“…Although some technology adoption constructs have significant impact on individual and organizational cyber security, but still applying these models for cyber security have not engrossed enough attention in information security literature. Some studies are available (Almaiah et al 2019;Cuganesan et al 2018;D'Arcy and Greene 2014;Hu et al 2012;Liu et al 2020; S. Raschid Muller and Mary L. Lind 2020; Simonova 2020) but their studies are biased towards some specific type of employees, groups, professions and factors.…”

“…Most of the previous studies are biased towards a specific group of people and not applicable to general users or employees. For example, the detailed study conducted by (Almaiah, Alamri, and Al-Rahmi 2019;Cuganesan, Steele, and Hart 2018;D'Arcy and Greene 2014;Hu et al 2012;Liu, Wang, and Liang 2020;S.

IT infrastructure and systems are made up of technical as well as social systems that work in alliance to ensure that organization's goals and objectives are met. Security controls and measures are developed and used to guard data and information systems of the organization. The breaches of Cyber security are primarily caused by the misuse of information systems and failure to comply with cyber security measures. Cyber security non-compliance is a major concern for organizations. For effective compliance and human acceptance of cyber security technology and complying with cyber practices, it is essential to ascertain, research, and examine the factors which contribute to the compliance and implementation of cyber security. This study has utilized an enhanced UTAUT2 i.e. Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 model and assessed its relationship with cyber security compliance. Five new formal and informal factors that affect cyber security compliance in organizations are identified and evaluated. The research questions addressed are: how the formal factors of technical measures; accountability; monitoring and evaluation impact employee's behaviour towards cyber security compliance. The study comprises a correlational survey of employees working at e-government organizations in Saudi Arabia. Results indicate that there is a significant role play by technical measures; accountability; monitoring and evaluation, on employee attitudes and behaviour towards cyber security compliance.

“…Others consider social norms as a set of implicit and explicit rules, principles and standards that are transferred among group members through socialization and interactions (Cialdini and Trost, 1998). Cuganesan et al (2018) argued that feelings of moral obligation can be traced to social norms and an individual's behaviour is guided by social sanctions but not the force of law. The main tenets of social norms include descriptive norms and injunctive norms.…”

“…The fundamental idea is that employee compliance with ISPs enhance security within an organization (Sommestad et al, 2014). However, people seldom comply with these policies (Cuganesan et al, 2018), therefore placing information resources in danger. Indeed, research indicates that negligence and non-compliance to ISPs account for most security breaches (Pattabiraman et al, 2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine which factors influence information system security policy compliance. It examines how different norms influence compliance intention. Design/methodology/approach Based on relevant literature on information system security policy compliance, a research model was developed and validated. An online questionnaire was used to gather data from respondents and partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse 432 responses received. Findings The results indicated that attitude towards information security compliance mediates the effects of personal norms on compliance intention. In addition, descriptive and subjective norms are significant predictors of personal norms. Originality/value Though advancement in technology has reached significant heights, it is still inadequate to guaranteed information systems’ security. Researchers have identified humans to be central in ensuring information security. To this effect, this study provides empirical evidence of the role of norms in influence information security behaviour.
