Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the minitrack: Moving
Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research, under the
Information Security and Privacy track of the 2018 AMCIS conference, which
will take place on 16-18 August, 2018 in New Orleans, LA.


Track: Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)

Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security
Research


Employees are organizations' core assets that interact with Information
Systems (IS) in order to perform their tasks; however numerous studies have
reported that employees noncompliance of IS security policies is the main
cause of security breaches within organizations. Over the last decade, the
IS research community has contributed substantial research in order to
understand the causes underlying IS security noncompliance. Most of this
research draws upon the General Deterrence (GDT) and Planned Behavior (PBT)
theories to explain the behavior that motivates IS security compliance. Even
though the existing research has significantly contributed to the
understanding of the phenomenon of IS security noncompliance, several
studies have reported non-convergent findings. The purpose of this
mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss theoretical models,
methodologies, and empirical cases concerning employees' behaviors and
noncompliance with IS security policies.


This mini-track aims to investigate new theories and constructs that have
not been explored in IS security compliance literature. Therefore, we invite
innovative papers that explore new constructs and theories that address a
variety of issues pertaining employees' behaviors towards IS security in
organizations. The goal is to advance our understanding of the IS security
noncompliance phenomenon. Cross-cultural studies or comparative studies
highlighting differences and similarities regarding employees' behaviors
with IS security in emerging and developing countries are also welcome.


Papers must be submitted through the conference website:
