Abstract

The escalating demand for organized information resource management within organizations necessitates increased investment in information security (IS), as a single error can lead to information exposure incidents, underscoring the importance of IS compliance by insiders. The research aims to elevate IS compliance within the organization by examining the influence of the shared goal of information security policy (ISP), perceived ISP value and individual's fits on an insider's intention to comply with the ISP. Antecedent research in organizational behavior and IS led to a proposed hypothesis, tested using 366 obtained samples. The ISP shared goal's positive influence on ISP compliance intentions was evident from the test results, primarily through the perceived ISP value. Furthermore, the person-organization and demand-ability fit moderated the antecedent factors associated with ISP compliance intentions. Our findings suggest the methods for sustaining organizational IS levels by examining the requisite conditions from the viewpoints of the organizational environment, ISP values, and fits.

조직의 정보 자원에 대한 체계적인 관리의 필요성이 제기되면서, 조직들은 정보보안 투자를 높이고 있다. 정보 노출 사고는 단 한 건의 실수로 발생할 수 있으므로, 내부자까지 정보보안 준수가 요구된다. 본 연구는 내부의 보안 목표 수준을 높이는 것을 목적으로, 보안정책 목표 공유와 개인의 가치 인식, 그리고 적합성이 내부자의 준수 의도에 미치는 영향을 제시하였다. 조직 행동 및 보안 분야의 선행연구를 기반으로 연구 가설을 제시하였으며, 366건의 표본을 활용하여 가설 검정을 하였다. 결과적으로, 정보보안 정책 목표 공유가 조직원의 정책에 대한 가치 인식을 높여 준수 의도로 연계되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 개인-조직 적합성과 요구-능력 적합성이 준수 의도 관련 선행 요인들과 조절 효과를 가졌다. 연구 결과는 조직 환경과 조직원 가치, 그리고 적합성 관점에서 보안 목표 달성을 위한 조건을 제시하여, 조직의 보안 수준을 유지하는 방안을 제시한다.
