“…There are only 11 studies examining actual behavior [22,24,25]. When it comes to measurement of actual behaviors, most studies used items such as, "I comply with the information security policy," but a few did not follow this approach.…”

“…Many of these factors relate to the consequentialism ethical perspective, where factors such as perceived threat vulnerability (employees' perceptions of probability of harm occurring to organizations resulting from IS policy noncompliance behaviors) and perceived threat severity (employees' perceptions of severity of harm to organizations resulting from IS policy noncompliance behaviors if harm has occurred) [2,5,9,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Concurrently, others have studied factors with the deontological focus, such as moral obligation (employees' perceptions of severity of harm to organization resulting from their noncompliance behaviors if harm has occurred) [23,[26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…The top three theories were the DT, theory of reasoned action/planned behavior (TRA), and protection motivation theory (PMT). As shown in Table 3, 12 studies relied on the DT [3, 12, 19, 26-28, 55, 62, 63, 66, 69, 70], whereas the TRA was used in seven studies [5,10,11,22,23,61,67] and PMT in five studies [9,20,21,24,74]. Both the rational choice theory (RCT) and social cognitive theory (SCT) have been adopted in three studies.…”

“…It was not until 2006 when the TRA was introduced in IS research [22], which resulted in its use in six papers [5,10,11,23,61,67]. The first empirical study based on the PMT was published in 2008 [24], and this theory was cited in five papers [9,20,21,24,74].…”

Information Security (IS) is one of the biggest concerns for many organizations. This concern has led many to focus a huge effort into studying different IS areas. One of these critical areas is the human aspect, where investigation of employees' behaviors has emerged as an important topic. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of all empirical studies published on this topic. The review will highlight the theoretical and methodological development and the dissemination of related empirical studies in academic journals throughout the years. At the end of the review, future research considerations are discussed and shared.

Voter, What Message Will Motivate You To Verify Your Vote?

Abstract-There is increasing interest in verifiable Internet voting systems that enable voters to verify the integrity of their vote on the voting platform prior to casting it, and any interested party to verify the integrity of the election results. The ease with which a vote can be verified plays a key role. Empowering individual voters to act as interested yet objective verifiers increases the probability of fraud detection. Verifying constitutes additional effort, something humans resist unless the benefits are compelling enough. Thus, what is the best way to provide such motivation? We report on a survey, distributed to 123 respondents, in which we explore the effects of three types of motivating messages on voters' intention to verify a vote, using a smartphone app. The motivating messages were intended to increase the intention to verify a vote. Our findings have persuaded us that further research on the use of motivating messages in the context of verifiable voting is warranted.
