“…The theoretical foundation of this hypothesis can be traced to the concept of role theory and organisational role expectations, Crosby (1999), Leering et al (2022), Frank and Kohn (2023), Castilla and Ranganathan (2020). Role theory suggests that individuals adhere to behaviours that are congruent with the roles they occupy, driven by the expectations associated with those roles, Bandura (1977), Bandura (1997), Eccles and Wigfield (2020).…”

In the advanced field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within modern corporate frameworks, the pressing issue of non-compliance becomes increasingly crucial. Achieving the ideal balance—where one fosters consistent employee commitment without resorting to overly harsh penalties for possible violations—presents a complex problem. Such a nuanced relationship calls for a synchronized coordination among the company’s underlying factors, the principles of the Information Security Plan (ISP), and overarching compliance mandates. As companies step into a period where digital environments are in constant flux, the importance of securing information systems rises to a critical level. Against this backdrop, compliance stands out as a vital component, functioning as a stringent safeguard in the ongoing mission to protect precious digital assets—a mission comprehensively detailed within the ISP. This in-depth academic study sets out to rigorously explore and scrutinize the diverse opinions and beliefs of committed employees and insightful management concerning unwavering company alignment with the ISP. This is accomplished by defining a construct that centers on key dimensions: Organizational Culture, Personal Attitudes, Actors, Behavioral Intentions, and Motivational Dynamics. Eleven Hypotheses are outlined and represent the materialisation of the model. This model form a starting point from which future empirical exploration will be able to take place, propelling us towards a deeper understanding of the phenomena under scrutiny.

“…Empirical studies based on behavioral theories have been carried out to explore the persistent phenomenon of employees disobeying information security regulations (Njenga, 2016). Examples include General Deterrence Theory (GDT) D'Arcy and Herath, (2011), Neutralization Theory Skowronek, (2022), and Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (Frank and Kohn, 2023).…”

The increasing reliance on information systems in public authorities in Tanzania has heightened the importance of ensuring secure behavior among employees to safeguard sensitive data and protect against potential threats. However, promoting secure behavior remains challenging for organizations, leading to vulnerabilities in their information systems. This study explored self-efficacy (SE) in effective strategies to promote secure employee behavior toward information systems in Tanzania's public authorities, using the Tanzania Communication Regulatory Authority (TCRA), Dar es Salaam, as a case study. This study uses A Social Cognitive Theory as a guiding theory. Findings indicated that employees' performance of secure behavior is affected by the low level of SE since more employees seemed to have doubts about their confidence level in undertaking security-related tasks. The study recommends the improvement in the current security awareness programs that should find a way to focus on the SE of employees to improve their confidence in performing secure behavior and also on the development of clear security guidelines that are user-friendly to employees to make them understand what the importance of them adhering to security guidelines and policies and hence feel comfortable executing them. This study recommended more research on public and private organizations to add to the body of knowledge on improving strategies to promote secure employee behavior.
