Abstract

The purpose of this study is to prove the relationship of the influence of individual behavior style and organizational culture structure on the information security cognitive factors of employees. The study conducts cross-design by dividing individual characteristics into task coping and emotion coping, and organizational culture into collectivism and individualism. Information security factors consisted of information security awareness, perceived vulnerability, response efficacy, and compliance behavior. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that both personal coping style and organizational culture had an influence on the all cognitive factors of information security. In addition, information security awareness was found to influence compliance behavior through perceived vulnerability and response efficacy. The implications of the study were to confirm the difference in the impact on the compliance behavior according to the individual coping style and organizational culture, and to present the precedent factors for improving the compliance behavior. In other words, the research suggests the information security strategy direction for each individual-organizational dimension.

연구 목적은 개인의 행동 유형과 조직문화 구조에 따라 조직원의 정보보안 행동에 미치는 영향 관계를 검증하는 것이다. 연구는 개인적 특성을 업무중심 대처와 정서중심 대처로, 조직문화를 집단주의와 개인주의로 구분하여 교차설계를 실시한다. 정보보안 요인은 정보보안 인식, 인지된 취약성, 대처 효능감, 그리고 준수 행동으로 제시하였다. 연구 결과, 대처와 조직문화는 모두 정보보안 인지 요인에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 특히, 정서중심 대처가 업무중심 대처보다 인지 평균이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 집단주의가 개인주의보다 인지 평균이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 정보보안 인식은 인지된 취약성, 대처 효능감을 매개로 하여 준수 행동에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 연구의 시사점은 개인 대처유형과 조직문화에 따라 정보보안 행동에 미치는 영향의 차이를 확인하였고, 준수 행동 향상을 위한 선행 요인을 제시하였다. 즉, 연구는 개인-조직 차원별 조직의 정보보안 전략 방향을 제시한다.
