Influence of Ethics Training on the Employees’ Information Security Compliance Intentions
Yongbin Lee, Seungmin Oh · Research Square · 2023
Abstract Organizations must ensure that employees maintain information security policy (ISP) compliance intentions with respect to published policies to improve their information security (IS) posture. Employees’ noncompliance behaviors make them the weakest link in organizations’ IS. Researchers in different fields of studies utilized ethics training and provided evidence that it has positive effects on employees’ compliance intentions. However, despite the capabilities of ethics training in compliance intention improvement, IS research on the influence of ethics training on employees’ ISP compliance intentions is limited. This nonexperimental quantitative explanatory study addressed the gap in empirical support for investigating whether ethics training influences employees’ ISP compliance intentions.
