摘要
Employee engagement in nonmalicious information security violations (NISVs) is a threat to organizations. The Social Cognitive Theory was used to investigate the effects of personal and environmental factors on the intention to engage in NISVs. Data of 204 working professionals in Germany were used for analysis. Key results showed that personal goal setting, employee organizational commitment, and vicarious learning reduced employees' intentions to engage in NISVs. Implications of the findings for research and practice were discussed.
