Factors influencing information security policy compliance behavior

Abstract

Globally, banks are deploying reliant data protection technologies to secure business continuity. However, information security attackers leverage on employees seldom predisposition to compromise firms' assets. The study therefore examines attributing factors influencing information security compliance behavior in the Ghanaian banking sector. A survey design approach was adopted to validate the research model. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) were used to analyze 329 valid data. The model results showed that perceived threat, vulnerability, response cost, and efficiency had a significant effect on compliance but interestingly not for Self-Efficacy. Perceived threat severity had the most significant effect on IS compliance behavior. Overall, our model accounted for 60% of the variation in IS compliance. � 2019 IEEE.
