well as the author's own research level is limited, this research should be improved further.(1) We just did investigation in the colleges of Changchun because of the limitation of time, resource and cost. Because the standard of fee and service level are different in different areas, the applicability of the scale is not good. The scale still needs more applications in the communications companies and further research to make sure it is industry-wide adaptability.(2) There are many factors which affect the intention of dishonesty behavior, but we just focus on dishonesty costs, transition costs and customer perceived value, so we hope more scholars do more research from perspective of more factors.(3) There are two types of dishonesty behavior in communication consumption: arrears with switching operator and arrears without switching operator. We just discussed the the first situation in the paper.
