User Information Security Behavior Towards Data Breach in Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Enabled Organizations - Leveraging Protection Motivation Theory
Anthony Duke Giwah · 2018
User information security behavior has been an area of growing demand in information systems (IS) research. Unfortunately, most of the research done in user information security behavior have been in broad contexts, therefore creating a gap in the literature for similar research that focuses on specific technologies and organizational technology policies. With organization's looking to increase productivity, reduce cost, and increase the flexibility in how employees work, they are introducing policies such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). However, increasing data breach tied to user negligence and noncompliance with security policies makes it imperative to better understand user information security behavior. The paper explores existing literature, proposes a conceptual model based on Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), and an approach to conduct the study. The paper also highlights contributions the study will make to the area of IS research.
