“…Policy awareness is a complex phenomenon which could be defined as the extent to which individuals notice policies, are informed about specific regulations (e.g., Chua et al, 2018;Zhu et al, 2018), and are equipped with relevant tools that would empower individuals to comply with the policies (Dodson et al, 2012). Kinzig et al (2013) has pointed out that regulation through official policy acts as both informing and enforcing the desired behavior, yet the manner through which (and if) individual norms and attitudes change to produce lasting behavioral shifts in the desired direction is largely unstudied.…”

“…Some policies are more strictly enforced by law, making policy-congruent behavior not a matter of personal choice. For example, organizations have no choice but to comply with data security policies (Chua et al, 2018). Many of the policies that target environmentally relevant behavior, however, do not carry an injunction, and adherence to them is for the most part voluntary (Lülfs & Hahn, 2013), thus allowing for individually held beliefs to have a more substantial role in shaping behavior.…”

“…In addition, to achieve lasting behavioral change, psychological factors such as norms, habits, intentions, and one's immediate situation have to be addressed as well. In the upcoming sections, we will first introduce the concept of policy awareness, which has been identified as a significant predictor of policycongruent behavior in areas other than pro-environmental behavior (Chua et al, 2018;Knapp & Ferrante, 2012), and has potential in explaining pro-environmental behavior (i.e., bottled water purchasing) among adolescents. Second, we will introduce the theoretical framework that encompasses the psychological factors relevant for pro-environmental behavior (Klöckner & Blöbaum, 2010) and through which we will investigate the role of policy awareness.…”

Policy awareness increases the likelihood of policy-congruent behavior. Yet individuals may differ in the extent to which they notice certain policies; thus, psychological factors that explain behavior can have a differing effect on policy-congruent behavior of individuals. We investigated to what extent the relationship between normative, habitual, intentional, and situational factors that explain bottled water purchasing behavior vary regarding individuals’ awareness of policy targeted at reducing bottled water purchasing. We investigated this question in a representative sample of Lithuanian adolescents. Our study indicated that awareness of policy targeted at bottled water purchasing acts as a moderator for adolescents’ normative, habitual, intentional, and situational factors related to their bottled water purchasing. In low, moderate, and high policy awareness groups, habit was the strongest direct predictor of behavior. Normative factors had a strong effect in explaining intentions; in addition, awareness of consequences was directly related with behavior in the high policy awareness group. However, situational factors were insignificant predictors of self-reported behavior. Based on the results of the current study, we suggest that to achieve policy-congruent behavior, policy makers should consider both policy-reinforcing incentives and the level of policy awareness of the targeted group.

“…The education level plays an important part in the effectiveness of training and knowledge acquisition. Education levels of employees are significantly associated with policy awareness and compliance [47]. The participants are having a mean overall work experience of 12 years ranging from a minimum of two years to a maximum of 28 years (general work experience which may include EHS or safety experience).…”

Training is important for the development of skills and knowledge. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of post- safety training on the supervisors learning process, behaviour towards safety and development of safe work environment in the automotive original equipment manufacturing (OEM) companies. In the present study, a total of 129 supervisor level employees from different Indian automotive OEMs units, who have undergone a minimum of one-day safety training in the past three years, were a part of the survey. The survey was administered with the aid of a pre-validated designed questionnaire (developed in consultation with industry experts) to collect responses from the supervisor’s level employees during the period of January- August 2019. The 63 different manufacturing OEM automotive units from the Delhi- NCR and Pune- Nashik - Kolhapur from Western region agreed to participate in the survey. The results obtained were tested using multiple hierarchical regression analysis in a stepwise method, along with the correlation coefficient analysis. The results indicated that knowledge acquisition, learning process, and employee involvement regarding risks and hazards identification were positively related to the perceived effectiveness of post- safety training by the supervisors. It was further found that the post- safety training has no significant contribution towards the perceived self- behavior change and development of safe work environment. The effectiveness of safety training and development of safe environment along with the change in behavior towards the safety is related to factors such as related education in safety and health, working experience in the field of safety or EHS domain and knowledge of the supervisors gained through their career which play a significant role. A safety culture can be created by the organization by harnessing the safety-related work experience of the supervisors and periodically conducting the skill development program.

Currently the organization is facing challenges due to the Covid19 pandemic which has caused changes in work patterns for all members of the organization. The priority of management is to give more attention to information security, especially for members and government organizations in general. Various information security practices have been carried out, but there are obstacles that occur such as the lack of awareness of information security, work behavior, work culture and the lack of human resources available and this can have a negative impact on the level of information security concern in the organization. Information security practices carried out by management do not always have an impact on changes in the behavior of organizational members. From the data obtained, there are many information security practices that may have been implemented by management. But do members of the organization care about the practice. Therefore, it is important to conduct research with the aim of knowing the practice of information security concern that has been carried out by management whether it has an impact on organizational members, especially the organization itself. This study used qualitative and quantitative interpretive approaches as a data collection process in three government organizations. Qualitative is used to obtain data from management and processed using the SAP-LAP model through interviews. Then an online survey was conducted with members of the organization to determine the impact of implementing information security care practices on the organization. The results show that organizational members have a high level of concern for the management's information security practices.
