Students’ computers safety behaviors, under effects of cognition and socialization: when gender and job experience influence information security behaviors

Examining the Differential Effectiveness of Fear Appeals in Information Security Management Using Two-Stage Meta-Analysis

“…MASEM and TSSEM build on meta-analysis, a statistical technique that enables the systematic review of a research stream's literature by combining and analyzing its empirical results [11,32,60,98,146]. By using the power of effect-size statistics pooled across many studies, meta-analysis can illuminate pragmatic research and practice problems by demonstrating which treatments or relationships are meaningful, thus overcoming the deficiencies of individual papers [155].…”

“…The SBT is described by four main constructs or types of bonding that ensure socialisation. These constructs are attachment, commitment, involvement and personal norms (Berthevas, 2018).

“…A review of existing literature points out that constructs of behavioural theories have a significant influence on efforts to shape employees’ attitude and behaviour intentions in line with information security (D’Arcy and Teh, 2019; Moody, 2018; Shropshire et al , 2015; Vance et al , 2019). These behavioural theories include accountability theory (Vance et al , 2015), general deterrence theory (Chen et al , 2018; Safa et al , 2019), protection motivation theory (Chang et al , 2018; Herath and Rao, 2009b; Rajab and Eydgahi, 2019; Tsai et al , 2016), the theory of planned behaviour (Rajab and Eydgahi, 2019; Sommestad, 2018; Uffen et al , 2013), technology acceptance model (Uffen et al , 2013), organisational culture theory (Alhogail, 2015; Da Veiga, 2018), social bond theory (Berthevas, 2018) and social cognitive theory (Gwebu et al , 2018; Rhee et al , 2009).

“…Also, organisations need to steps to promote and monitor compliance with information security policies (Alias, 2019; D’Arcy and Teh, 2019). One of such steps recommended in the existing literature for promoting compliance with the ISP is user involvement (Berthevas, 2018). Safa et al (2016) point out that involvement has the potential to sway attitude towards compliance.…”
