“…The research framework analyzed the square multiple correlation (R2) coefficients for latent variables to examine the variance of the latent constructs. The structural model correlations (R2) findings in Table 5 indicate that the proposed model reflected statistically substantial variance for the outcome variable (Tewamba et al 2019).…”

The phenomenon of law implementation has received limited attention, despite the clear evidence that it is influenced by various factors prevalent in the country, and these factors can have an impact on and obstruct the effective implementation of legislation. The primary objective of this study was to analyze the critical factors that impact the implementation of cybersecurity laws in developing nations, such as Pakistan. The prevalence of corruption, a major hindrance to the implementation of cybersecurity laws and regulations, emerged as the most influential factor in Pakistan. Additionally, factors such as discrimination, illicit conduct, expertise, ambiguity, and public confidence significantly influenced the implementation of cybersecurity laws in Pakistan. A survey was conducted among managers from banking and IT firms to collect data samples on the factors that could potentially impact the implementation of the law. The findings from a sample of 172 respondents revealed that corruption, discrimination, illicit conduct, and ambiguity appeared to have a significant negative influence on cybersecurity law implementation, whereas expertise and public confidence emerged to have a significant positive influence on the implementation of cybersecurity laws in Pakistan. This study suggests that the government of Pakistan should consider various measures such as providing training, improving capacity building, fostering institutional cooperation, strengthening legislative conviction, and promoting global collaborations to enhance the implementation of cybersecurity.

“…In order to test various hypotheses a hypothetical-deductive methodology is followed that relies on quantitative data gathered from a survey (Arsenault, 2011;Yin, 2012). The hypothetical-deductive approach, mostly used in the social sciences, has proven effective and employs techniques like structural equation modeling (SEM), partial least squares (PLS), and their combination (Nguegang Tewamba et al, 2019).…”

The purpose of this research is to evaluate how companies approach cybersecurity, which measures the companies set, and how it is reflected in relation to organizational learning. A questionnaire was distributed electronically among 124 IT and IS professionals working in companies based in the Czech and Slovak Republic. Hypotheses were tested using the chi-square test of independence, the Mann–Whitney U test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. The results depict that cybersecurity is a fundamental topic for most companies. Unless companies declare the importance of cybersecurity, they do not tend to set and use security rules unless they are not under security laws. Research shows that costs for cybersecurity are variable, not fixed, and are in correlation with the size of the company and the turnover.

Purpose The Colombian Government launched an e-government initiative in 2008 to facilitate communication among the government, citizens and organizations. Considering the high level of mistrust of citizens and businesses toward governmental institutions, the government must ensure the security of the information handled and provided by online users. Results to date have not been adequate in the usage of e-government systems. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the level of online security affects usage and impacts the cost-effectiveness and quality of the operations and, consequently, the operational effectiveness of organizations using e-government systems. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the antecedents and outcomes of operational effectiveness. To this end, 440 usable questionnaires were collected from managers and personnel from Colombian organizations using e-government systems. Findings According to the findings, there is a positive predictive relationship between online security and the dimensions of electronic government effectiveness. Furthermore, neither online security nor any of the dimensions of electronic government effectiveness affect the operational costs of organizations. Nonetheless, the quality of information has a positive effect on the quality of operations. As a result, through the quality of the information, online security has an indirect impact on the quality of operations. Research limitations/implications The authors used a convenience sample, carefully selecting respondents based on their operations and practice knowledge and implementation of online security processes. Besides, compared to previous research conducted in developed nations, the sample size is relatively small. Because the survey is based on responses from official companies, it must also be taken into account that over 50% of Colombian labor is informal. Furthermore, Colombia is a nation with a high level of mistrust. When considering these factors, generalizability to all industrial sectors is questionable. Nevertheless, the findings of this study offer relevant information that indicates the need for more extended and comprehensive quantitative research. Practical implications Improvements in organizations that use e-government systems, based on the benefits that high-quality information brings to operational performance – cost and quality – will help them survive and become more sustainable and competitive. Furthermore, this study supports the assertion that aspects like online security are critical in promoting information and communication technology uptake and user acceptance in transition and rising economies like Colombia. Originality/value There is still a scarcity of information on assessing the effectiveness of electronic government systems and their impact on the quality and cost of operations in organizations that use them. Additionally, Colombia, as a country with low levels of trust between citizens, organizations and government, still lacks information about the impact of online security on the effectiveness of its operations.
