“…Furthermore, a prevalent issue is that many employees remain unaware of their organization's security policies (Martins and Eloff, 2002;Nwankpa and Datta, 2023). This knowledge gap, often exacerbated by inadequate communication and training, reduces the efficacy of essential security measures, leaving room for potential vulnerabilities (Mady et al, 2023;Dornheim and Zarnekow, 2023).…”

In the advanced field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within modern corporate frameworks, the pressing issue of non-compliance becomes increasingly crucial. Achieving the ideal balance—where one fosters consistent employee commitment without resorting to overly harsh penalties for possible violations—presents a complex problem. Such a nuanced relationship calls for a synchronized coordination among the company’s underlying factors, the principles of the Information Security Plan (ISP), and overarching compliance mandates. As companies step into a period where digital environments are in constant flux, the importance of securing information systems rises to a critical level. Against this backdrop, compliance stands out as a vital component, functioning as a stringent safeguard in the ongoing mission to protect precious digital assets—a mission comprehensively detailed within the ISP. This in-depth academic study sets out to rigorously explore and scrutinize the diverse opinions and beliefs of committed employees and insightful management concerning unwavering company alignment with the ISP. This is accomplished by defining a construct that centers on key dimensions: Organizational Culture, Personal Attitudes, Actors, Behavioral Intentions, and Motivational Dynamics. Eleven Hypotheses are outlined and represent the materialisation of the model. This model form a starting point from which future empirical exploration will be able to take place, propelling us towards a deeper understanding of the phenomena under scrutiny.
