Dear Colleagues,

Track: Cybersecurity, Privacy & Ethics



Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research





DESCRIPTION



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 with 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 non-compliance. Most of this research draws upon the General Deterrence Theory and Theory of Planned Behavior theory 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 to employees' behaviors toward 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.
