Experience Matters

Abstract

Information systems security is a major organizational concern. This study examines the role of vicarious experience on an individual's behavioral intent to perform a secure recommended response. The protection motivation theory model is expanded to include vicarious experience, which was examined through the separate constructs of vicarious threat experience and vicarious response experience. This study closes a gap in the literature by including vicarious experience in the PMT model and confirming its role as a significant direct influence on the PMT threat and coping constructs, and thus on the PMT model's ability to explain the variance of an individual's intent to perform secure behaviors. Additionally, vicarious experience measures were multi-item reflective scales rather than the single item measures that are more typically used to measure experience. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

“…integrators in industry-4.0, which contributes to the large-scale deployment of low-power and lossy (LLN) networks (Ghaleb et al, 2018) that enable networked connection among People, processes, data, and things here Things are physical devices and objects connected to the internet for intelligent decision-making; Real-time insight Data is mainly used to leverage these data into more useful information for decision-making, and the process is used to deliver the right information to the right person (or machine) at the right time and finally, People involved in more Relevant, valuable ways. Despite the rise, one of the major inconveniences slowing rapid adaption is the 'security' (Mutchler & Warkentin, 2020;Zhou & Jing, 2020) of these devices (Suresh Babu et al, 2016). The myriad of companies that manufacture them and the multiple protocols from the many standards that existing out there is one of the major reasons why there is still a non-standardized approach to solving these problems.…”
