The research model based on the theory of planned behaviour in combination with other human and organisational factors has made a useful contribution towards explaining compliance behaviour in relation to organisational ISPs, with trust being the most significant factor. In adopting a multidimensional approach to management-user interactions via multidisciplinary concepts and theories to evaluate the association between the integrated management-user values and the nature of compliance towards ISPs among selected health professionals, this study has made a unique contribution to the literature.

“…Ali and Green (2012) found that in the IT governance context, commitment is related to culture of compliance leading to effective IT governance. In studies of a related area, Chang et al, (2012), and Herath and Rao (2009), argue that employees with high organisational commitment are more likely to comply with information security policy. This is consistent with earlier study that employees with high organisational commitment are less likely to engage in non-productive and counterproductive behaviours that potentially result in negative consequences to their organisation's IT systems (Stanton et al, 2003).…”

The importance of IT governance has received increasing attention in the recent years. Extensive literature addresses top management and organisational issues of IT governance. However, recent findings suggest that people issues in IT governance equally deserve attention. Guided by the Theory of Planned Behaviour, this study examines the influence of IT practitioners and management guidance on the extent of their participation in IT governance initiatives. A quantitative study was conducted among IT practitioners in Malaysia. Data analysis using Partial Least Squares suggests that subjective norms and perceived behavioural controls on IT practitioners result in greater participation in IT governance initiatives. However, attitudes do not have significant relationship with participation in IT governance initiatives, in contrast with prediction of the theory. Further analysis reveals that awareness and perceived importance of IT governance are the two most important factors from the practitioner perspective. As for management guidance, organisational processes and reward system are the most important, closely followed by organisational structure. The findings reaffirm that IT governance requires control in the form of organisational structures, processes, goal settings and reward system to encourage desirable behaviours in IT governance initiatives.

“…Gyekye (2005) found that workers with higher levels of satisfaction had higher safe work behaviors and lower accident involvement rates. As a safety-related organizational behavior, Greene and D'Arcy (2010), Chang et al (2012), and D'Arcy and Greene (2014) verified that employees with high job satisfaction tend to comply with information security policy. Therefore, this study hypothesizes the following: H1: Job satisfaction has a positive impact on ISPC.…”

Many existing studies focus on the effect of external influence mechanisms (e.g., deterrence) impacting information security policy compliance (ISPC). This study explores the formation of ISPC from an autonomous motivation perspective, based on social exchange theory and self-determination theory. Data were gathered by conducting a survey of 261 employees, with hierarchical regression analysis being used to test our hypotheses.The results indicated the following: First, job satisfaction and personal responsibility positively impact ISPC. Second, job satisfaction perceived by employees is positively linked to personal responsibility, where deterrence severity has a negative moderating effect on this relationship. Finally, personal responsibility mediates the relationship between job satisfaction and ISPC. This study suggests that organizational support should focus on promoting perceived self-determination of employees, and that deterrence should be maintained at a moderate level to adapt to the organization's security strategy and information security environment.
