The purpose of this study is to present the environmental factors of positive and negative aspects that affect the information security compliance intention, and reveals the relationship of the individual's the security compliance intention. The subjects of this study are employees of organizations that apply information security policies and technologies, and effective samples were obtained through surveys. In the process of analysis, the study model was verified through structural equation modeling. The measurement variables consisted of security policy, security system, technical support, work impediment, security non-visibility, compliance intention and organizational commitment and used for analysis. The results confirmed that security compliance factors such as policy, system, technical support, and non-compliance factors, work impediment, respectively, had an impact on organizational commitment, leading to compliance intention. The verification result of the research model suggests the direction of establishing a security compliance strategy for employees to improve the level of information security compliance of the organization.

Socially, organizations are required to maintain strict management of their information resources and invest in the adoption of information security (IS) technologies and policies. However, the ongoing threat of information exposure by employees persists within the organization. This study aims to identify the role stress that employees may experience due to strict IS policies and propose methods for reducing its negative impact. Specifically, our study suggests a mechanism for mitigating role stress by incorporating factors related to IS policy goal setting and work regulatory focus. We conducted a survey among workers in the financial industry, where IS policies are rigorously enforced, and tested our research hypotheses using a sample of 309 participants. The results indicate that increasing the difficulty and specificity of IS policy goals reduces role stress (conflict and ambiguity) and positively influences employees' intention to comply with IS policies. Furthermore, individual work promotion focus moderated the relationship between role stress and IS compliance intention. These findings have important implications for organizations seeking to strengthen their IS compliance among employees and inform the development of effective IS strategies.

As protecting organizations' information assets affects their substantiality, they are increasing their investments in policies, regulations, and technologies for systematic information asset management and protection. This study confirms the impact on information security(IS) compliance from the perspective of employees who apply IS policies to actual work. In particular, this study identifies mechanisms linked to IS policy awareness, sanction, justice, and IS compliance from the perspective of expanding deterrence theory. We applied 316 samples obtained from workers of organizations that applied IS policies and regulations to work and verified the relationship between mechanisms by using AMOS and SPSS packages. As a result of the verification, IS policy awareness had a positive effect on organization justice and compliance intention through the severity and clarity of sanctions. Individual justice sensitivity had a moderating effect on the cause and outcome of justice. The sanction-related mechanism presented in this study provides strategic implications for organizations that require active IS activities by insiders.

From the perspective of compliance with security policies by members of the organization, which is a major cause of security incidents, this study presented biased thinking as factors that affect compliance with security policies and verified the following: First, the impact of biased thinking on security policies on compliance with security policies is verified. Second, the participation of management, perceived risk, education and punishment of management will verify the adjustment effect of increasing or decreasing biased thinking. Finally, we have verified that compliance attitudes have a significant impact on compliance behavior. To this end, 157 people were surveyed, statistical analysis of research models and structural equations, and conformity analysis were conducted. Studies have shown that biased thinking has a negative effect on the attitude of compliance with information security. In addition, it was analyzed that the attitude of compliance with information security policy increases policy compliance behavior. On the other hand, the higher the perceived risk of information security, the lower the bias was the adjustment effect, but management's participation, education and punishment were found to have no adjustment effect.

Organizations continue to invest in the security of information technology as a means to be more competitive than others in their industry do. However, there is a relatively lack of interest in the information security compliance of employees who implement information security technologies and policies of organization. This study finds mechanisms for enhancing security compliance by applying theory of planned behavior, justice theory, and motivation theory in information security field. We use structural equation modeling to verify the research hypotheses, and conducted a survey on the employees of organization with information security policy. The results showed that organizational justice, sanction, and organizational identification affect the factors of the planned behavior theory and affect the employee's compliance intention. As a result, this research suggested directions for strategic approach for enhancing employee's compliance intention on organization's security policy.

Although organizations are given various benefits with information technologies, they sometimes have suffered fatal damages due to information security incidents now such as computer virus, hacking, counterfeiting, plagiarizing, etc. The fundamentalcauses of information security incidents are closely related to individuals who do not comply with information security policy or rules. The spontaneous self-control of individuals and monitoring for individuals could be the most essential solution for the ongoing observance of information security policy. Thus, the purpose of this study is to analyze effects of punishment and ethics training on compliance of information security policy of individuals in organizations, to determine individual divide among security propensity depending on organization types, and to find the more fundamental solution which leads change of organizational members’ behaviors and self-control. Regardless of the type of organizations, the results of the study suggest that there exist positive effects of punishment and ethics training in all types of organization on compliance of information security rules or regulations. A member of unitary form organization has higher cognition of punishment than a member's cognition of the multi-divisional form organization, while relatively lower awareness of ethics training. Also, a member of public organization has higher awareness of ethics training than a member’s awareness of private organization, while lower cognition of punishment. Finally, the result shows that punishment and ethics training may be major factors which affect information security. It also suggests that organizational security managers have to understand and consider organization member’s propensity relying on organization form and organization characteristics for establishment and enforcement of information security policy.

This research investigates the impacts of information security (IS) culture and management leadership styles on employee's security behaviors (IS policies compliance, IS participation) in financial institutions. This study use the survey data collected from 236 employees of financial institutions. This research shows that IS culture has a positive effect on both behavioral intentions to comply with IS policies and the intentions to actively participate in information security activities. Transactional leadership has a positive impact on the IS policies compliance intentions and to participate in information security activities. In contrast, transformational leadership has a positive impact on the intentions to participate in information security activities, but not on the IS policies compliance intentions.

Drawing upon Griffin and Neal's safety climate and performance model, this study developed an information security climate model. Research model is composed of three research variables that include information security climate, information security compliance attitude, and opportunistic security behavior. Results of the study strongly support the fundamental proposition that the organizational security climate has significant positive influence on the individual's opportunistic security behavior. However, the study also reveals that the organizational climate may not directly associate with the reduction of opportunistic security behavior. Rather the organizational security climate nurtures the favorable attitude of the employee towards the compliance of information security, which in turn discourages opportunistic security behavior.

The importance of personal data protection is increasingly emphasized both at home and abroad, and while overseas countries are applying various policies and dynamic management technologies, there are some gaps between compliance with laws and regulations and the application of technologies in Korea, and there are few user interfaces that provide convenient ways for data subjects to stop processing personal data. This study first analyzes the need for dynamic personal information consent management technology, the current state of the industry, and the prospects for its development. Next, this study proposes a basic model for dynamic management of personal information consent that maximizes the data subject's right to personal data self-determination while strictly complying with personal data protection laws in Republic of Korea. In particular, this study analyzes the basis of domestic laws and regulations related to the suspension of personal data processing, designs a basic model of personal data consent dynamic management interface, and presents its effectiveness. Based on the results of this study, we expect that the proposed dynamic management model for personal data use consent can be used in various ways for various websites and applications in the future.
