“…To starve security best practices is to starve innovation (Cooney et al ., 2022). Leaders must support the BDA team as they create a robust information security policy and insist on compliance with those policies (Nord et al ., 2022).…”

“…Strong BDA talent quality personnel would be expected to have quality management processes to address privacy, security, availability, response time, and system reliability (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990;Grover et al, 2018;Ji-fan Ren et al, 2017). Since BDA projects are often multi-disciplinary, functional managers as co-creators and beneficiaries of BDA innovations would be expected to advocate strongly for policies that protect data assets and act as role models with high expectations about compliance (Nord et al, 2022). Given the collaborative nature of BDA talent quality tasks, messages about how to address security and privacy threats, risks, and vulnerabilities would likely be shared by the BDA talent quality personnel and valued firm-wide, increasing organizational BDA system quality (Ji-fan Ren et al, 2017;Nord et al, 2022).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to propose a research model with eight constructs, i.e. BDA leadership, BDA talent quality, BDA security quality, BDA privacy quality, innovation, financial performance, market performance and customer satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachThe research model focuses on whether (1) Big Data Analytics (BDA) leadership influences BDA talent quality, (2) BDA talent quality influences BDA security quality, (3) BDA talent quality influences BDA privacy quality, (4) BDA talent quality influences Innovation and (5) innovation influences a firm's performance (financial, market and customer satisfaction). An instrument was designed and administered electronically to a diverse set of employees (N = 188) in various organizations in the USA. Collected data were analyzed through a partial least square structural equation modeling.FindingsResults showed that leadership significantly and positively affects BDA talent quality, which, in turn, significantly and positively impacts security quality, privacy quality and innovation. Moreover, innovation significantly and positively impacts firm performance. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. Recommendations for future research are provided.Originality/valueThe study provides empirical evidence that leadership significantly and positively impacts BDA talent quality. BDA talent quality, in turn, positively impacts security quality, privacy quality and innovation. This is important, as these are all critical factors for organizations that collect and use big data. Finally, the study demonstrates that innovation significantly and positively impacts financial performance, market performance and customer satisfaction. The originality of the research results makes them a valuable addition to the literature on big data analytics. They provide new insights into the factors that drive organizational success in this rapidly evolving field.

“…Insider threats are manifested when “human behaviour departs from compliance with established policies”, regardless of whether the insider threat emanates from an intentional or unintentional source (Greitzer et al , 2008, p. 61). More research is needed on the determinants that influence information security compliant behaviour, as this can help provide an additional layer of defence against information security threats (Nord et al , 2022). Additionally, these defensive measures should be underpinned by insider profiles (McBride et al , 2012).…”

Purpose This investigation serves a dual purpose: providing preliminary results and serving as a pilot study to confirm the viability of the hypotheses advanced towards a full-scale study. This paper aims to present the preliminary findings of an investigation that explored the constructs of personality traits and situational crime prevention theory (SCPT) as antecedents to social cognitive determinants (attitude, perceived behavioural control and subjective norms using the theory of planned behaviour [TPB] framing) and how these elements subsequently estimate compliant information security behaviour. Moreover, this paper delves into the contrasting influences of light and dark personality traits on insider information security compliance. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was conducted to study SCPT measures and the personality factors dyad using a diverse but limited sample (n = 82). Findings There were ten significant direct relationships between SCPT factors and personality traits related to the components of the TPB. Seventeen hypotheses were not supported. However, these findings highlight the complexity of the topic under study. Practical implications Understanding individual differences within the compliance model could be used for custom training protocols, employee selection, assignment and specific types of information security interventions. Originality/value There is a scarcity of studies considering the effects of situational and personality factors, specifically the dark versus light triad of personality traits within the information security domain. Therefore, this preliminary result provides early insight that could guide further studies. This research could have important implications for organisations at risk of insider attacks.
